Peugeot Australia has unveiled the refreshed MY25 Expert van, sharpening its appeal to business buyers with a strong focus on lower emissions, upgraded safety tech, and an unmatched payload for its class.
With a new look, enhanced tech, and a simplified automatic-only line-up, the MY25 Expert continues Peugeot’s mission to combine European flair with real-world practicality – and the upgrades are tailored to suit commercial operators who want form and function in equal measure.
A Van That Meets the Moment on Emissions
From July 2025, the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) will set tougher emissions benchmarks for commercial vehicles. Peugeot is getting ahead of the curve with the new MY25 Expert, delivering a combined CO₂ emission figure of just 165 g/km. That puts it squarely within the NVES target range – a key concern for businesses reviewing fleet procurement strategies for compliance and environmental impact.
Fuel consumption is equally frugal, with a combined cycle figure of 6.3L/100km (NEDC). This makes the MY25 Expert one of the more efficient options for diesel-powered medium vans on the market.
Class-Leading Payload Capacity
One of the headline improvements is payload – and it’s a big one. Thanks to a new heavy-duty suspension upgrade, the diesel MY25 Expert now leads its segment:
- 1350kg in Short Wheelbase (SWB) Pro and Premium variants
- 1325kg in Long Wheelbase (LWB) versions
That payload rating tops the medium van segment, based on JATO Dynamics data from May 2025. It means operators can carry more without stepping up to a larger – and more expensive – van class. Whether you’re in courier work, trades, or passenger conversions, that extra load flexibility can save time and reduce the number of trips.
Gold-Standard Safety in a Busy World
The MY25 Expert Diesel Van has earned a GOLD safety grading from ANCAP in its latest Commercial Van Safety Comparison – a major endorsement for a vehicle operating in high-risk, high-traffic environments.
Key active safety features now standard across all variants include:
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Blind Spot Detection
- Active Lane Keep Assist
- Speed Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition
- Advanced Driver Attention Alert
And that’s on top of must-haves like dual front and side airbags, rear parking sensors, a 180° reversing camera, and Peugeot’s clever new Digital Rear View Mirror with Dynamic Surround Vision – ideal for when the cargo area blocks visibility.
For fleet buyers and business owners, this combination of passive and active safety features helps reduce workplace risk and support Chain of Responsibility compliance for vehicles under 4.5-tonne GVM.
Functional Tech for the Daily Drive
Peugeot hasn’t stopped at safety. The MY25 update includes:
- A new 10” fully digital instrument cluster
- A new 10” HD touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
- Keyless entry (Premium variants)
- Wireless smartphone charging (Premium variants)
- Heated driver’s seat and improved dashboard storage
The layout and ergonomics have been streamlined with a flat “e-toggle” gear shifter, and Premium variants get a ‘ModuWork’ mobile office setup with a glazed bulkhead and fold-down middle seat table – perfect for tradies or delivery drivers taking a break between jobs.
Built to Carry and Built to Last
All MY25 Expert variants share the same robust drivetrain – a 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine producing 110kW and 370Nm, paired with an 8-speed Efficient Automatic Transmission. That torque delivery from just 2000rpm is ideal for heavy payloads and city stop-start traffic.
Every model also features a 70-litre fuel tank, full-size spare, and maximum braked towing of 600kg – making it more of a load lugger than a tower, but a highly practical and affordable choice for urban-focused fleets.
Pricing, Warranty and Service Support
The MY25 Expert range starts at \$48,990 (MLP), and all models come with:
- 5 Year / 200,000km Warranty
- Capped-price servicing (\$485 for the first service, every 20,000km/12 months)
- Pre-paid service plans (3 years from \$1,295)
That kind of certainty is welcome in a volatile operating cost environment – and with finance options like Guaranteed Future Value, novated lease buyers and small businesses can budget with confidence.
Verdict
The MY25 Peugeot Expert is no longer the quiet achiever in the mid-size van segment – it’s now making a confident play for top billing.
With segment-leading payload, gold-star safety, and lower emissions that meet 2025 NVES targets, this van isn’t just fit for purpose – it’s built for the future.
Whether you’re running a local plumbing crew or managing a national delivery fleet, the Expert is now a serious contender.
