• The Peugeot Multi, a 205based van with a purpose-built box body, will become available in the UK by Janurary.
An example of the Multi, launched recently in France, is expected in the UK within two weeks for type approval.
The new Multi has the 205 CDVs engine options: a 1,124cc, 40kW (53hp) four-pot petrol unit, and a 1,769cc 44kW (59hp) IDI diesel engine. While its load volume of 1.6m3 is better than the current 205 van's, it is less than its competitors such as the Fiat Fiorino (2.7m3), the Citroen Visa (2.67m3), the Renault Extra (2.6m3), and the Seat Terra (2.45m3). The Multi's platform length is 1.37m and the van has a 1.05m roof height. The petrol model's GVW is
1,195kg; the diesel model weighs 1,270. Claimed payloads are 395kg, and 389kg respectively.
Peugeot Multi models have already been exhibited on the Continent, including this one at the Amsterdam Show.
