Present Peugeot Expert, Citroen Jumpy and Toyota Proace of a new generation. Test vans: what the French can teach Germans (and vice versa) Credit Programs of PSA Bank

About the sweet couple of new French vans Peugeot Expert and Citroen Jumpy We are repeatedly. In Europe, they are sold since last summer, and in July of this year, Expert and Jumpy should appear in our country. In winter, their configuration for Russia, as well as refinement for our conditions. And now we also reported Russian prices for Expert and Jumpy.

Compared to the European version (in the photo), ground clearance "Russian" expert / jumpy rose to 17.5 cm

It is expected that the first cargo vans will be coming to the market: "Luxury" Peugeot Traveler and Citroen Space Tourer will appear later, and access to the Russian market for passenger options Expert and Jumpy is still questionable. There is no clarity and with production in Kaluga - at least as long as new vans will be supplied from France.

Cruise control with speed limiter enters the standard equipment of all versions

But with uncertainty prices no longer. Moreover, the price now does not depend on the brand: EXPERT and JUMPY in the respective equipment are equally. The cozy cheap short van with a complete weight of 2490 kg (so that there are no challenges with a carcase in the capital) with a body of 4.6 m 3, Diesel 1.6 with a capacity of 90 hp. And the five-speed "mechanics" is estimated at 1 million 300 thousand rubles. For a similar machine with a complete mass of 3.1 tons (loading capacity of 1035 kg), they are asked for a hundred thousand more. And for the most expensive EXPERT / JUMPY with a body of 6.1 m 3, a two-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 150 hp And Aisin will have to give 1 million 725 thousand rubles "automata". Is there a lot or a little? How to see.

For beautiful alloy wheels Russian buyers expert / jumpy will have to give 48 thousand rubles

For example, freight prices Ford Transit. Custom with a body of 5.95 m 3 and a 100-power engine begins with a mark of 1 million 750 thousand rubles. Volkswagen Transporter With 5.8 cubic meters of space in the body and Diesel in 102 hp And more expensive: minimum 1 million 830 thousand. With a similar situation, the EXPERT / JUMPY pair should become for russian buyers Very attractive offer.

"What are you, air around the air?" - The Belarusian customs officer looked like a blank body of Citroen Jumpy. Indeed, it would not hurt it to download - the vans are riveted harshly. And even before entering Vilnius, add in front of the front parking sensors and the rear view chamber. Then it would be easier to turn on narrow streets and squeezed into medieval arches.

New Citroen Jumpy and Peugeot Expert are accurate between the heels and large vans. It is hardly the most stylish "merchants" in Russia. However, from the French just this and waiting: concave sidewalls, wide wheeled arches and complex optics. In fact, the vans differ in the signatures and design of the front part - Expert has its own grille, headlights and top of the bumper with "horns".

Technically cars are completely identical - the same motors, the same options. And the same modular EMP2 platform, which builds all new passengers of segments C and D under the names of Peugeot, Citroen and ... Opel. On the same base built minivans Citroen Spaceter and Peugeot Traveler. There will be French vans and a relative from Japan - Toyota Proace.

The interior of the vans is unified, and most importantly, the difference here is the nameplates on the steering wheel. Plastic is hard everywhere, as sharing a commercial car, but the designers played it with color and texture, as well as the form of details. What, for example, stand alone faceted dials.

The front panel is highly located, because of which the review suffers a little. In addition, the box for papers and cup holders need to be stretching. It would not be prevented by another pair of cupboards in more convenient places, but niche and pockets of various shapes and size in sufficiency - only on each door of three. Open glove box on the front panel is designed for smartphones, inside it and a socket, and an audio jack.

Usually, French cars are thrown over ergonomic surprises like the handbrake on the left, but here everything is quite standard. With the exception of the washer-selector of the 6-speed "automaton". At first glance, unusual, but here are four standard transmission regimes. Plus a separate button for manual gear. Surprisingly, the commercial van has stealing petals as in a sports car.

However, it also copes with shifting transmissions without any assistance and works with a two-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 150 horse power. Hydromechanical "Automatic" AISIN passenger models PSA. For Moscow traffic jams, such a transmission will be worthless, although it is more expensive than 6-speed "mechanics" per 100 thousand rubles. Another version of the motor for new vans is a 90-strong turbodiesel with a 5-stage MCP. The journey of the European "robot" in Russia will not.

Both van are managed by passenger. It was quite passenger and fuel consumption - in the 7-8 liters area. The driver's seat with lumbar adjustment and armrest is not bad, the back does not get tired of it. However, threesome ride in the cockpit on long distances closely. It will not be superfluous to order and the noise insulation partition of the cab - the body is noticeably resonated.

Style and charm do not interfere with the van of their direct purpose: carry loads. JUMPY and EXPERT are available with three body options: 4.6, 5.3 and 6.1 cubic meters. Europoddon enters the body across, and through the sliding side door - a narrow part. The Moduwork special system with a raised passenger seat and a hatch in the cabin will allow shiping four meters long.

Oh, how often the dilemma occurs - either a lot, but expensive, or cheap, but not enough. Especially when money is barely enough, so as not to go bankrupt. In the world of light commercial vans, such a problem is designed to solve the twins - "French" Citroen Jumpy and Peugeot Expert.

For me to the company, every week comes with checking from any government agenant, constantly "nightmare" greedy officials, and here still the city authorities are to - displace the trucks from the city, coming up with new limitations ... how many problems!

Designer for merchant

I only presented myself as a business owner, and I already got my head. However, now one difficult task is less. The choice of vans for transportation has become more attractive thanks to the new Citroen Jumpy and Peugeot Expert. Attractive at once in several parameters.

First of all - according to the size and price ratio. Agree, in life, the search for the golden middle often ends with failure, whatever you choose. Among the vans is the same story. There is a simple, like three pennies, and an affordable "Gazelle Next", where even the fog is considered a "luxury". Is there Fiat Ducato. or Ford Transit, but they are too big and expensive. So many space for cargo is not necessary. And I'm not talking about more comfortable and transf price Volkswagen. Transporter and Mercedes-Benz Vito.

This is where the PSA concern "shot" exactly in target with its Citroen Jumpy and Peugeot Expert. Dimensions - the average that you need. Prices - too, from 1,299,900 rubles.

And the French brands decided to choose for the offensive exactly "Commercial Front". We tested the novelties of Peugeot Expert and Citroen Jumpy - an intermediate link between the Little "Partner / Berlingo's Little Cabinets and Boxer / Jumper Large Chest. To be clearer, in the format of trucks most resemble Volkswagen Transporter.

Actually, with Volkswagen Transporter and Ford Transit and to fight "French". Who will win? The final meeting of the meeting will depend on many conditions: in particular, from the cost of ownership and peculiarities of leasing. Therefore, before the release of new vans, the Russian office worked very carefully precisely the financial side.

What is the "French" better than the Germans?

1. Price.Expert and Jumpy stand equally. The simple short van of a complete mass of 2490 kg can be bought for 1 million 300 thousand rubles. It will be a 90-strong 1.6-liter diesel engine that can accommodate 4.6 cubic meters of cargo. For the most expensive truck - with a 150-strong two-liter diesel engine, a 6-range automatic machine and a 6.1-cubic body - dealers will ask 1 million 725 thousand rubles.

And it is very attractive price tags! For comparison, for a sixkube Ford Transit Custom with a 100-power engine and mechanical box We'll have to give 1 million 750 thousand rubles. Eminent Volkswagen Transporter with a 102-power engine, which has a 5.8 cubic cargo compartment, and more expensive: in the basic version - at least 1 million 830 thousand.

2. Suspension. The route of the first test was held on the roads of Vilnius, who remind the central streets of our provincial cities: deep choseli not to find, but pens and irregularities - even debt. And here the vans performed "on excellent." The suspension is not just mild, and the dense, assembled - as the representatives of both brands are assured specifically reinforced for our conditions.

Another advantage - in the cockpit is very quiet even on an empty car. And since the fresh generation of the "expert" and "Jampy" is built on the Emp2 passenger platform, then the twins are felt more passenger and dynamic than their competitors.

3. Transmission.On the first test there was no basic 1.6-liter (90 hp) of the diesel version, which will surely give the main sales volume. But a two-liter machine - a real bomb: 150 hp Power and 370 N ∙ M torque for a three-ton truck - the perfect ratio. By the way, under the crankcase of the engine installed powerful protection - this is marked only for Russia.

And the well-known PSA concern, which decided to spend money on a classic 6-range machine from the AISIN assortment. In traffic jams, the box behaves well - unlike robots that begin to transfer the transfer there and here. Consumption? In the torn urban rhythm on an empty car it did not work out more than 7.5 liters of diesel.

4. Equipment.Each manufacturer of commercial machines is trying to come up with any special cargo "Fishechki". Citroen and Peugeot has such a "rummy" passenger seat: Raised the pillow and get an additional cubic meter for the carriage of the bolery (for the carriage of the long runs in the partition there is a hatch, but you will not surprise anyone).

There is also one useful "driving" point, taken from the world of cars. The GRIP Control Option system allows you to select "Dirt" modes, "Snow", "Sand" - such imitation of the differential lock is quite enough to bring the cargo to some village (and seriously consider the van as a car for the conquest of off-road can only madness).

Salon can be two- or three-bed: True, in the long road of three large men, it is better not to send together - closed

What is the "French" worse "Germans"?

1. Review.Apparently, in France - the deficiency of the mirrors: very small "lops" are installed on "Jampy" and "Expert". Moreover, the mirror is without wide-angle sectors! Remaining solution for a delivering machine. Or is it done specifically so that the client has spent on the optional parking sensors or the rear view chamber? You can also turn to wide body racks.

2. brakes.This, of course, is a matter of habit, but the French for some reason always make the brake pedal very sensitive ... It seems to be pressed hardly, and the car literally "gets up with a stake." But from another strange feature of the Expert / Jumpy models - in the former generation lever manual brakes He was located on the left of the driver - engineers, fortunately, got rid of.

Take cargo

It is annoying that the machines for Russia are deprived of an extremely useful option that the European press praises: the French first put on delivery vans system "Hands Free" - when you spend the foot under the side door and the electric drive shifts it. Conveniently! But expensive. And Peugeot and Citroen for russian market elected another strategy.

But the manufacturers "adjusted" the characteristics of the vans under the metropolitan standards, since Moscow is one of the main LCV markets. Thus, the passport capacity of vans does not exceed a ton, which allows you to enter the third ring inward, and since full mass It is less than 2.5 tons, then the machines are not terrible and the "cargo frame" (the ban leave the main highways).

So the French bring to the market a really thoughtful, comfortable and maneuverable cars. With high-quality ergonomic interiors. It remains only a question of reliability: how, for example, the motors of Euro-6 will behave in which urea need to be poured? But this question will remain unanswered for a while.
