Part 2: Update on Apple CarPlay, seat configurations, stop/start problems, usability issues, roofbars, towbar problems, special features, sound insulation and accessories.
The 1st REAL owner review of the Peugeot Traveller, I'm not getting paid by Peugeot so I can show you all the good bits and the bad.
I'm a UK Dad with a family of 7 and this is my car for 2 years.
Model: Standard Allure with 180bhp BlueHDi EAT6-Auto
Latest blog post covered keyless entry on the Peugeot Traveller.

Thanks for this update... wife and I have found this and the other video very helpful for our research!
Your videos are a great help. I may have missed this bit but would you please show the legroom for the rear row of seats?
Hi Lynn. Did you check my other video? I handed back this car (lease) 4 years ago so can’t get you my more photos. Sorry.
Turn stop start off lol. What did we do before stop start, steering wheel adjustment and drink holders.
I like your reviews.
Hi. Is it possible to fold flat the front passenger seat? If so what is the distance from the tailgate to the dashboard. Also what is the interior length between the tailgate and the backrest of the drivers seat. Great video. Thank-you
One thing on this that he said about the stop start when parking hit the thing with the stop start is that it engages when at a low enough speed and then engages when you let go of the brake in autos but the thing to remember is when he wants it to move it does and does it still creep yes my mum has a Citroen c4 grand Picasso which yes not same brand but owned by the same people and the tech and stuff is all together even the keys are exactly the same but that does the same thing but it does what you want it to when you want it to so plain and simple if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
Useful information 🙏🏻
Regarding the tow bar, try to get Peugeot to swap the towbar neck for one that is compatible with Alko caravan stabiliser hitches. They are narrower just below the neck and will be standard on most car towbar. As the Base vehicle is a commercial vehicle, the towbar neck doesn't need to be compatible with Alko caravan hitches.
Hi. I managed to grind off the plastic covering which solved the problem. Thanks!
To add to this my Citroen Spacetourer was ordered with the factory fitted fixed towbar. A Thule bike rack fits perfectly onto the ball without having to remove any if the plastic coating. It was one of the first things I checked when it was delivered after the problems that Ben so helpfully reported.
Have you or anyone you know towed a single axle tourer with the traveller auto
Hi Ben, has Peugeot already fixed the door's children lock/unlock button behaviour? Thank you for your excellent reviews and blog!
cheeers for all the updates m8
Hi Ben, how did you remove the rear seat?
Thanks for the review!
Good video
Thank you so much for both reviews! Wanna get the Traveller.. or the Proace Verso next year!
One thing really bothered my while testing the car. Didn't you get annoyed by the center console where the automatic dial is located? It constantly touched my knee ... - maybe it's a bigger problem for left hand drivers because that's my gas foot... any replay would be helpful! br from austria!
If you have any questions, check my blog first for the answer then come back and reply here if I've not covered it.
I will collect together requests and turn them into a future video.
don't forget about the touch as well in the back
Covered it in my first video.
Ben Hopkins must have missed that bit I have Android I press the phone button and then there is an Android signal when I am connected up then I can control all my Android stuff
Any suggestion as to how one should own this car in terms of financing? Would you recommend Lease or PCP contract? I can not purchase through interest. Thank you
Hi Ben can you boil a kettle with the 3 pin plug thanks
great review ben been looking at getting the traveller allure 2.0 150 manual compact but after looking at space probably go for the standard. also was looking at getting the satnav but after your review will just stick with CarPlay which i think the navigation/maps on my iPhone are better than actual satnavs.
Just wrote a review of the CarPlay system in the Traveller... peugeottraveller.wordpress.com/2017/08/19/apple-carplay-review-on-peugeot-traveller/
just read through your review its good that you pointed out signal loss when using maps on the phone. but i have trouble with the built in satnav in the mazda cx5 it cuts out loses satellite signal etc also used the portable satnavs garmin, tom-tom, etc and still had trouble with them. so use the phone maps also can't see myself driving up to Scotland anytime soon.
keep up the good work regards matthew
aircon for the passengers please
I am big fan of your reviews and blog. Recently I bought the exactly same model. Would you please confirm do you still owe this model and do you have any problems like mine. I have adblue urea thank and injector faults on 20k miles. Sometimes the engine colant is difficult to reach working temperature even running more than 30min. The right sliding door is opening itself sometimes. The xenon projectors became foggy from inside. And all this after only 20k miles. I am just curious am I unlucky or just global problem for this model.
Hello Hari. I’ve spent the last 10 years leasing cars so rarely see any reliability issue as the cars are new, the Peugeot (and the Citroen SpaceTourer I had after) were fine, both owned for 2 years each. Sorry to hear about the problems, I’d search for a Traveller Forum and ask there, hopefully these issues can be fixed cheaply, with the car being 6 years old most issues should be discussed and resolutions found. Good luck pal!
Both of my traveller cant closed the rear door. I already left it opening for 2 days. It seems like there are some kind of door locking system turn on but i dont know what it is. Already deactivated the childlock and yet the door still cant close. Need help
“Both of my rear door cant closed” thats wht i mean
Hi Ben, did you ever upgrade to the long version as mentioned ? If so any major differences in the driving experience?
Thanks
Do you still have the car?
Great videos, thanks. Just checked the blog too and have two questions:
1. Did you say the maximum boot depth is 64cm, i.e. with the rear seats pushed as far forward as possible that's as much as you get? I guess they're limited in the rails then, especially if the seat belts are side mounted rather than seat mounted like the Caravelle. That's a negative for me if that's the case.
2. Do the seats fold flat? Sometimes I want to move lots of stuff and no passengers. Also, if they do fold flat, do they do it in such a way that you could sleep on them? Again I'm thinking of the Caravelle.
Thanks again for taking the time to do these videos and the blog.
The push forward quite far, can fold flat (but not into the floor), and can pivot up on the front legs to increase room.
The business vip has more seats that are reversible with belts attached to the seat. See her for more specifics on the seats.. peugeottraveller.wordpress.com/owner-resources/
Thank you very much for your videos and the blog, they are great!
I was wondering about the actual weight of the seats. Especially the two that come out together. I'm guessing that if the one that comes out on its own is already very heavy, as you say in your blog, then the other two must be impossible to carry? Would your wife and you be able to carry them say a few metres into storage or would you need some kind of trolley to move them?
Thanks a lot in advance!
I think that will be possible, hard cart sounds like the perfect idea to transport them. I carried my single but probably should invest in a hand card should I need to take them all out.
Great video! Txhs!
Nice couple of vids, 2 questions, is there a sunroof and has yours got the webasto heating system ?
grecsoap27 Hi. There is a panoramic roof (Allure and VIP) that runs from the rear to the middle. A webasto heater? It’s a just a normal car heater, loads of vents on the floor and roof.
Nice reviews Ben! I do wonder, did you ditch the Alhambra just because the Traveller is a bit more spacious? Or were there any other big considerations? Disclaimer: we are a family of 4 (two soon-to-be-school-kids) and I am perfectly fine with my Kia Carens. Of course a bit more space in the boot would be nice from time to time, but so far we always managed and I never needed a roof box. Maybe one shall come once the kids grow older and we might go skiing with fill-size skis for 4...
Just more room for the same money. Specs between this van and MPVs are the same so to gain an extra seat and boot space is a big benefit. All seats are full sized adult with plenty of legroom.
Nice. We shall see where the MPV/VAN segment moves in a few years and whether MPVs will make any resurgence or not...
Hi Joe. Switching from KIA Carens '14 to Peugeot Traveller '17 in weeks from now. Having 3 kids all using the safety seat(which stays in the car 24/7) it is hard for me to use the third row Carens offers. Also there is a big issue with not having proper luggage room if 7 seats are in use. Made a test drive with Peugeot Traveller L3 '19 today and I truly am surprised in amount of space this car has. Probably will remove also 1 single seat from the middle row to ease the entrance to the 3rd row but as I saw how simple it is to move the 2nd row there is no essential need to do it.
Hi Ben, thanks a lot for your answer regarding the rear door opening in this video;) We are decided to order the automatic opening for our car... Do you happen to know (or does anyone know) if there is a possibility to order the seats in the third row afterwards? We were told (by retailer) that it's not sure if there are the tracks at the back of the car to add there more seats if we order the five seats version... That it's a puzzle to solve because nobody was able to confirm it to the retailer:( Many thanks, Jana
I guess you don't need the extra seats right else you would have ordered them. I don't think it will be possible to get them aftermarket, I think the tracks might well be there but I can't be sure. If you want more seats, cancel your order and get the right car...nothing worse than regretting your decision for the next few years.
Hi Ben, thank you very much for your feedback. We are going to order the car tomorrow morning. So we have to think it over till tomorrow:) The truth is that if we order the seats afterward it'll be definitely much more expensive.
Just turn off the start stop.. Shouldn't this work??
Can the electric passenger seat on the Allure fold flat (forward) into the table position. The manual seat apparently can.
Thanks
John
John Lloyd, just tried it and no it’s not possible.
Hi there excellent videos thanks, I am looking to buy this but what do you think of a Toyota Proace Verso do they have the same engine and rest of the body parts I mean which is better.
john smith Toyota ways better
The Thule roof bars once installed dont seem quite as far apart as I thought they might be (looking at the photos on your excellent blog). Do you know roughly how far apart they are When in place ? I have a massive roof box and am slightly worried that I may need to downsize when my car is delivered.
Pesmog they are 62cm apart. I thought the same thing ( too narrow) turned out fine.
Thx, very helpful. My roofbox is 7 feet long so I am going to have to look very carefullly how it will fit with the bars so close together. As I will have a towbar, I may investigate a towbar mounted rear transport box instead. Thx again.
I'd be looking to use the car as a 5 seater then store 3 bikes behind the rear seats, would that be possible without taking off the wheels?
Yes, that should be possible
@@100benih
Thank you
Hi!
Thanks for your review. Is it possible to fold over the rear seats to use the space underneath the 3rd row seats? So that they lean on the 2nd row seats? I know that this is possible with the models without the tracks on the floor.
Yes this is possible, see page 96 of the user manual. peugeottraveller.wordpress.com/owner-resources/
Ben Hopkins Thanks for the quick answer!
Do you have any issues with the screen not connecting to smart phones
Not really no, maybe try a different cable. The traveller has issues when going into reverse, doesn't effect the Spacetourer I have now.
No electric trunk lid and back seats that cannot be freely slid throughout the whole back of the car is a deal breaker for me :(
Do the front seats swivel
Yes that's what I want to know
@@debbietriggs6813 No they do not. Sorry.
My screen goes blank on my Rifter. Stop start is crap, I turn it off, that's when it decides to work. . Fuel consumption improved from below 40 to 52 after 6000 miles. Not impressed with Peugeot service. Would I buy another, definitely not from Stoneacre. Back to Suzuki for me. You are made to feel like a valued customer
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Thinking of getting one.
very good every one loves my one and thay have vw and mercedes.

Nice video but u should change ur t shirt lol
Thanks for the videos. Came across this when researching the Toyota Proace, which I gather is pretty much the same vehicle. Could you please let us know what the width across the rear seats is? I'm wondering whether or not it would be possible to use the Multimac 1320 with this vehicle - goo.gl/8m3ief - That way one could fit 9 people in a 2-3-4 configuration, which is handy for transporting a large group of different ages. I guess the vehicle is available as 9 seater, with three rows of three seats, but I can see that having a space between the front two seats can be really handy, especially with young children. Anyways, if you can let us know whether you reckon the multimac 1320 would fit, that would be great. Thanks!
Mo Beats Hi and thanks for watching. It's 1340mm wide but you can probably fit the Multimac in, there is 1350mm of room available.
38mpg... thats disappointing.....
Thule is pronounced "Tool-ee".
