Peugeot e-Expert Combi Long 50 kWh

Overview

The Peugeot e-Expert Combi Long 50 kWh is an all-electric people-mover that, while not officially sold Stateside, offers a glimpse into practical Euro-style EV transport. As a "Combi Long," it boasts an extended wheelbase for maximum passenger and cargo hauling, with seating for up to nine! Production concluded in 2024, so it's now a used-market find in Europe. With its 50 kWh battery pack (46.3 kWh usable), it’s geared for urban utility and shuttle duties. Official US pricing isn't available due to its EU-only market status and discontinued production.

What's New for 2024?

For 2024, the Peugeot e-Expert Combi Long 50 kWh primarily marked the end of its production run. As this specific configuration was discontinued during 2024, there weren't "new for 2024" feature updates in the traditional sense. Instead, this model year represents the final examples rolling off the assembly lines in France, Turkey, and the UK. So, if you were eyeing one on the European pre-owned market, a 2024 model would be the newest you could get, encompassing all refinements made up to its final production date before it was discontinued.

Design & Exterior

The e-Expert Combi Long is all about function over flash, rocking that classic van silhouette designed for maximum interior space. Think slab sides, a commanding driving position, and large windows perfect for sightseeing or keeping an eye on the crew. The "Long" version stretches out to an impressive 209 inches in length, stands 73.9 inches tall, and spans 75.6 inches wide (mirrors folded, naturally). Its utilitarian roots mean it's more about practicality than posing, but its clean lines give it a contemporary, no-nonsense appeal for a big people-hauler.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside the e-Expert Combi Long, and you'll find a cabin built for versatility and durability. Depending on configuration, it can seat anywhere from five to a whopping nine occupants! Material quality is robust, ready for the rigors of family or commercial life. For tech, expect a straightforward infotainment system, likely a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities. Cargo is king here: a useful 34.9 cubic feet behind the rearmost seats, expanding to a cavernous 123.5 cubic feet with seats tumbled. No frunk on this one, though!

Performance & Driving Experience

Don't expect to win drag races, but the e-Expert Combi Long 50 kWh gets the job done with its 100 kW (around 134 hp) Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. It sends 192 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels, making for a 0-60 mph dash in a leisurely 12.6 seconds. Top speed is capped at 81 mph. The driving experience is geared towards smooth urban cruising and easy maneuverability for its size. Regenerative braking helps claw back some energy, and the ride is generally composed, soaking up bumps pretty well for a van-based machine.

Range, Battery & Charging

This van packs a 46.3 kWh usable battery (50 kWh nominal), delivering a Green Cars Compare calculated real-world range estimate of 122 miles – decent for daily duties. Efficiency is rated at 2.63 mi/kWh. For juice-ups, the standard 7.4 kW on-board AC charger can refill the battery in around 6.5 hours. Find a DC fast charger, and it can gulp down electrons at up to 101 kW, potentially taking around 30 minutes for a 10-80% charge. While it uses CCS Type 2 in Europe, a US version would sport a CCS Type 1 port.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Official NHTSA or IIHS ratings aren't available as this Peugeot wasn't sold in the US, and specific Euro NCAP results for this EV trim are not in the provided data. However, Stellantis vans of this platform often offer a solid suite of driver aids in Europe. These could include features like autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and driver attention alert, though availability (standard or optional) would depend on the specific European trim level. Always verify the individual vehicle's specs for equipped safety tech.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

As the e-Expert Combi wasn't sold new in the US, specific American warranty details don't exist. However, in Europe, Peugeot typically offers a basic warranty like 2 years/unlimited mileage or 3 years/60,000 miles. The crucial battery warranty is generally 8 years or 100,000 miles, for at least 70% capacity. Powertrain coverage often mirrors the basic warranty. A big plus for EVs like this is the potential for lower maintenance costs due to fewer moving parts compared to their gas-guzzling cousins, great for keeping running costs down.
