It’s been confirmed that Stellantis Pro One is introducing a new mid-range trim level across its small van range, which includes the recently facelifted Peugeot Partner, Citroen Berlingo, Vauxhall Combo and Fiat Doblo. The new ‘Plus’ trim will offer customers another choice of price point alongside an upgraded infotainment system, a 10-inch touchscreen, a dual front passenger bench seat, a load-through bulkhead and more. The new trim level will - predictably - sit between entry-level and top-spec models. So, let’s take a closer look at what this new trim level will offer drivers.

What Additional Features Will ‘Plus’ Trim Add?

The additional features included with the new ‘Plus’ trim level will include an enhanced infotainment system, a 10-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and natural voice recognition, a three-seat bench seat with a load-through bulkhead, and an electric parking brake on all versions.
These features are added to the already-available standard specifications included on the entry-level trims, which include air conditioning, six-way adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar adjustment, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, cruise control with speed limiter and steering wheel mounted audio controls.

What Features Do The Stellantis Small Vans Already Offer?

The vehicles already provide a strong list of driver assistance and safety features, including rear parking sensors, lane keep assist, intelligent speed assistance, driver attention alert, automatic lights with high beam assist and advanced emergency braking system.

What Power Trains Are Available On The Stellantis Small Vans?

All versions also come with a choice of diesel and electric powertrains.
The electric versions feature a 52kWh battery and 136PS (100kW) electric motor, can travel up to 213 miles on a single charge (WLTP combined cycle) and can be recharged from 0-80% in 30 minutes at a 100kW public charger. If you want a diesel engine under the bonnet you can choose between 100PS and 130PS versions of a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. ‘Plus’ trim is available with the 100PS version only, which is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox.

Conclusions

It’s interesting to see a third trim level arrive on Stellantis small vans following a period of ‘trim level consolidation’ on some of the other size segments the company operates in over the previous five years. Stellantis has confirmed this new trim level is being added in response to “customer demand”, but whatever the reason it’s a great opportunity for the company to open up their products to the middle of the market with a more friendly price point.
What this means for the entry-level models, however, will be left to see. If the mid-range price point isn’t too much more than entry-level, why wouldn’t a customer opt for the slightly higher spec (especially on a lease) if that spec fully upgrades the van with the new infotainment system, bench seat and load-through? Time will tell and I’m very interested to see how these new ‘Plus’ trim models sell.
