2023 Peugeot Expert Summary

Mid-sized (2.5 to 3.5-tonne) commercial van buyers have a variety of makes and models to choose from, even though most buy the venerable HiAce.

Latest VFACTS figures confirm Toyota’s long-standing dominance, as the HiAce commands just under 40 per cent market share with the remainder spread across ten competitors from Europe, China and Korea.

One of those is Peugeot’s Expert, which is available with a choice of wheelbases, transmissions and model grades. It currently represents just 1.3 per cent of sales in this segment, so we recently spent a week behind the wheel to see how it compares to the market leader.

2025 Volkswagen Tayron Summary

Changing the name of a popular model is a big risk for any car company. Don’t believe me? Ask Nissan Australia how much it enjoyed the switch from Pulsar to Tiida…

Volkswagen is the latest brand to change the name of a critical model, dropping Tiguan Allspace in favour of the new Tayron (pronounced tie-ron). But while the name is new, the fundamental concept behind the SUV is not. It’s essentially a stretched version of the Tiguan - albeit with a few design changes - with the option of two more seats in the back to make it a seven seater (or at least in theory).

That puts the Tayron in competition with a wide array of SUV rivals, including (but not limited to) the Toyota Kluger, Hyundai Santa Fe, Mazda CX-80 and Mitsubishi Outlander. So regardless of what Volkswagen calls it, it will need to be an impressive car to woo buyers in such a competitive segment of the market.
