The Peugeot Partner Mk1, introduced in 1996, was a pioneering compact van that blurred the line between commercial utility and passenger comfort. Designed as a small panel van, it also came in a leisure activity vehicle (LAV) version. Built on a car-like platform (shared with the Citroën Berlingo), the Partner Mk1 offered car-like handling and ride comfort, a rarity for vans of its time. It was produced from 1996 to 2013 with an interior facelift in 2002.

No fascia is required to fit an aftermarket radio as the dash will only fit a single DIN radio.
