Peugeot Rifter

Similar to the other Peugeot vehicles, the Rifter features the i-Cockpit interior design. It has a well-thought-out and comfortable cabin. High-mounted controls and low-set, small steering wheel may not appeal to everyone. The height-adjustable seats are very comfortable and don't cause fatigue during long drives. The steering wheel has a nice grip. 

The dashboard is visually appealing and robust. It has been laid out smartly, allowing the drivers to find all the controls and use them effortlessly. The overall design of the dashboard is very user-friendly, adding to the convenience of the drivers while operating the vehicle. 

Peugeot Rifter adopts the strong styling of an SUV. With its elegant lines and distinctive contours, it commands attention wherever it goes. The vertical grille enhances its dynamic silhouette. It looks elegant, powerful, and agile. 

The Peugeot Rifter challenges the conventional notion that you need to compromise on the style when looking for a vehicle that seamlessly blends the load capacity of a small van with passenger-carrying versatility. The rugged styling elements elevate its overall appeal, creating a harmonious blend of SUV-inspired desirability and practicality that makes a bold statement on the onlookers. 

It exudes a modern and trendy style statement and meets all your practical needs. It embodies a rich legacy and stands as an icon of the brand. Its rear lights make a bold statement. With a stylish and confident demeanor, it exhibits PEUGEOT's design philosophy and exudes the perfect blend of heritage and modernity.

The Peugeot Rifter is available in different diesel engine options, having varying power outputs. The base version is a bit underpowered and feels sluggish when the vehicle is loaded fully. For spirited performance, you can choose the 99 bhp version. 

Driving aids like emergency brake assist, speed regulation, and cruise control help you take on your journey comfortably. It can be challenging to manually use the paddles that are placed behind the steering wheel. The best thing about Rifter is that it is very silent, and you can hear slight wind noise at high speed. The refinement of this vehicle is quite impressive. It has a fairly direct steering system, all thanks to the brand's decision to adopt a small steering wheel. This setup offers an agile and responsive steering feel. The suspension has been designed keeping in mind ample ground clearance and longer travel. It can easily handle city potholes and broken pavements. However, when encountering potholes, bumps, or other irregularities, the suspension makes a weird noise. The vehicle also has a noticeable body roll.

The Peugeot Rifter features a 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine generating a maximum power of 92 PS and 230 Nm peak torque. The engine combines economy and performance. You can equip the vehicle with the BlueHDi 92 5-speed manual available as a low fuel consumption variant to guarantee an unparalleled driving experience and optimum efficiency. The motor of the vehicle is mated with a 5-speed manual transmission. 

The Peugeot Rifter is equipped with many active safety systems, such as automatic emergency braking, cruise control, and lane departure warning. It features various driving aids such as emergency brake assist, speed regulation, and cruise control. Cruise control can be a valuable feature for relaxed highway driving, and speed regulation can help you drive at a consistent speed, leading to better fuel efficiency. But the poor pedestrian protection score has made it receive only a four-star EuroNCAP rating. An alarm is only available as an extra, which can be a bit frustrating as it is an important feature that protects against intrusions and thefts.

If you're looking for a family car that offers you tons of practicality and comfort, the Peugeot Rifter can be your ideal choice. The cabin is airy and bright with premium touches like the i-Cockpit setup. But if you prioritize style over practicality, the Peugeot Rifter will disappoint you.
