Looks: Practical with Character

The Rifter wears its purpose on its sleeve — tall, boxy proportions and a high roof make the silhouette unmistakably utilitarian, yet Peugeot softens the edges with a friendly front end and signature LED elements. Length choices for L1 and L2 (around 4.4m and 4.75m) mean it can sit neatly in a family driveway or offer extra load space without looking like a commercial van. Road presence is honest rather than flashy, which suits buyers who want function first but don't want to drive something that screams “toolbox.” Practical touches like sliding side doors and a high rear opening complete the sensible-yet-stylish package.

Cabin: Durable, Straightforward, and Clever

The interior prioritises usability with robust plastics where they count and smarter finishes on touch points so it doesn’t feel like a basic work van. Seating layouts are flexible — available in 5- or 7-seat configurations — and storage is generous with cubbies, under-seat trays and easy-to-clean surfaces for family life or weekend kit. Controls are logical and the infotainment is modern enough for daily use without overcomplication, although top trims add nicer materials and a more premium feel. Visibility is excellent thanks to the high seating position and large windows, which makes city driving and parking less stressful.

Space: Packs More Than It Looks

Boot space is a key strength: expect around 775–1,050 litres with the rear seats in place and up to roughly 3,000–3,500 litres with seats folded, so bicycles, prams or flat-packed furniture are all achievable with the right layout. The L2 long-wheelbase variant increases load length and rear-seat legroom, which is useful for families or tradespeople who need extra capacity. Payload figures vary by version, but the Rifter is built to carry real loads rather than just soft shopping trips. Practical details like tie-down points, reversible floor mats and configurable seating make everyday loading and cleaning straightforward.

On the Road: Comfortable, Predictable, and Calm

Ride comfort is prioritised over sporty handling: suspension soaks up bumps well and isolation from road noise is respectable for this vehicle class, though it never feels like a compact hatchback in corners. Steering is light and predictable, which helps in town but leaves the car feeling detached at higher speeds; body roll is noticeable when pushed. Performance is adequate rather than exciting — expect relaxed acceleration with diesel variants and a slightly livelier feel from the electric e-Rifter in day-to-day driving. Overall the Rifter is more about steady confidence and usability than driving thrills.

Powertrains: Two Clear Paths — Electric or Diesel

Peugeot offers a fully electric e-Rifter with 136 hp and WLTP figures around 328–339 km of range and consumption in the high teens (~18–19 kWh/100 km), which suits most urban and mixed-use buyers who can recharge regularly. The conventional route uses the 1.5 BlueHDi diesel in 102 or 130 hp tunes with combined consumption roughly 5.6–6.0 L/100 km, making long-distance efficiency and towing practicality its strong points. Acceleration times sit in the 11–13 second range 0–100 km/h depending on the version, so motorway overtakes are safe but not brisk. Choice comes down to mission: short daily runs and lower running cost per kilometre favour the electric model, while those who cover heavy miles or need greater payload flexibility may prefer diesel.

Gadgets & Assistance: Useful, Not Overwhelming

Tech fits the brief: a touchscreen with smartphone mirroring, practical driver aids like emergency braking and lane-keeping assistance, plus parking sensors and camera options that make urban manoeuvres easier. The menu systems are generally intuitive and physical buttons remain for frequently used functions, which is handy when driving with wet or muddy hands. Higher trims add comfort and convenience features that close the gap to family SUVs without adding unnecessary complexity. Safety kit is comprehensive enough for modern expectations, keeping occupants and cargo well protected.

Who Should Buy It?

The Rifter is aimed at buyers who need a genuinely practical vehicle — families, dog owners, small business operators or outdoor enthusiasts — who want a car-like driving position and more versatility than an estate or compact SUV. Those who prioritise low running costs and easy city use will like the e-Rifter’s 136 hp electric setup and WLTP range, while high-mileage drivers and payload-focused customers will find the 1.5 BlueHDi diesels economical and durable. If usable space, easy access and straightforward functionality matter more than sportiness or premium flair, the Rifter is a strong, sensible choice.
