Peugeot e-Rifter Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Large and very versatile cabin	Forgettable driving experience
Long model has space for seven	Lacks the image and style of an SUV
Excellent value for money	Diesel and petrol versions no longer available

Quick Summary

The Peugeot e-Rifter is an electric MPV designed for families who prioritise space, practicality, and easy access over the fashion-led appeal of an SUV. Introduced in 2018 as the Rifter, it became electric-only for private buyers in the UK from 2022. It features a 136bhp electric motor and 52kWh battery, offering an official range of 199 miles, with rapid charging capability. Available in Standard (five-seat) and Long (seven-seat) versions, it stands out against rivals like the Citroen e-Berlingo and Vauxhall Combo Life Electric.

This car excels in practicality, boasting excellent passenger space, sliding rear doors, and a massive boot (up to 3,500 litres in the Long version with seats folded). Its driving experience is best suited to urban environments, where its light steering, good visibility, and brisk electric acceleration shine. While motorway efficiency and range are modest, the e-Rifter offers low running costs, especially with home charging and a favourable Benefit-in-Kind rate for company car drivers. It comes well-equipped with a 10-inch i-Connect touchscreen and comprehensive driver assistance systems.

Best for: Families valuing space, practicality, and easy access; those seeking a zero-emissions MPV for urban/school run driving; company car drivers due to low BiK; buyers focused on low running costs.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising glamorous SUV styling or sporty driving dynamics; those expecting a long electric range at motorway speeds.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Peugeot e-Rifter if: You're a family valuing space, practicality, and easy access; you seek a zero-emissions MPV for urban/school run driving; you're a company car driver looking for low BiK; or you prioritise low running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise glamorous SUV styling or sporty driving dynamics, or expect a long electric range at motorway speeds.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot e-Rifter (2022-present) is a highly practical and sensible electric MPV in the market. It excels in offering extensive space, flexibility, and low running costs, especially for urban and family use. While its electric range is modest and driving dynamics are not sporty, its focus on utility, ease of access (sliding doors), and zero-emissions capability makes it a compelling choice for families prioritising function over form, and an excellent alternative to SUVs.
