Peugeot e-Rifter (2018-Present) 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 practicality and space over the fashion-led appeal of an SUV. Available exclusively as an electric vehicle in the UK since 2022, it offers huge interior space, easy access via sliding rear doors, and is available in a five-seat Standard or seven-seat Long version. All models use a 136bhp electric motor and a 52kWh battery, delivering an official range of 199 miles and supporting rapid charging for longer journeys.

The e-Rifter’s driving experience is best suited to urban environments, where its light steering and excellent visibility make it easy to handle. However, its real-world electric range is significantly reduced at motorway speeds, and the ride can feel unsettled on bumpy roads. Low running costs are a major advantage due to cheap home charging and low company car tax rates. While the drive is forgettable, its fuss-free, practical nature and well-equipped cabin make it a highly sensible choice for city-based family life.

Best for: Families needing maximum space and practicality, drivers seeking a zero-emissions MPV for urban use, and company car drivers looking to minimise tax.

Not ideal for: Buyers who prioritise SUV styling, need a long electric range for motorways, or want an engaging driving experience.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the e-Rifter if: You are a family driver prioritising practicality, space, and low running costs for urban journeys over style or driving fun.

Consider alternatives if: You frequently drive long distances on the motorway, desire a more stylish vehicle, or seek a more dynamic driving experience.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot e-Rifter is a hugely convincing electric MPV, offering unmatched practicality and flexibility for its class. While its electric range and uninspiring drive are drawbacks, its spacious, well-equipped cabin and low running costs make it one of the most sensible family EVs you can buy, especially for those whose lives are centred around town.
