Peugeot e-Rifter Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons

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 value space, practicality and easy access over the fashion-led appeal of an SUV. First introduced in 2018, it became the only option for private car buyers when Peugeot dropped all combustion-engined versions from the UK range in 2022, making it one of the first family MPVs to go fully electric. The e-Rifter uses a 136bhp electric motor paired with a 52kWh battery, delivering an official range of 199 miles. It's offered in two body lengths: the Standard model with five seats, and the Long version with up to seven seats, both supporting rapid charging with a 0-80% top-up taking around 38 minutes.

Few cars are as practical as the e-Rifter, with excellent passenger space, sliding rear doors for easy access, and a large boot offering up to 700 litres with five seats or 1,050 litres with the third row removed. The electric drivetrain excels in towns and cities, with light steering and excellent visibility making low-speed manoeuvres effortless. However, the boxy shape means motorway efficiency isn't great, and real-world range is considerably less than the official 199 miles. Company car drivers will appreciate the low Benefit-in-Kind rate of just 3%, whilst servicing costs are reduced thanks to 25,000-mile intervals. The e-Rifter is best viewed as a relaxed, urban-friendly MPV for families prioritising practicality and low running costs over driving dynamics.

Best for: Families seeking a zero-emissions MPV for the school run, those prioritising space and practicality over style, and company car drivers looking for low Benefit-in-Kind rates.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a glamorous or sporty driving experience, those requiring petrol or diesel options, or drivers covering long motorway distances regularly.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the e-Rifter if: You're a family seeking a zero-emissions MPV for the school run, prioritising space and practicality over style, or a company car driver looking for low Benefit-in-Kind rates.

Consider alternatives if: You seek a glamorous or sporty driving experience, require petrol or diesel options, or cover long motorway distances regularly.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot e-Rifter is a strong contender in the electric MPV market, offering excellent practicality, versatility and value for money. Whilst the Citroen Berlingo edges ahead with a higher overall rating and user satisfaction, the e-Rifter's electric credentials, low running costs and seven-seat flexibility make it an outstanding choice for environmentally conscious families. The Dacia Jogger offers budget appeal but lacks the refinement and electric option, whilst the Ford Tourneo Connect provides a petrol alternative but with less practicality. For families committed to zero-emissions motoring without compromising on space, the e-Rifter is one of the most sensible EVs available.
