Model guide

Peugeot Rifter overview

Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.

Design

The exterior redesign brings a fresh look to the Rifter's front end, highlighted by a new grille design, the latest Peugeot emblem, and headlamps styled to resemble claw marks. To preserve its rugged utility character, the vehicle features high ground clearance, prominent protective body cladding, and wheel arch extensions. Buyers can choose between the 4.4-meter L1 version with a 2.785-meter wheelbase and the larger 4.75-meter L2 version, which extends the wheelbase to 2.975 meters. Wheel options include 16-inch steel wheels with newly styled center caps, maintaining a focus on durability.

Interior

Inside, the updated cabin features a modernized dashboard layout centered around a 10-inch horizontal touchscreen infotainment display and a digital instrument cluster. Ergonomic updates include a redesigned steering wheel and refreshed upholstery options that improve comfort. The interior layout is highly configurable, offering five seats in the standard L1 body, and a choice of five or seven seats in the longer L2 configuration. High-tier trims gain dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a wireless smartphone charger, and a 220V power outlet.

Performance

Power is delivered exclusively by a 1.5-liter BlueHDi four-cylinder turbodiesel engine, available in two states of tune. The entry-level variant produces 102 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The more powerful version delivers 130 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission manufactured by Aisin. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 11.1 seconds for the 130-hp version, reaching a top speed of 184 km/h, while the 102-hp variant covers the sprint in 13.4 seconds with a top speed of 172 km/h.

Practicality

Practicality is a core strength of the Rifter. The standard L1 body style provides 775 liters of trunk space, which expands significantly to 1,050 liters in the L2 version. Features like dual sliding side doors (or a single sliding door depending on trim level), a 1/3 to 2/3 folding rear bench, and ISOFIX child seat anchorages make it well-suited for family duties or cargo transport. Under-engine protection and hill-start assist add to its everyday versatility across varying road conditions.

Safety and tech

Technology updates include a standard digital cockpit, a 10-inch infotainment screen supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity. Safety features vary by trim, with the base Active Pack offering electronic stability control, cruise control, a speed limiter, and dual front airbags. Upgrading to the Allure trim adds side airbags, rear parking sensors, a high-definition rearview camera, keyless entry and start, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, and integrated navigation.

Buyer notes

When choosing a Peugeot Rifter, buyers should first decide between the L1 and L2 lengths, as the latter is required for the optional seven-seat configuration and offers vastly superior cargo volume. The base Active Pack trim covers essential safety and comfort features, but those seeking modern amenities like dual-zone climate control, keyless start, and advanced smartphone integration will find the Allure trim more appealing. The 8-speed automatic transmission is only available with the more powerful 130-hp engine, making it the preferred choice for highway cruising.
