Tepee Overview:
Peugeot Bipper (Tepee). With 190 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It boasts low fuel consumption (~5.7 l/100km). Weighing only 1185 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 16.6 s). The top speed reaches 152 km/h. A spacious vehicle designed to transport passengers comfortably, often with sliding doors. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Bipper Tepee (based on its platform sibling, the Fiat Qubo) received a modest 3-star Euro NCAP rating in 2010, indicating average protection for adult occupants and areas for improvement in overall safety standards compared to more modern vehicles.
1.3 HDi (75 Hp) FAP Verdict:
