Overall Rating
Peugeot Rifter:
The Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner are a range of minivans produced since 1996 and marketed under the Citroën and Peugeot marque. They are sold as light commercial vehicles or as a passenger multi-purpose-vehicle variant with rear seats and windows. They were initially a product of the French PSA Group, which later became part of the multinational Stellantis conglomerate. The third generation has also been sold under the Opel and Vauxhall Motors marques as the Combo, by Toyota as the Proace City from 2019, and by Fiat as the Doblò from 2022....(Read more on Wikipedia)
L2 Overview:
Peugeot Rifter (L2). With 205 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1515 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 12.3 s). The top speed reaches 174 km/h. A spacious vehicle designed to transport passengers comfortably, often with sliding doors. With seating for 7, it’s perfect for larger families.
The Rifter (tested as the standard wheelbase) achieved a commendable 4-star Euro NCAP rating in 2018, demonstrating strong adult occupant protection and a good suite of safety assist systems for its segment.
1.2 PureTech (110 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Offers a smoother, quieter operation than the diesel, with slightly better acceleration (12.3 sec 0-100km/h) suitable for mixed driving conditions.

Reasonable for a petrol engine in this class, though not as frugal as the diesels. Good for those with lower annual mileage.
