The 2019 Peugeot Rifter 1.5 BlueHDi 130bhp Allure is a masterclass in blending practicality with a dash of French charm, proving that utility doesn?t have to come at the expense of style. This seven-seater MPV may share its bones with the Peugeot Partner van, but the Rifter is no mere workhorse. It?s a thoughtfully designed family car with a focus on comfort, versatility, and efficiency., Under the bonnet, the 1.5-litre BlueHDi diesel engine delivers a respectable 130bhp, paired seamlessly with Peugeot?s EAT8 eight-speed automatic gearbox. The combination feels effortless on the road, whether you?re navigating urban traffic or cruising on the motorway. The powertrain is smooth, refined, and responsive, with enough grunt to handle a fully loaded cabin without breaking a sweat. Plus, the frugality of the BlueHDi engine ensures that your fuel stops will be infrequent?a welcome trait for family adventures., Step inside, and the Allure trim ensures the Rifter punches above its weight in terms of features. There?s a clean, modern dashboard anchored by Peugeot?s i-Cockpit, which features a small steering wheel and elevated digital display. The layout takes some getting used to, but it quickly becomes second nature, adding a sense of fun to the driving experience. Space is abundant, with clever storage compartments throughout and seating that can be configured to suit a variety of needs. The sliding rear doors are a stroke of genius, particularly in tight parking spaces., On the road, the Rifter strikes a fine balance between comfort and control. The suspension soaks up imperfections with ease, while its raised driving position provides excellent visibility. It might not set your heart racing, but as a capable, family-friendly companion, the Rifter makes a strong case for itself. Add in its sharp, SUV-inspired looks and Peugeot?s reputation for safety tech, and the Rifter Allure emerges as a standout choice for those who need space and flexibility without sacrificing style.
