Peugeot showed the updated Rifter and E-Rifter: what are the innovations

The new E-Rifter now features a redesigned design and new Peugeot logos.

As part of Peugeot's global electrification strategy, the new E-Rifter becomes even more efficient thanks to an increased range, which now reaches up to 320 km.

At the same time, the new Peugeot E-Rifter retains and improves all the key qualities that have made it successful and popular with customers: ride comfort, spacious interior and modular passenger space, high-tech equipment and attractive appearance.

The electric vein retains its recognizable “muscular”, solid, confident design. After restyling, the car received a new front part of the “radiator grille” with a central placement of the new Peugeot logo, which is additionally emphasized by a “light signature” with three claw lines.

The distinctive rugged style is enhanced by new colours: vibrant Sirkka Green and rich Kiama Blue.. The new product also received a completely new front panel, built on the Peugeot i-Cockpit® concept and offers a completely new 10-inch HD touch screen.

The Peugeot E-Rifter electric car is offered in two body lengths – standard (4.4 m) or extended (4.7 m); and also in two options for the number of seats in the cabin (5 or 7 seats). The extended body version features a longer wheelbase and rear overhang.

The batteries of the Peugeot E-Rifter electric van are located under the floor and do not affect the useful internal volume. That is why the luggage compartment can offer a useful volume of 775 liters (loading under the shelf for the 5-seater version with a standard body length) and up to 4,000 liters (loading under the roof with the seats folded for the long version).

Specifications:

Autonomous range – up to 320 km on one battery charge. Work on the overall efficiency of the electric van has made it possible to maintain the same level of power, dynamics, speed – acceleration 0-100 km/h in 11.2 seconds and a top speed of up to 135 km/h – while at the same time significantly improving the range that is now up to 320 km (combined WLTP cycle). Ample power that can be customized to suit one of three driving modes. The Peugeot E-Rifter offers an electric motor with a maximum power of 100 kW (136 hp) and a maximum torque of 270 Nm. New braking energy recovery system. To optimize and increase the range, the Peugeot E-Rifter has a regenerative braking system that allows you to choose from three levels of operating intensity; control is carried out using paddles located behind the steering wheel. The new Peugeot E-Rifter can now be equipped with a heat pump (depending on country), improving thermal comfort for passengers while helping to optimize energy efficiency and increase range.

Ukrainian buyers can also expect an update to the Peugeot Rifter. For our market, versions with internal combustion engines and electric drive will be offered. The presentation of the Peugeot Rifter and Peugeot E-Rifter in Ukraine is expected in the second quarter of 2024.
