In line with other Peugeot offerings such as the e-2008 and the e-Traveller, the e-Rifter is an electric-powered version of a petrol/diesel classic. This smart people carrier, which fits up to seven passengers, offers outstanding storage and low running costs. It’s a great choice if you’re looking to lease a large EV for business or personal use.

Additionally, business customers will pay bargain-basement Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax rates when they lease the Peugeot e-Rifter.

Key highlights

The e-Rifter is a simple and accessible car for drivers who value space and practicality. Whether you want to ferry your family around town, deliver goods for your business, or provide transport for your work team, the spacious interior will make sure everyone travels safely and in comfort.

This might be a utilitarian EV, but it has a touch of style, too. The Rifter’s design and contours set it apart from the standard van. It’s also nicely robust, with an increased ground clearance that should take the danger out of potholes and other minor urban hazards. 

Performance & range

As you’d expect from a family-friendly people carrier, the e-Rifter is about steadiness and storage over speed. With a 50 kWh battery and 136 hp, it can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in about 11 seconds and has a top speed of 83 mph. The e-Rifter can go up to 171 miles on a single charge. Using rapid charging, the battery can be replenished to 80% in just 30 minutes.

Peugeot’s dedicated user app adds an extra layer of convenience, allowing you to set the cabin temperature and check your car’s battery status from your phone. All in all, the e-Rifter is a top choice for drivers who need a lot from their vehicle, day in, day out.
