Peugeot e-Rifter debuts with a big sunroof, electric engine

Following the announcement in late 2020, the e-Rifter van is now officially introduced with specs; shipments in Europe will begin this summer or fall.

The EV has the same base tech as the e-Partner, including a single motor rated at 136 PS (134 hp / 100 kW) and 260 Nm (192 lb-ft) of torque. Its 50-kWh battery grants it up to 280 km (129 miles) of range. Sprinting from zero to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes 11.2 seconds, and the top speed lies at 130 km/h (81 mph).

The interior is styled differently from that of the e-Partner model. Digital dashboard is a paid option, and the center console houses regenerative brake controls, a drive mode selector, and a forward/reverse mode button.

Other noteworthy features include a rear window that you can open and a giant panoramic sunroof with a power screen.

Safety aids include trailer stability control, driver’s drowsiness alert, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and automatic high beam.
