Peugeot has launched its fully-electric e-Rifter, offering a range of 171 miles and a choice of five- or seven-seat configurations.

It has a towing capacity of up to 750kg and up to 4,000 litres of boot space.

Julie David, managing director of Peugeot UK, said: “The new e-Rifter is our latest electric model and is one step closer to fulfilling our promise of offering an electrified variant across our entire model line-up by 2023.”

The e-Rifter is fitted with a standard 7.4kW charger and is available with an optional 11kW three-phase charger.

It can be charged using wallbox or 100kW rapid charging. A full charge from a 7.4kW wallbox will take 7.5 hours, or five hours using the optional 11kW charger.

Supporting rapid charging, a 0-80% charge can be completed in 30 minutes using a 100kWh rapid charger.

The e-Rifter comes with three driving modes and two regenerative braking modes to optimise battery range and vehicle performance.

It will be available in standard and long variants, while the 50kW lithium-ion battery is located underneath the floor, meaning there is no impact on boot or cabin space.

E-Rifter will be available in a choice of two trims:

• Allure Premium models come standard with PEUGEOT’s i-Cockpit® digital with a 8-inch central touchscreen, Roof Rails, VisioPark 1 (including Rear Parking Sensors and 180° coloured rear camera), opening rear window and 16-inch aluminium wheels.
• GT models come with 17-inch aluminium wheels, bespoke GT styling elements, individual rear seats, and PEUGEOT Open and Go.
