Peugeot Rifter 4x4 Concept revealed
Alongside production versions of its all-new Rifter van-based MPV, Peugeot will display the rugged-looking Rifter 4x4 Concept at next month’s Geneva Motor Show.
This unique edition has been engineered to cope with rough terrain. Accordingly, a Dangel part-time all-wheel drive system is fitted (a cost option for the showroom model, incidentally), the ride height is 80 mm (3.1”) higher and the 16” wheels are shod with BF Goodrich off-road tyres.
Two other features that add to the adventure vibe are found atop the vehicle. At the front there’s a 300W light strip containing 100 LEDs, while the roof bars support an Autohome Overland folding tent.
Another useful piece of equipment is a Peugeot eM02 FS Powertube, an electric mountain bike which is carried on a towball-mounted rack. Not having a pair of them seems like an omission, though.
Inside the Rifter, dark grey fabric and black alcantara upholstery incorporates bright yellow stitching to give some contrast. Brushed aluminium trim pieces on the centre console and door panels further help relieve an otherwise rather sombre ambience.
Powering the 4x4 Concept is a 1.5 litre BlueHDi diesel engine. It delivers 128 bhp (95 kW / 130 PS) and 300 Nm (221 lb/ft) of peak torque via a six-speed manual transmission.
