Peugeot PARTNER, RIFTER

Peugeot PARTNER, RIFTER are compact van-like models for people who need a car-shaped load carrier rather than a soft-roader. By our assessment, their strength is simple use of space: the tall body, sliding side doors and upright seating make them practical for family hauling, small business work and awkward cargo. The trade-off is just as plain, because they drive more like a van than a normal hatchback and the cabin is built around function before polish. In daily use that means easy access, good visibility and a layout that tolerates dirty boots, pushchairs or boxes without much fuss. Against crossovers they give up style and a bit of car comfort, but they offer more honest room and a more useful rear opening. Peugeot PARTNER, RIFTER fit people who care more about carrying and loading than about looking sporty.
