Peugeot Rifter 4x4

Clearly following the overland trend, French automakers Peugeot have unveiled the Rifter 4x4, a car based on the Rifter people-mover but built and equipped for off-roading and overlanding. Finished in an eye-catching dark grey color scheme with matte yellow accents, the front-wheel drive all-in-one off-road and camping companion has been lifted to a high ride height of 80 mm, and is outfitted with an Overland roof tent, 16-inch wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich all-terrain tires, yellow front fog lights, and a 300W curved 100 LED lights strip. There is also a Peugeot eM02 FS Powertube electric mountain bike to take you where the Rifter 4×4 can´t. As for power, it uses a 1.5 BlueHDi 130 hp with six-speed manual gearbox and 300 Nm of torque.
