Although designed in the shape of a van, the suspensions and brakes are powerful enough to handle the shocks on uneven roads, hilly terrain or blocked pathways. One can handle and change the gears easily and experience a charismatic test drive before making the purchase.
PROS: Spacious interior makes it ideal for medium and large sized families especially when considered alongside the affordable price and high level of internal features.
CONS: Engine noise is high and some safety and security features which are expected are missing.
The presence of powerful engines with the start–stop system along with the easy-to-handle gears results in good performance of the car. This also makes it easy to take speedy turns with ease and the economical running cost makes it ideal for families.
Travelling from 0-62 mph is achieved in 16 seconds with a top speed of 99 mph. The Peugeot S 1.3 HDi 75 comes with a four cylinder 1.3-litre petrol engine that delivers 75 bhp.
The easy manoeuvrability lets the driver make moves and turns easily and quickly on fast lanes provided they are well skilled with the use of gears. Available in different models with different colours, this caters to the different taste and temperament of car lovers.
The suspension and shock absorbers make it a passenger friendly car but there is much scope for improvement in the cabin. The exterior shape is very much like that of a van, and inside the vehicle cheap looking plastics are used.
Standard features include central locking, power steering, stability control, electric front windows, electric door mirrors and a stereo sysetem with CD player.
MP3 connectivity is not available as an option whilst other features such as rear parking sensors and air conditioning can be added at an additional cost - £210 and £560 respectively in these instances.
So far as the safety and security is concerned the car stands true to the international safety standards. With the presence of lateral airbags, an immobiliser and central locking systems the car provides adequate safety to the occupants. However, some features such as an alarm and rear parking sensors incur additional costs and as such standard equipment is left lacking.
The long lasting durability of the Bipper Tepee makes it ideal for families and the car comes with standard warranty to offer protection in case any problems do arise. This gives owners the peace of mind which they need and is a huge benefit.
In terms of practicality, the cabin makes good use of space and this gives the car strong credentials in this area. The boot offers a decent capacity regardless of whether the rear seats are in place or not. With them in position the capacity totals 356 litres which is more than sufficient for average use whilst folding the seats down will expand this to 884 litres.
This model is the most affordable Peugeot Bipper Tepee in the range.
Available for £12,495 the car offers the maximum value to the customers through manageable running costs. Fuel efficiency totals 65.6 mpg on a combined cycle whilst road tax falls under band C due to strong green credentials and CO2 emissions of just 119 g/km.
The only drawback is the compromise on internal features but upgrading to a different trim level could potentially address this concern. Overall the model represents good value for money.
