For A smoth and torquey engine and long gearing combine to make a brilliant and frugal long-dystance cruiser – and of course it has those looks.

Against A little more cumbersome than other RCZs in the bends because of the extra weight of this engine (over the petrol units) in the nose.

3 out of 5 stars

Not the RCZ we’d choose given a free hand, but it has appeal for long-distance drivers who like the idea of infrequent fuel stops.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

More and more manufacturers are offering personalisation options and Peugeot hasn't missed the chance to make some more cash from Peugeot RCZ customers.

On top of the usual metallic paint option, you can dress the exterior of your RCZ with three sets of body stickers, six types of alloys, three colour options for the roof rails, a smoked or chrome grille, extended sideskirts and colour-coded brake calipers.

There’s also an optional carbonfibre finish for the roof. This doesn’t replace the conventional steel roof, instead it simply sits on top of it, adding extra weight – plus £1330 to the bill.

Additionally, you can choose to add sat-nav a JBL stereo upgrade and a full leather interior. The smaller sports steering and leather bound gearlever that are standard on the 200THP model can also be added to lower-spec Sport models.
