Peugeot Bipper Tepee Estate

We say Plenty of space in the boxy rear and love-it or hate-it styling. However, it is based on a van and this shines through.Performance Just the two engines.

We say Plenty of space in the boxy rear and love-it or hate-it styling. However, it is based on a van and this shines through.Performance Just the two engines. 1.4 petrol is fine for a runaround but the 1.4 HDi offers more performance. Both do the job without ever thrilling.Emissions Choose the diesel for fuel economy over 65mpg. The 75bhp version delivers 113g/km which means free first year road tax (Band B).Driving Box-like dimensions cause body roll and the engines will struggle at higher speeds, but responsive steering is ideal for nipping around town.Feel The Peugeot Bipper Tepee can be a bit jittery at high speeds and wind noise does pick up quite a bit.Space The Bipper Tepee has lots of room in the back and the high roof ensures there’s enough head room. It makes good use of space considering its small dimensions. Roof bars add a little extra practicality.Equipment Entry equipment is very basic and you’ll have to shell out more for air-con. Higher trim levels are fine but can get expensive.Price The Peugeot Bipper Tepee offers low running costs and reasonable starting price, but equipment levels could be better.Quality Solid but drab, the Bipper Tepee’s van origins are evident in the build. Don’t expect many bells and whistles but reliability should be ok.Safety No stability control is a surprise and a little outdated with modern cars. Front and side airbags are offered as standard.Pros The Bipper Tepee is practical, has two good engines for town driving and its styling will be a plus point for some. It does the job is was built for easily.Cons Van-based, and this shows in the trim and low equipment levels. The drive can often be jittery at high speeds and wind noise is obtrusive.Alternatives Citroen Berlingo Multispace, Nissan Note, Vauxhall Meriva.
