"The Peugeot RCZ is a seriously stylish coupe that offers a great driving experience and reasonable operating costs."
One of the most distinctive-looking cars on the market today, the Peugeot RCZ could almost be forgiven if they some were not exhilarating to drive or run expensive. Fortunately ensures the RCZ appearance with hatchback-like operating costs and a truly involvement driving experience. After six years in the sale, it begins his age to feel something, but it's still a credible (though a bit left field) alternative to the Audi TT, BMW 2 Series and Volkswagen Scirocco, while Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ customers can also be , tempted by the many charms of the RCZ.
Peugeot RCZ offers a 1.6-liter petrol engine, available with 156 or 0 hp and a 163bhp diesel. There is also a high-performance 266bhp version, the Peugeot RCZ R mentioned that we have reviewed separately.

The entry 156bhp petrol engine offers reasonable and not unreasonable performance, with a 0-62mph time of 8.3 seconds. The engine responds well to tours, but, and it is never less than entertaining to drive. The fuel consumption of 44.1mpg and an annual road tax bill of £ 145 are good for a petrol-engined sports coupe, even though an entry-level (though still expensive) Audi TT provides slightly better efficiency. If you choose the 0bhp petrol engine, which decreases 0-62mph time to 7.6 seconds, while economy shrinks to 42.2mpg and road tax rises a band, to £ 185 per year.
In the past, a diesel-engined coupe was something of a contradiction in terms. The recent advances in diesel technology, but most manufacturers mean now offer this combination. The 2.0-liter diesel RCZ is the slowest model on paper, with a 0-62 time of 8.7 seconds, but it has not as hard as the fuel to operate and is more relaxing to drive - although probably misses the point anything from sports coupe possession.
Nevertheless, the 54.3mpg of the diesel engine and £ 110 road tax bill to make the most affordable model then to run, and if you do more miles than most, it is easy to recommend. All RCZs are a six-speed gearbox as standard with the 156bhp petrol engine available as an automatic - but that makes the RCZ slower and more expensive to run

Whichever engine you choose, the Peugeot RCZ is to drive a big car. There are a lot of grip on the front wheels and plenty of "feel" through the steering wheel, while the body is slim minimal when curves and the RCZ feels every inch a sports car. The BMW 2 Series and Toyota 86 are somewhat appealing thanks go to its rear-wheel drive design, but the RCZ is has one of the best driving cars Peugeot ever made.
The only slightly disappointing aspect of the RCZ is the interior, where his age is most evident. There is nothing unpleasant about it and it feels quite well put together, but things have evolved slightly since the RCZ has been designed. Not only that, the Audi TT offer a far superior instrument panel, but Peugeot's 208 GTi has a better interior cheaper spite.
you can do to get an adequate amount of standard equipment, but. Entry-level Sport trim includes 18-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, rear parking sensors, automatic lights and wipers, Bluetooth phone connectivity. Moving to GT trim adds all-round parking sensors, larger alloy wheels and electrically adjustable heated leather seats. The 0bhp petrol engine gets its own trim, called GT Line, which adds a navigation system and xenon headlights, while the Special Edition Red Carbon Model nav and red trim details includes sat.
While nobody buying a car like the Peugeot RCZ with outright practicality in mind, its 309-liter boot is quite large. Passenger benefit from comfortable seats and an appropriately sporty, low-slung driving position so that if some riders it difficult to get comfortable, as the pedals are too high. The rear seats are narrow and most sit as an emergency transport for adults, while older children can in the back asked resent.
come in terms of reliability, relatively well the RCZ in our 2016 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey has, 65 of 150 cars. A 84th-place for reliability can be average at best, but for a relatively old model, the RCZ is a good performance. The RCZ is large enough numbers not built to have tested by Euro NCAP crash test, but Peugeot takes a reassuringly rigorous approach to safety, awarded many of its cars the full five stars.
