Peugeot RCZ HDi 163 GT: Test Drive Review

Date: 12 September 2013

P11D: £25,830

Peugeot has facelifted its RCZ coupe, making the Audi TT wannabe even more attractive by restyling the previously gaping face and changing to a more subtle air intake and grille arrangement.

That's the main change to the RCZ, and it comes less than three years after the car's launch in the UK. The engine line-up remains the same, which means the 163hp 2.0-litre HDi unit is still the most fleet-friendly. Offering an official 139g/km and 53.2mpg, the diesel is a good fit, providing ample performance yet plenty of refinement.

Peugeot has also upgraded the RCZ's specification, with the acoustic windscreen now standard along with the visibility pack that includes automatic lights and wipers and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

The RCZ is a real head-turner - the facelifted version even more so - yet is still practical for a car of this type, and performs extremely well for the emissions.
