The e-Rifter Allure runs purely on electricity with a 50 kWh usable battery under the floor. Official WLTP combined range reaches 340 km on the Standard Allure with consumption starting at 18.3 kWh/100 km. Long versions are a little less efficient. Three driving modes and paddle-selectable regeneration help manage energy use. DC rapid charging up to 100 kW is available.
Servicing is straightforward with no oil changes. The first check is due at one year or 20 000 km, then every two years or 40 000 km. The high-voltage battery is covered for eight years or 160 000 km to 70 % capacity. Cabin filter and brake fluid follow normal two-year intervals.
Safety kit is comprehensive from the Allure grade: multiple airbags, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping with active correction, traffic-sign recognition, driver-attention monitoring and rear sensors. The 2018 Euro NCAP score of four stars (91 % adult) still applies to the electric version but has expired under current protocols. Higher packs add adaptive cruise and blind-spot monitoring.
Day-to-day the car is simple to live with. Sliding doors, fold-flat seats and a tall load bay make loading easy. The heated steering wheel is standard. front seat heaters come in the optional winter pack. Range is modest for long trips so plan charging stops, but urban and family use suits it well.
