Peugeot RCZ 2013–2015 car dimensions: 4287 mm long, 1845 mm wide and 1359 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,297 kg. Braked towing is 500 kg.
Dual-zone automatic climate control and cruise control with speed limiter come standard. Rear parking sensors are fitted as standard, with front sensors available on higher grades. Bluetooth and USB connectivity are included, while a retractable colour navigation screen is offered on some trims. The cabin feels sporty with supportive seats but lacks modern smartphone integration or advanced driver aids.
Boot space measures 321 litres with the rear seats in place, expanding to 639 litres when folded. The large hatch provides decent access for a coupe, making it practical for weekend luggage despite the limited rear seats.
Towing is rated at 500 kg for both braked and unbraked trailers on most versions, though the R model is not approved for towing. Payload sits around 465 kg depending on the engine. This sports coupe is not designed for heavy work duties.
The cabin feels sporty with a low driving position and supportive front bucket seats that hold well on corners yet stay comfortable on long trips. Dual-zone climate control is standard across the range. Higher grades add electric multi-way front seats with driver memory and heating plus leather trim. Front space is ample for adults while the rear bench is tight and best for kids. An acoustic windscreen cuts road noise for a quieter ride. Materials and detailing give a premium feel with good ergonomics for controls.
Fuel economy ranges from about 5.3 l/100 km combined on the diesel to 6.4-7.3 l/100 km on petrols.
Service intervals typically every 20,000 miles or 20,000-30,000 km / 12 months depending on engine and conditions.
No Euro NCAP crash test rating for the RCZ.
Standard safety includes four airbags, ESP with traction control, ABS with EBD and EBA, active bonnet, hill start assist and rear ISOFIX.
Petrol versions return combined figures around 6.4 to 7.3 l/100 km with the diesel at 5.3 l/100 km. Real-world use settles after the first few thousand km. The range covers efficient turbo engines that balance performance and economy well for a coupe.
Servicing follows the maker schedule with oil and filter changes at set distances or yearly. Diesel versions factor in time as well as mileage. Regular checks keep the car reliable with filters and fluids on the list.
Safety kit is solid with dual front and side airbags, full ESP, braking aids and an active bonnet for pedestrians. Rear ISOFIX is fitted and the structure draws from the related 308 platform that scored highly. No dedicated crash test exists for this model.
Living with the RCZ means enjoying a practical boot of good size for the class that expands with the rear seats folded. Keep on top of services and tyre pressures for best results. The coupe is fun to drive daily with standard aids like cruise control and parking sensors on most grades.
