The Bipper is designed for professionals looking for a vehicle which is easy to drive and can be parked easily. Thanks to the asymmetric hinged rear doors and sliding side doors, the Bipper is also very easy to load and unload, even in the narrowest of spaces.
It is available with a choice of two engines. A 1.4 litre petrol engine developing power of 75 bhp or a 1.4 litre HDi diesel engine developing 70 bhp and emitting only 119 g of CO2 per km. The HDi diesel engine is also available with an optional electronically controlled manual gearbox, the first time this type of gearbox has been available on a Peugeot light commercial vehicle and this offers greater convenience to drivers using the vehicle in busy urban areas.
For professionals who spend many hours in their van, this gearbox will be a huge benefit to them in terms of reduced driving fatigue and reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
When equipped with roof bars, its height is only 1.78 m, enabling it to use underground car parks without any problems. Fitted with roof bars and a roof rack, the Bipper can also carry a load of up to 100 kg on its roof.
Inside, the cube-like load area has been designed to offer a generous usable space. The effective floor load length is 1.52 m, with a maximum interior height of 1.18 m. The width between the wheel arches is 1.05 m, giving a total usable volume of 2.5 m³.
Thanks to an innovative folding multifunction passenger seat, it is possible to increase the load capacity even further by using the space normally occupied by the seat.
Inside, comfort and convenience take pride of place. Modern, bright and functional, the interior has been designed to be easy to use. It is robust and comprehensive with a four dial instrument panel, a multifunction display, warning lights and a centre console. The latter also houses the ventilation or air conditioning controls, the radio and the hands-free phone kit, depending on which options are chosen.
