New Bipper Tepee launched

Where on earth did Peugeot get the
name? Well, I suppose it has to be admitted they are new to names.
(Until now Peugeots have simply had a number.) But Bipper Tepee.
Well it is... unforgettable!
The Bipper Tepee is what Peugeot calls “a multi-space family vehicle”, basically it is a spacious, practical small family car with some of the versatility of an MPV. It’s not a new concept, there are loads of them around. Recent ones I have driven have have featured include the Citroen C3 Picasso, the Fiat qubic, the Kia Soul, but there are many others. (Indeed, as is the way in these cross-company collaboration days, you may notice more than a passing resemblance to the Fiat and also to the Citroen Nemo Multispace)
The Bipper Tepee (I just like saying that) packs five seats and good load space (884 litres) into its 3.96 metres length. With low emissions the 70 bhp 1.4-litre HDi Bipper Tepee costs just £35 to tax and returns a combined fuel consumption of 62.8 mpg.
The Bipper Tepee is available in two trim levels S and Outdoor. The S is available with either a 1.4 litre petrol engine or a 1.4 HDi diesel engine. The Outdoor has the same engine options, but the suspension is raised by 15 mm. That, along with larger body sill protection mouldings and side mouldings, gives it some of the off-roader looks. It has greater underbody protection, but it doesn’t have four-wheel-drive.
