Tepee Overview:
Peugeot Bipper (Tepee). With 118 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~8.2 l/100km). Weighing only 1165 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 16.2 s). The top speed reaches 155 km/h. A spacious vehicle designed to transport passengers comfortably, often with sliding doors. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
