    Under The Spotlight: The Peugeot RCZ

    Already having the honour of winning the Best Sports Car 2014 from both Auto Express and Diesel Car, Peugeot’s RCZ is having a tidal impact with industry experts and enthusiasts alike. We investigate what makes it stand out from the crowd.

 

Already having the honour of winning the Best Sports Car 2014 from both Auto Express and Diesel Car, Peugeot’s RCZ is having a tidal impact with industry experts and enthusiasts alike. With a motoring vision centred on a “head turning” appearance and crisp performance, the RCZ has blown expectations out of the water to become recognised as THE sports car of 2014.

Retaining its trademark “double bubble” roof, the streamline low profile design optimises performance by accentuating balance and handling. Inside, sporty doesn’t mean impractical and the RCZ is crammed with gadgets to ensure you get the most from the driving experience. Keeping you on the right track, Peugeot’s pioneering RT6 navigation system rests on the soft touch dash, taking you where you want to go through responsive mapping all from a compact 7” screen. For in-drive entertainment, Bluetooth connects your music collection to your RCZ, accessed through the RT6 navigation screen. 

The interior trim is naturally sporty to reflect the exterior, with the responsive driver controls placed in comfortable touching distance, allowing for maximisation of the RCZ’s performance. Trim wise the RCZ offers plenty of variety, including cloth blended with leather for ultimate comfort. Peugeot have captured the sports vibe perfectly with low seats, a soft touch steering wheel and race-style gear lever that combines high performance with an overall fun drive.

The entry level Sport kicks on with a 1.6 THP engine, delivering an impressive 156 BHP that keeps you in the fast lane. Alternatively, the top spec Red Carbon provides 163 BHP at an economical 54 MPG, although when you hit the accelerator this doesn’t matter!

  • Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.

    Lenders of vehicle manufacturers may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.

    All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
