Peugeot's RCZ wins again in the Diesel car magazine awards



  • Peugeot RCZ recognised for its combination of style, performance and economy
  • ‘Best-Sports Car’ title winner since its launch in 2010
  • Distinctive and unique double-bubble roofline instantly recognisable on UK roads

In the auspicious annual Diesel Car magazine’s ‘Car of the Year Awards 2013’, the Peugeot RCZ Sports CoupĂ© has again been selected as the winner of the ‘Best Sports Car’ category, beating off strong opposition from the Mercedes-Benz SLK and others to retain this title undefeated.



The Peugeot RCZ is distinguished by its characteristic double-bubble roofline and aluminium roof arches.  It is available in two trim levels – Sport and GT (accounting for 80% of range) – and with a choice of two 1.6-litre petrol engines and a 2.0-litre HDi 163 turbo-diesel. Strong performance with 240 lb ft of torque from 2,000rpm means the RCZ can reach 62mph in 8.7seconds onto a top speed of 137mph. The economy in the Combined Drive Cycle at 53.2mpg is impressive, combined with CO2 at just 139g/km.

Diesel Car Editor, Ian Robertson said: “Here is a pocket supercar for far less money than its voluptuous looks and slick behaviour would lead you to expect.”

The Peugeot RCZ range starts at £21,600, with the HDi 163 Sport priced at £23,435 and the higher-specification GT at the top of the range at £25,835.
