As you’d expect, there’s a price to pay for the Peugeot’s sleek looks and low-slung stance. 

Those back seats are a token effort, with thin backs, short bases and next to no legroom. You’re better off using them as additional storage, and you can use the seatbelts to strap in items to stop them sliding around. Front seat space is very good, with plenty of headroom, especially when you consider that low roofline.

Not that you’re likely to need it, because the RCZ provides a surprisingly spacious boot. It’s not as deep as the VW Scirocco’s, but offers 309 litres of capacity, and when you fold the split rear seats, you can increase that to 760 litres.

Elsewhere in the cabin, you’ll find a decent amount of storage space, including handy door bins and a number of cup-holders. As with all Peugeots, though, most of the RCZ’s glovebox capacity is eaten into by the fusebox.
