Faux chrome strips separate the two-toning, with chrome and brushed metal finishes added elsewhere, too, like on the pillion grabrail, muffler shield, mirrors and windscreen bracket.
Whitewall tyres and white wheels are standard on the Django Evasion, and while I cringe at the thought of having to clean them, they suit the retro vibe. Same goes for the seat, which is a two-piece unit with contrast piping and ribbed upper section.
Lighting consists of a classic-look hooded headlight (that turns with the handlebars, Vespa-style) and a slim tail/brake light. Indicators are subtly integrated into the body at each end and there’s a DRL, too, framing the Peugeot logo on the front end. Curiously, all lights are LEDs except the headlight.
The instrumentation, integrated into the headlight/handlebar assembly, is somewhat more modern, with a backlit analogue speedometer and digital display for the fuel level, clock, odometer and outside temperature. Why the hell you need an air temp gauge on a scooter, indeed any motorcycle, is beyond me. Another weird addition is a hazard light button, but anyway…
Overall, the Django Evasion’s styling is similar to a retro Vespa and I found myself making constant visual comparisons to the iconic Italian scooter when looking over the Evasion.
If the Evasion’s appearance is a bit TOO retro for you, the Django Allure offers a more subtle two-tone ‘Chocolate’ colour scheme of light and dark metallic brown. This is the sole colour option for now, but other equally-subtle, equally-elegant colour options are offered on the Allure for the European market.
The Evasion’s whitewall tyres remain on the Allure, but the white wheels are swapped for a brushed metal finish, which is very similar to – yes, you guessed it – a Vespa.
Finally, the Django Sport is for those who aren’t into retro in any form. It’s finished in black all over, including the wheels and fork legs, and presents a much more contemporary appearance than its siblings.
Other design points to note – on all models – include the grippy rubber strips on the footwell, retro-look ‘Django’ badging on the rear flanks and fold-out pillion pegs.
