The 2018-2019 Peugeot Boxer is an all-metal van of a new generation, which is distinguished by a large payload and some technical characteristics, in particular, low fuel consumption and various design options. A variety of configurations (different wheelbase, overall dimensions and roof height) makes this model an ideal solution for those who need a reliable, durable and roomy commercial vehicle.
Complete set
To date, in the showrooms of the official dealer of the French automaker in Moscow, FAVORIT MOTORS Group, there are eight different trim levels of the van. The most compact version (L1H1 330) has a wheelbase of 3000 mm and overall dimensions of 4963x2050x2253 mm. Such a car is distinguished by its special maneuverability (the turning circle from wall to wall is only 11.44 meters) and sufficient ground clearance (176 mm). At the same time, the useful weight of the van is close to 1 ton, and the volume of the body is 8 cubic meters. If you need a car with increased capacity, pay attention to the L4H3 440 package: in this case, the body volume will be 17 cubic meters, and the payload will be 1870 kilograms. Peugeot Boxer dimensions increased to 6363x2050x2760 mm, wheelbase - up to 4035 mm. The fuel tank for all trim levels is 90 liters, which provides a sufficient range, taking into account economical fuel consumption, even in urban operation.
Dynamics
The technical characteristics of the Peugeot Boxer correspond to modern standards of commercial vehicles, because the advanced engineering developments were used in the manufacture of the model. As an engine on all vehicle trim levels, a four-stroke diesel power unit with a volume of 2.2 liters and a power of 130 hp is used. Thanks to this, the maximum speed varies from 142 to 155 km per hour, depending on the wheelbase and dimensions of the van. The gearbox is a classic six-speed manual, it is convenient with it in the “torn” city mode and on long highways. Gears are included clearly, smooth acceleration saves diesel fuel. Fuel consumption will impress the owners of even cars, in urban mode it does not exceed 11 liters per 100 kilometers, on highways - 6.3 liters. Taking into account the increased volume of the fuel tank, one refueling is enough for almost 1500 kilometers!
Updates
When designing a new generation of the van, the manufacturer paid maximum attention to the reliability and durability of Peugeot Boxer components. High-strength steel is used as a material for the body. Especially for bad roads, the car is equipped with a reinforced suspension (independent front suspension with telescopic shock absorbers, coil springs, wishbones and anti-roll bar).
Peugeot Boxer is a family of light duty trucks, utility vans and passenger vans with a large number of body options. Three types of wheelbase and the same number of roof heights allow you to combine the version to suit any commercial need. This family has been produced since 1981, but it received the name Boxer in 1994 (before that it was called Peugeot J5). If in Europe Boxer is inferior in terms of sales to its "clones" - Ducato and Jumper, then in Russia, on the contrary, all the years since its appearance on our market, it has held the first place of these three models in terms of popularity.
A little history about Peugeot
In 1976, competing firms - the French automakers Citroen and Peugeot - merged into a single PSA holding. By entering into an agreement with the Italian Fiat, they combined capital, technology and engineering to conquer the commercial vehicle market - light trucks for business. For three, one common plant for the production of machines of this class was built. This enterprise (“Sevel Sud” in the Italian city of Val di Sangro) has been producing light trucks with a gross weight of 2.5 to 3.5 tons and minibuses since 1981.
At the same time, each of the three automakers retains its brand and model name. For Citroen it is (“jumper”), for Peugeot it is (“boxer”), for Fiat it is (the name of an old gold coin). The differences between these "twin brothers" are minimal, in the configuration, in the design of the front and interior. The third generation of "twins", which went into series in 2006, most fully covered all the niches of commercial use. In 2014, it was restyled.
"Three from the casket": Jumper, Ducato, Boxer of the 2006 model.
Restyling Peugeot Boxer 2014
The most noticeable external difference of the restyled Peugeot Boxer was the new front end. In completely different headlights, you can now find LED running lights (although on the “base” this is an additional option). The previous grille was retouched, the bumper has changed a bit. The interior of the car received an updated basic upholstery in black fabric, with gray and orange splashes.
The car's strength and soundproofing have been improved by strengthening the body structure and innovative, stronger rear and side door mechanisms. The braking system has been improved with larger brake discs with improved efficiency and noise reduction. Shock absorbers of an updated design appeared - with protection against foreign objects.
A more modern factory multimedia system is equipped with CD, MP3, USB, AUX outputs, Bluetooth connection, a 5-inch touch screen and audio control on the steering wheel.
Refinement of the car for sale in Russia was continued: now the standard equipment includes metal crankcase protection, a non-programmable Webasto heating optimization system (5 kW), a 12V socket in the cargo compartment, as well as a high-capacity battery (110 Ah) and mirrors rear view with electric drive and electric heating.
In general, the upgraded Peugeot Boxer has become more modern and technologically advanced, having added standard equipment (now ESP, a driver's airbag, and power windows), and retaining almost all of its advantages already familiar to consumers.
Device. Suspension and running gear Peugeot Boxer
Peugeot Boxer are cars with a load-bearing body, a transverse engine, MacPherson type front suspension and rack and pinion steering - that is, a standard set of technical solutions tested on millions of passenger cars. But in the design of the rear suspension, there are leaf springs already familiar to commercial trucks, which are based on a transverse beam of a non-driving square-section axle. On short-wheelbase versions, one sheet is placed, on medium-wheelbase versions - one plus a spring, on long-wheelbase versions - two sheets each.
The design of the all-metal van was specially thought out in such a way as to prevent the accumulation of dust, dirt and moisture in hard-to-reach places. Almost 2/3 of the structural material is galvanized steel. All external surfaces are double electroplated and covered with a five-layer anti-corrosion protective composition. Steel sheets up to 1.8 mm thick are used as the skin material for the Peugeot Boxer van.
The front suspension of the car is perfectly adjusted. In combination with the power steering, it guarantees consistently high maneuverability and ease of control. In the basic configuration of the Boxer, there is an ABS - anti-lock braking system, and the car can be equipped with an ASR slip control system, an overtaking parking sensor, a rear-view camera, ultrasonic detectors, etc.
In Europe, the Peugeot Boxer suspension can be spring or pneumatic. In Russia, pneumatic is not even offered as an option, because it is “uncomfortable to work” at extremely low frosty temperatures. Front brakes Peugeot Boxer ventilated disc, rear - disc.
Peugeot engine boxer
In the 90s / early 2000s, Peugeot Boxer cars were equipped with 2-liter gasoline engines with 109 hp, then they were replaced by diesels " P22DTE". These are four-cylinder 16-valve diesel engines equipped with a turbocharger, an intercooler and a Common Rail electronic injection system. The working volume is 2,198 cm3. Cylinder diameter - 86 mm, piston stroke - 94.6 m. Power - 130 hp. (or 96 kW), at 3500 rpm. The maximum torque is 320 N.m, at 2000 rpm.
The engine block is made of cast iron; the cylinder block cover is made of durable light alloy AS7. The timing drive is equipped with a double-row roller chain.
Peugeot Boxer engine
According to the reviews of the owners, the 2.2-liter 130-horsepower diesel engine, of course, does not endow the car with an assertive character, but the capabilities of this power unit are still enough to keep well in the city stream and make fairly fast overtaking on the highway. The driver can complain about some lack of traction only when the car is very thoroughly loaded. The consumption of diesel fuel according to the results of the test trip turned out to be quite acceptable - about 11 l / 100 km.
Peugeot Boxer transmission
The engine works in conjunction with a six-speed manual gearbox "MLGU6". The shift lever is located on the center console lug, directly under the right hand. His moves are short, the inclusions are clear, which is not the case for all trucks. The gear ratios of the transmission are well chosen: the “step” between the first and second gears is not too big, and when shifting up, the engine does not fall into the turbo lag. It helps in traffic jams. At the same time, the sixth gear always remains working: the engine on it, even with a full load, does not go out on the slopes, requiring you to switch down, but calmly pulls.
Isothermal van on the chassis of Peugeot Boxer
The first gear is very short, it is needed only for starting off. Then the second one immediately “asks”, which, apparently, is designed for a full car load. Theoretically, without a load, you can immediately use the second gear, and the first is needed only in the loaded state
Chasis (chassis with welded cab); Fourgon (cargo all-metal van); Combi (cargo-passenger all-metal van), passenger minibus.
The decoding of the alphanumeric designations of the machine modifications is as follows:
- Body type: ChC - chassis + cab; FT - all-metal van.
- Gross weight: 330 - 3 tons; 333 - 3.3 tons; 335 - 3.5 tons; 440 - 4 t.
- Load compartment length: L1 - 2.670 m (standard); L2 - 3.12 m (medium);
L3 - 3.705 m (long); L4 - 4.07 m (extra long). - Maximum load height (roof): H1 - 1.662 m (standard); H2 - 1.932 m (average); H3 - 2.172 m (high).
- 2 HDI 130 - means "diesel engine with a volume of 2.2 liters and a power of 130 hp."
For add-ons, Peugeot-Citroen Rus mainly cooperates with the Ryazan manufacturer Tsentrtranstekhmash. Also certified are Mytishchi Instrument-Making Plant, Automechanical Plant in Nizhny Novgorod, GIRD from the city of Miass, Chelyabinsk Region, and Tekhpro from Obninsk. Their add-ons differ in performance and price indicators. Retail prices are indicated on the websites of manufacturers. Their product line is the same: an onboard platform (with or without an awning), a manufactured goods van and an isothermal van. The design and materials, and, consequently, the cost characteristics are selected based on the needs of the buyer and his solvency.
Cabin Peugeot Boxer
The ergonomics of the cabin in the restyled Peugeot Boxer has changed very little. Finish quality is still very high (for commercial trucks). If the previous interior of the cabin was emphatically laconic and calm, then the updated creators tried to recharge it with expression. The scales and coloring of the toolbar are designed in a fashionable style. Even more useful niches and containers for all sorts of things appeared on the front panel, center console and doors (although it would seem, where else). A more “grasping” steering wheel and manual transmission lever are made in an emphatically “passenger” manner; they can be trimmed with leather as an option.
Comfort at the driver's workplace is close to that of a passenger car, but not one hundred percent. For example, the chair is installed as close as possible to the regular steel partition between the passenger compartment and the cargo compartment. Therefore, falling apart on it, like on a sofa, throwing back far away, will not work. We'll have to be content with a "direct bus" landing. Each mirror consists of 2 elements (one of them is spherical), which reduces "dead zones" and gives a feeling of complete control in any situation. High seating position and large glass area provide a good overview for the driver.

The French Peugeot Boxer is a very popular model of a commercial van in the Russian Federation and the most dangerous competitor of the domestic GAZelle. Since the beginning of 2000, Russia has become one of the 3 places where the car is produced. The reasons for the success of cars in the world market are called high comfort, excellent build quality and optimal dimensions of the Peugeot boxer.
Peugeot Boxer 1
1994 was the premiere year for the Peugeot Boxer. Initially produced as a light truck, van, chassis, minibus. Until 2006, the model did not undergo significant changes. Characteristic features of the first Boxer family:
- 5-speed high reliability transmission, manual or 4-speed automatic;
- independent suspension of the lever-spring system, located in front, rear - dependent layout with longitudinal springs;
- transverse arrangement of the motor;
- at the heart of a powerful frame-body carrier chassis;
- rack and pinion steering system.
According to the external characteristics, the overall dimensions of the Peugeot Boxer were somewhat different from the second generation analogues:
- height varies from 215 to 286 cm;
- length 475–560 cm;
- width is slightly more than 202 cm;
- the distance between the axles of the front and rear wheels is from 285 to 370 cm.
The weight of the Boxer in its various modifications is 2900–3500 kg.
At the beginning of the 2000s, the Boxer was slightly modernized. The exterior has become different: block headlights have been installed, the front bumper and mirrors have increased, plastic moldings have been added. The interior design has changed a bit. Among the changes in the power unit: engines appeared for 2.3 liters, 16 valves, 128 hp. and 2.8 liters at 146 hp, but the 1.9 liter diesel was discontinued.
Peugeot Boxer 2
In 2006, a significant modernization of Boxer took place, the tasks of which were to update the design and technical component of the car. Peugeot has acquired a more trendy body style, replacing outdated cubic shapes. The bumper is enlarged, a U-shaped radiator grille is added, the block headlights take on a curved look. Improves visibility due to the low-set plan. Increased wheelbase, wheel arches.
The Peugeot Boxer of the second generation began to be produced in four body types.
- The van is the most common version on the market. Two modifications are available - glazed (FV) and all-metal (FT). Used to transport goods, people. Plays the role of emergency vehicles.
- Chassis - you can install any equipment on the frame, which expands the range of use of Peugeot. This option has shown itself well as a tow truck, dump truck, isothermal van.
- Kombi is a curious specimen that combines the features of a minibus and a van. Great alternative to a minivan.
- A minibus is a luxury transport for transporting passengers.
Depending on the modification, the control dimensions of the Boxer body are as follows:
- the length is presented in four versions - 496, 541, about 600 and 636 cm;
- width l2h2 is 205 cm;
- standard height - 252 cm, increased - 276;
- wheelbase of three types: 300, 345 and 403 cm;
- body volume from 8 to 11.5 cubic meters. m;
- internal height: 166, 193 and 217 cm.
The Peugeot boxer fuel tank capacity is 90 liters. The maximum transport speed is 165 km/h. Fuel consumption on average in the city is 11 liters per 100 kilometers, on the highway - 8.4.
Among the cars of this class Peugeot is the most economical car with a modern eco-protection system.
The power unit Boxer is presented in six main versions:
- 2.2-liter diesel with 110, 130 or 150 horsepower.
- 3-liter, diesel in 145, 156 and 177 horsepower.
Changes regarding the exterior and interior of vehicles took place in 2008 and 2012. The Peugeot of the new generation has fifty modification options. There is an easy way to find out the technical data of the machine: the information is encrypted in the index. For example: Peugeot Boxer L2H2 2.2 HDi (250) 4dr. van, 120 l. s, 6MKPP, 2006–2014 The index should be read from the final values:
- year of issue. This Peugeot Boxer model was produced from 2006 to 2014;
- transmission data. Mechanics, 6 steps;
- engine power - 120 hp;
- body type - four-door van;
- engine type - turbo diesel;
- engine size - 2.2 liters;
- permissible load height (index H with designation 2). In the example, the average is 1932 millimeters;
- permissible load length (index L with designation 2). Average - 3120 mm.
The boxer has advantages, but drivers also note disadvantages, which include a short manufacturer's warranty, rapid wear of the chassis and suspension, which is the most repaired unit in a car. Advantages:
- comfortable salon;
- minimum fuel consumption;
- high speed;
- load capacity;
- pleasant appearance.
Boxer's high profitability is noted: the car pays off in about 2 years, but the cost of maintenance and frequent repairs can increase this period up to 3-4 years.
The Peugeot Boxer is a popular commercial van designed by Fiat Centro Stile designers. The model is produced by a joint venture between PSA Peugeot Citroen and Fiat Group. The chassis of this family was developed taking into account the requirements of Europe for safety and environmental friendliness, and one of its advantages is a wide range of various modifications.
Peugeot Boxer received a modern design in 2006. In Russia, the mass distribution of the model began later (together with the appearance of domestic competitors in the face of GAZelle cars). The French product quickly gained its client due to its interesting design, affordable cost and comfort of work.
Main advantages of Peugeot Boxer:
- the ability to manage with the rights of category "B";
- roomy body;
- best in class load capacity;
- affordable price.
Currently, Peugeot Boxer is produced at factories in Italy, France and Russia.
The official premiere of the Peugeot Boxer took place in 1994. However, the history of the model began much earlier. In the late 1970s, the PSA group entered into a partnership agreement with the Fiat brand. The companies agreed to jointly develop and produce small commercial trucks.
1 generation
The first fruits of the partnership were presented in 1981. The J5 model turned out to be quite solid, but it was not widely used. Nevertheless, it was she who became the predecessor of the Peugeot Boxer. The model was created by representatives of the Sevel enterprise, which united employees of PSA and Fiat. Peugeot Boxer (like some other cars of the French brand) received "twins" in the face of Citroen Jumper and Fiat Ducato.
The family included 4 modifications: chassis, van, light truck and small minibus. Features of the first generation:
- reliable 5-speed manual transmission (all versions of the model were equipped with it);
- independent link-spring front suspension
- a powerful base on the frame, capable of withstanding heavy loads;
- transverse motor.
The Peugeot Boxer I engine range included a 2-liter gasoline unit (110 hp) and 5 diesel engines (68-128 hp) of various sizes at once. Optionally, the car could be equipped with an all-wheel drive system.
On the latest versions of the family, a 4-speed automatic gearbox became available.
For almost 8 years, the Peugeot Boxer has not undergone major changes, and interest in the model began to fade, so in 2002 the French brand restyled the car. The radiator grille has become more expressive and has received an enlarged brand badge. In front, instead of single headlights, block headlights appeared. The bumper and rear-view mirrors have grown in size. Slightly changed the design of the cabin. The technical component has also changed. The developers abandoned the 1.9-liter diesel engine, adding a 2.8-liter and 2.3-liter unit (146 and 128 hp) to the lineup. The changes made the Peugeot Boxer more interesting.
2 generation
In 2006, the presentation of the second generation of the car took place, which has not lost its relevance at the present time. The development of the Peugeot Boxer II was carried out by Italian and French representatives. Among their priorities was the renewal of the design and structural components of the model, which remained unchanged for a long time. As a result, the changes affected the engine range, individual nodes, interior design and appearance. The number of Peugeot Boxer modifications has grown to almost 50 units.
The main role in creating the design of the novelty was played by the specialists of the Italian branch of Fiat Centro Style. Straight body lines (cubic design), gradually losing popularity, are a thing of the past. The model received a large bumper, complemented by a U-shaped grille. Immediately below it is a modest-sized hood cover. Complemented the picture of the block-headlights of a curved shape. The overall windshield and the low position of the glazing line improved visibility. Volumetric wheel arches and vertical rear-view mirrors completed the image. The cabin of the new Peugeot Boxer accommodated 3 people. In the passenger version, a sliding door appeared on the right (in addition to the front swing doors). The salon has also been updated. An on-board computer was installed on the dashboard made of soft plastic. The number of shelves, nice accessories and places to store various items has increased (a niche for papers, a glove box, a cup holder, a pull-out table and other compartments).
For the second generation, 2.2- and 3-liter units were developed. In 2010, the engine range was updated.
In Russia, the Peugeot Boxer II was very popular, and its production was opened soon after the premiere in the village of Rosva (Kaluga region). For the production of cars, the domestic enterprise used many foreign components. Bumpers, interior items and seats were purchased from the French company Fauresia, and the elements made of sheet metal were supplied by the Spanish company Gestamp Automocion.
In 2008, the second Peugeot Boxer underwent a restyling that affected its appearance. The car got a massive lining, stretching at the level of the wheels for the length of the side. The engine range has changed - more economical units have been added to it. The model received a set of systems that improve the safety of passengers and the driver.
In 2012, the Peugeot Boxer underwent another restyling, having received a more comfortable interior and minor design changes. Already in the basic version, the car was equipped with seats with many adjustments and power windows. A distinctive feature of the model are ergonomic handles that allow you to open the door with minimal effort.
The body began to be made of materials of increased strength, which increased the service life of the car and gave additional rigidity. The problem of corrosion in restyled versions was practically solved. Dirt on the body did not accumulate, and the galvanized coating of the elements ensured maximum durability.
Technical changes in the model were minimal.
The scope of the Peugeot Boxer family has always been unusually wide. The model made it possible to transport bulky goods, the dimensions of which depended on the modification of the machine. The useful volume of individual versions reached 17 cubic meters.
The car was produced in the following body types:
- Van - the most popular version, which was used for various tasks. The modification had 2 variations: FV (glazed) and FT (all-metal). The van made it possible to transport equipment, people, food, furniture and other items. The car was suitable for work in the Ministry of Emergencies, the police and emergency services.
- The chassis is a universal body option that allows you to add functionality based on the goals of the client by mounting equipment on the frame. There were many directions for using the modification: a tow truck, an onboard platform, a refrigerator, an isothermal van, a dump truck, a manufactured goods van, a tank, and others. The chassis made it possible to perform almost any job due to the possibility of installing special equipment and high payload (up to 1900 kg).
- Kombi - a version that combines the advantages of a minibus and a van. The Peugeot Boxer Combi model had unique parameters and was a good alternative to the classic minivan.
- A minibus is a passenger variation with the ability to change the configuration of the cabin and an increased level of comfort. Modification of the Peugeot Boxer Tour Transformer received folding sofas. At the same time, the salon could be transformed by shifting them. As a result, the minibus easily turned into a mobile office, camper, combi or a full-fledged van.

Engine
The first modifications of the Peugeot Boxer II were equipped with 2 types of power plants: 3- and 2.2-liter diesel engines with the Common Rail system (jointly developed by Ford Motor Company and PSA Peugeot Citroen). The units were based on the engines of the DW (Peugeot) series, but had a longer service life.
Features of these engines:
- cast iron cylinder block;
- soot particle control system in engine oil;
- durable cylinder head made of light alloy AS7;
- timing drive with 2-row roller chain.
In the Russian market, versions with a 2.2-liter diesel engine with a nominal power of 96 hp are more common. and a torque of 320 Nm. 2.2-liter units also had a power of 120 hp, 3-liter diesel engines - 158 hp.
In 2010, the Peugeot Boxer engine range was updated. Old motors have been replaced with more economical and reliable versions. The range of engines includes:
- 2.2-liter diesel (110, 130 and 150 hp);
- 3-liter diesel (145, 156 and 177 hp).
Device
The design and construction of the Peugeot Boxer II has revolutionized the utility van segment. Versatile and modern car suitable for any situation. Characteristic features of the car were an elongated hood with a slightly protruding middle part and a large radiator grille. The complex geometry of the reflectors and twin headlights provided excellent illumination of the path.
The second Peugeot Boxer was superior to its predecessor in terms of convenience and work resource. Bumpers, hinges and doors were reinforced, which made it possible to withstand increased loads. The body of the car was almost entirely made of 1.8 mm steel sheets. The car became stronger and received less damage in accidents and collisions. The chassis of increased rigidity, where a steel frame was used, gave additional structural strength.
The body itself was designed in such a way as to exclude the accumulation of dirt in hard-to-reach areas. Almost 70% of the metal was galvanized steel. The outer surfaces were additionally galvanized and covered with 5 layers of protective material. This technology reliably protected the body from corrosion.
The developers have not forgotten about security either. The body structure was developed taking into account maximum stability in a frontal impact. Programmed deformation zones could absorb a strong impact and protect passengers and the driver from injury.
Other body features include:
- reinforced front doors;
- restriction of movement of the steering column and pedal assembly (protection of the driver);
- rigid frame;
- the optimal location of the front suspension units, due to which part of the frontal impact moved under the bottom.
The chassis of the car was represented by a Pseudo McPherson front axle with independent front wheels and a dependent rear axle based on springs. In some modifications, anti-roll bars were present. The steering was of the "pinion-rack" type and was supplemented by a hydraulic booster, which facilitates the driving process.
For the Peugeot Boxer II, a manual transmission with 5 or 6 speeds and front-wheel drive was chosen. It was decided to abandon the automatic transmission used earlier.
Gone are the drum brakes. Disc brakes with high performance were installed on all wheels of the model. The basic equipment included ABS (anti-lock braking system). Active safety in the second Peugeot Boxer was given increased attention, equipping the model with the following systems (optional):
- electronic brake force distribution (REF), which regulates the braking of each wheel according to the situation on the road;
- traction control (ASR), which minimizes slip during acceleration;
- emergency braking assistant (AFU), which increases the pressure on the pedal and reduces the braking distance;
- dynamic stabilization system (ESP), which returns the car to a given trajectory
- an open door localization system indicating a door left open by a light indication;
- a safety cut-off system for fuel supply, which cuts off the fuel supply upon impact;
- power window security system;
- airbags for passengers and driver;
- 3-point seat belts;
- other security systems.
Peugeot Boxer positioned itself as a functional carrier of large volumes of cargo. However, this priority did not affect the size and quality of the cabin. The model was equipped with a comfortable cabin designed for 3 people. The gearshift lever was located near the instrument panel and provided easy speed selection. In the front part, space was allocated for a third passenger, so it was convenient for him to travel even over long distances.
The dashboard is made of soft plastic. In addition to standard dials (fuel indicator, engine temperature, speedometer and tachometer), an on-board computer appeared. A convenient 4-spoke steering wheel could be equipped with radio control buttons.
The driver's seat was equipped with many storage spaces and shelves, which helped him to settle down with maximum comfort. High landing and large mirrors improved visibility and gave a feeling of complete control of the situation. The driver's seat was noticeably more comfortable than the passenger's. The latter had no adjustments. Vertically raised backs and small pillows did not allow to accommodate comfortably. The driver's seat has received special settings that allow you to choose the optimal position.
Compared to domestic Gazelles and most competitors, the Peugeot Boxer looked much better in terms of driving comfort. At the same time, the cost of the model has always remained democratic, which attracted the interest of a large number of customers.
Price of new and used Peugeot Boxer
The basic equipment of the car looks rather poor. In the "minimal salary" there is not even an audio system. Most options will have to be ordered separately. The version with a standard motor in the basic configuration will cost 1.01-1.05 million rubles. A similar model with an average body will be more expensive by 50-60 thousand rubles. The cost of models with a high roof starts from 1.21-1.25 million rubles.
The most expensive are elongated modifications. Prices for them start from 1.27 million rubles.
Used versions of the Peugeot Boxer are also popular due to their high reliability. The choice here is no less wide:
- models of 2007-2008 - from 200 thousand rubles;
- models of 2011-2012 - from 600 thousand rubles;
- models of 2014-2015 - from 900 thousand rubles.

Van. Widespread bodywork. It is used to transport equipment, food, furniture and other goods, as well as to transport people. Van-type cars are great for working in emergency services (ambulance, rescue service).
Chassis. Universal body style. High load capacity - up to 1900 kg and the possibility of mounting special equipment on the frame, allow you to perform various tasks on vehicles with a chassis body. They are used as a tow truck, onboard platform. They are often modified into refrigerators, isothermal vans, dump trucks, tanks.
Cargo-passenger. This body combines the advantages of a cargo van and a minibus. Peugeot Boxer Combi cars are a great alternative to a minivan, only with more capacity.

Vehicle device
The Peugeot Boxer model is designed and made taking into account various factors. The design virtually eliminates the accumulation of dust and dirt in hard-to-reach places. Almost 2/3 of the structural material is galvanized steel. External surfaces are subjected to a double galvanic coating and 5 layers of a special protective composition. This approach reliably protects the truck from corrosion.
Peugeot Boxer body cladding material uses steel sheets up to 1.8 mm thick. This is enough to withstand various road impacts and mechanical shocks. In addition, the chassis with increased rigidity gives additional strength to the automotive structure.
The front suspension of the Peugeot Boxer is well adjusted. It, together with the power steering, guarantees high maneuverability and ease of transport control in general. Even in the initial configuration of the Boxer, a modern anti-lock braking system is provided, and the model can be understaffed with an ASR slip control system, an overtaking sensor, a rear-view camera, ultrasonic detectors and parking sensors.
Driver's seat equipment
The driver's seat, unlike the passenger seat, is equipped with a variety of adjustments, which allows you to comfortably drive vehicles. Initially, the model is equipped with external electrically adjustable and electrically heated mirrors. Each mirror consists of 2 elements (one spherical) - this reduces the "dead zones" and gives a feeling of complete control of the situation. The high seating position and large windows provide good visibility for the driver.
Advantages and disadvantages of the model
If we compare Peugeot Boxer cars with competing brands of trucks with similar characteristics, this model is better in terms of price and quality.
The interiors of the Peugeot Boxer are more comfortable and roomy than those of competitors, this is the merit of the leaders of the French car industry, since they really prefer ergonomic indicators. The model is equipped with only advanced equipment and a powerful traction motor that can accelerate even a loaded car to maximum speed in a short time with low fuel consumption.
But the Peugeot Boxer model also has disadvantages, which are associated with the adaptation of a European car to domestic roads, temperatures and the quality of maintenance. Particularly problematic Peugeot Boxer nodes in Russian operating conditions are steering tips, electronics and ball joints. The car warms up for a long time in winter, but it still remains cold in the cabin.
