Model history and purpose
The production of models of the Peugeot Boxer family began in 1994 at the Italian SEVEL plant. The features of the first generation of the model include a base on the frame, a front transverse arrangement of the engine, an independent lever-spring front suspension. All versions of the debut Peugeot Boxer were equipped exclusively with a 5-speed "mechanics". The model was created by a joint team of specialists from PSA Peugeot Citroen and Fiat. The result of their activities was 3 cars that differ little in design and construction: Citroen Jumper, Fiat Ducato and Peugeot Boxer.
The Peugeot Boxer I was offered in 4 main modifications: chassis, minibus, van and light truck. The line of power units consisted of a 2-liter gasoline engine (110 hp) and 5 diesels of 1.9-2.8-liter displacement (68-128 hp). The wheelbase of the first generation ranged from 2850-3700 mm, length - 4749-5599 mm.
In 2002, the French carried out a serious facelift of the model. He touched the grille and both bumpers. The interior of the Peugeot Boxer has also changed significantly. Also, plastic moldings for the body and enlarged headlights with shades without a pattern were installed on the car. The rear of the facelifted version featured a rounded bumper, a new nameplate and lights with ventilation holes. In the engine range, 2.3- and 2.8-liter units were replaced by 1.9-liter diesel engines. At the same time, most of the elements remained the same (doors, external panels).
After another 4 years, the premiere of the second generation of the model took place. This option is still relevant today. The second Peugeot Boxer was the result of the work of French and Italian specialists, who tried to significantly improve all the details of the product and bring novelty to design solutions that remained unchanged for many years. The interior design, safety systems, design and engine range have been redesigned. The number of available modifications has also increased (about 50).
The exterior of the new Peugeot Boxer was handled by Italian designers from the Fiat Centro Style division. They decided to leave the cubic design of cars prevalent at that time. As a result, a massive bumper with a U-shaped grille was developed. Above his "lip" was a miniature bonnet, and the headlights were intricately shaped. Due to the low-lying glazing line and the huge windshield excellent visibility was provided. On the side, vertical mirrors and voluminous wheel arches stood out. The passenger versions, in addition to the hinged doors in the front, had a sliding door on the right side. The model's cockpit was made 3-seater. In addition to the standard dials (tachometer, speedometer, temperature sensor), the panel now has on-board computer... It itself was made of soft plastic. A lot of storage places and accessories appeared at the workplace: a glove box, a pull-out table, a niche for papers, a cup holder.
In 2014, the Peugeot Boxer was updated again. The technical characteristics of the model remained the same, and the changes affected exclusively the appearance.
Peugeot Boxer II is offered in several versions, which determine the model's capabilities:
- The all-metal van (Peugeot Boxer Ft) is used to transport various goods and as a technical assistance vehicle, a furniture van, a special vehicle (Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ambulance, Ministry of Emergencies), an isothermal van and a mobile radio or television studio.
- The cargo-passenger variation (Peugeot Boxer Combi) is used to transport passengers and deliver goods. The car is equipped with 9 passenger seats in the cabin with various options for their location. The seats are different high quality finishes (hard or soft). Quick-release fasteners have been specially developed for this version.
- The minibus (Peugeot Boxer Tour Transformer) is a model with a variable interior configuration that guarantees an optimal level of comfort. Inside the car are foldable sofas that can be deployed, folded and stowed away, transforming the interior of the car into a camper, van, combi or mobile office.
- The chassis with a cab (Peugeot Boxer Chassis Cab) is the most versatile version of the car, providing the ability to install various superstructures on the frame and perform a wide variety of work. Due to the modularity of the design and the same distance between the holes for fastening, conversion is carried out with a minimum of time and effort. The most popular versions of cars based on the Peugeot Boxer chassis are: an isothermal van, an onboard platform, a refrigerator, a dump truck, a manipulator crane, an awning, a manufactured goods van, a tank and a furniture van.
Peugeot Boxer is currently considered one of the leaders in its segment. An unpretentious, economical and powerful car will be an excellent assistant in business and in the family. Domestic customers are offered models assembled from imported kits at a plant in the village of Rosva (Kaluga region).

Device and repair
The body of the Peugeot Boxer is almost entirely made of steel sheets with a thickness of 1.8 mm. As a result, it tolerates road damage and impacts well compared to vans of the same class. The chassis with increased rigidity gives it additional strength. The design of the model is thought out to the smallest detail. The Peugeot Boxer is engineered to minimize the accumulation of dirt and dust in hard-to-reach areas. Almost 70% of the metal used in the structure is galvanized steel. Its outer surfaces are galvanized twice and then covered with 5 layers of a special protective material. This technology reliably protects the car from corrosion.
V basic configuration the model is equipped with electrically heated and electrically adjustable exterior mirrors. Moreover, each mirror has 2 glasses (one spherical), which reduces the "dead zones" for the driver. The high seating position and large windows make driving very comfortable.

For example, Peugeot Partner- a utility vehicle designed for use in small businesses is incredibly popular among businessmen. The Partner entered serial production two years after the Boxer was released.
It is noteworthy that, like the Boxer, the Partner is still original. Completely non-classical dimensions, other functional equipment for such a segment, other technical capabilities - all this cannot leave an amateur motorist indifferent. And this is proved by the successful sales of the Partner in many countries of the world.

On automotive market Peugeot Boxer vans first appeared in 1996, after which they successfully spread throughout Europe. The Peugeot Boxer model was distinguished by simple operation, as well as uncomplicated design, and became popular in the field of small cargo and passenger transportation. In 2006, the second generation came out, and specifications Boxer has improved markedly. First of all, it is worth noting the diesel engine, which became more powerful and was produced in a volume of 2.2 liters. In the Peugeot Boxer, the technical characteristics were also different in that all cars received a manual transmission.
The 2006 Peugeot Boxer boasts an improved HDi engine type. However, this is not all. Peugeot characteristics Boxer who have changed in the new generation. With the new engine size, the 2nd generation Boxer can develop up to 120 Horse power making him one of the leaders in his own class.

The new Peugeot Boxer is produced with an improved metal body, equipped with rear hinged doors, in a certain modification, a side sliding door is also available. After restyling, the 2nd generation Boxer acquired an updated radiator grille; the headlights, hood, bumpers and front fenders were also changed. The 2008 Peugeot Boxer was already more recognizable thanks to the protective cover made of plastic. She walked along the entire side of the car, located at the level of the wheels. Obviously, after the restyling of the Peugeot Boxer, the technical characteristics received minor changes in contrast to the significantly modified design.
Peugeot Boxer 2008 was brought to perfection, having carefully worked out every small detail, equipping a sufficiently powerful car with economical power units... The issue of safety was also not left without attention - the new Boxer was equipped to the maximum with a full set of security systems. It is worth noting that the design of the 2010 Peugeot Boxer has been completely refined, becoming revolutionary in its class.

In the manufacture of the Peugeot Boxer, high strength steel was used, which added to the car additional endurance and strength. Now the likely impacts and collisions on the road were not scary. And the increased rigidity of the chassis has increased the ability to prevent possible road accidents. Thanks to the updated design of the II generation Peugeot Boxer, dirt did not accumulate on the body in hard-to-reach places, so the problem of corrosion was also solved. And galvanized steel, which is abundant in the metal used to make a car, contributes to its strength and durability.

How the III generation Peugeot Boxer has changed, technical characteristics, pros and cons will be discussed in this article. The whole.
Car history
Planning the development of commercial vehicles, in the early 80s, the Peugeot company entered into an agreement with, for the creation of a multi-purpose, light-tonnage car. The result of the work was the Peugeot J5, released in 1981. Citroen C25, Fiat Ducato became its twins. J5 differed from competitors in exterior.
After a small facelift in 1991, the production of the model was discontinued. The sales turned out to be a failure - in France the commercial Peugeot J5 was still being sold somehow, but Fiat Ducato dominated in Europe. In 1994, the French company introduced the Peugeot Boxer - truck with a gasoline 2-liter engine and 5 diesels.
The second generation was presented in 2006. After 2 years, it was possible to assemble it at the Peugeot, Citroen enterprise in Russia. Total was released III generation- the release of the third modification is scheduled for 2018-2019.
Exterior
Manufacturers always pay special attention to the exterior of the car. This is especially true for proven, demanded models that undergo restyling almost every year. In 2014, the new Peugeot Boxer was introduced. But times go by, new technologies appear, motorists are becoming more demanding.
In this regard, the management of Peugeot decided to bring the next model to the market - the Peugeot Boxer 2018-2019. The situation with commercial vehicles is somewhat different. Who is interested in tuning, new headlights or a radiator grill, when the first place for the driver was and remains the Peugeot Boxer body, the overall endurance of the car and fuel consumption? Nevertheless, minor improvements were made to the exterior.
The first Boxers were presented in 2006. Since that time, the appearance of the car has significantly faded. To refine the novelty, the designers have endowed it with new headlights, modern LEDs. The old radiator grille has been retouched, the bumper has changed slightly.
If earlier the vehicle was produced in the Combi modification (glass on the side and rear), then in 2018 the Peugeot Boxer 3 came out in the Fourgon (blank panels) and Chasis (bare chassis) variations. For obvious reasons, the second type is not in demand in our country. All doors were equipped with reinforced hinges, which made the operation of the car more reliable and durable.
Interior
Looking into the Peugeot Boxer salon, we note only minor changes. The first thing that catches your eye is the dashboard, which completely changed the style. Now it has become more informative. As an additional option, it became possible to cover the steering wheel and gearshift lever with leather. New compartments for small things are quite roomy.
The most notable interior update is the center console. Buying a Peugeot Boxer Professional, the motorist will have the opportunity to order an optional display with navigation. By the way, completely touch-sensitive. For a van of this level, this is almost a sensation.
Specifications
Depending on the modification, the model can have different wheelbases - from 300 to 403.5 centimeters. The length of the body also varies and depends on the type: van, chassis, minibus. The engine is equipped with an Hdi injection system, a manual transmission, six-speed. It is also known from the Peugeot Boxer specifications that the car will be front-wheel drive.
Power unit
Under the hood of the Peugeot Boxer is an engine that the owners of previous versions of the van have already fallen in love with. This is a 2.2-liter diesel engine with some interesting technical specifications. Modifications with a capacity of 130, 150 horsepower will be available in Russia.
There is also a Peugeot Boxer minibus with a 3-liter engine and 180 hp, but it is almost impossible to get it in our country. It will not be officially sold. What will be the fuel consumption of the Peugeot Boxer is still unknown. It is known that the 2nd generation Peugeot boxer spent:
- 7 liters combined.
- Almost 11 liters in the urban cycle.
- Only 7.5 liters in the extra-urban driving cycle.
And his maximum speed was 142 km / h. Of course, fuel consumption directly depends on the wind flow, vehicle load and some other features. In the new third generation Peugeot, the speed is 155 km / h for the 130 hp engine, 162 km / h for the 150 hp engine.
Transmission
Only one 6-speed gearbox will be available to future owners of the Peugeot Boxer 3. Of course, the mechanics - automatic transmission for the Boxer Peugeot car is not provided.
Suspension
Whatever they say, the Peugeot Boxer 3 suspension deserves flattering reviews. The car was pumped with a powerful stretcher, the shock absorbers were reinforced.
Compared to the previous version, the suspension is more controllable.
Soundproofing, albeit not perfect, but still got better. If before the diesel engine hummed monotonously, and this was very noticeable, today a minimum of noise reaches the driver.
Carrying capacity
Peugeot Boxer van truck offered in 8 various trim levels with a body volume from 8 to 17 cubic meters. m. The impressive volumes make the car one of the most capacious in its segment. Drivers who are engaged in cargo transportation can buy a car:
- With a gross weight of 2.5 tons.
- Weighing up to 3.5 tons and payload less than 1000 kg.
- Weighing up to 3.5 tons and a payload of 1500 kg.
- With reinforced suspension, increased load capacity. The total weight of such a car is 4 tons or more.
Dimensions (edit)
We have already found out that depending on the model and wheelbase, the volume of the cargo compartment varies between 8-17 cubic meters. m. Let's designate the dimensions of the Peugeot Boxer for a more accurate understanding of the situation. The clearance of the 2018-2019 model is 17.6 centimeters. The height reaches 225.4 cm, the length and width of the Peugeot Boxer are 496.3 and 205 cm, respectively.
Driving technology and aids
The 2019-2020 Peugeot Boxer is instantly rehabilitated when it comes to additional equipment. Optionally, a rear-view camera is offered to simplify parking, a hill descent assistant, a start assistant. There are light and rain sensors, cruise control option, pressure control, as well as USB, AUX slots.
The standard equipment of the Peugeot Boxer (pictured) also includes the ESP system, which is really lacking on many similar models, a frontal airbag, and power windows. All other options will have to be ordered for an additional fee.
It is noteworthy that in front bumper car appeared 2 steps. It is very easy to climb on them - it is much easier to clean the glass from dirt.
Mobile office equipment
Despite the fact that the driver drives a cargo Peugeot Boxer, and not an executive sedan, the level of comfort in the cabin is beyond praise. The mobile office is represented by a comfortable driver's seat with a wide range of adjustments.
Seat adjustment in the lumbar region and armrests are available as additional options. There is a folding table for storing handy peripherals - the cabin turns into a real office. The total space for additional accessories is 73 liters.
Security

- Frontal airbags for the driver, passenger.
- Side airbags.
- Safety shutters on each side of the car.
A crumple zone is provided in the front part, which absorbs the lion's share of the energy released upon impact. The size front axle optimized so that some of the energy can be transferred to the body in a head-on collision.
Options and prices
If you believe latest news, you can buy a Peugeot Boxer at a price that starts at 1 million 770 thousand rubles. For this money, you can purchase a vehicle in the very initial configuration - with a 130 horsepower engine. When ordering additional equipment such as navigation or a rear-view camera, the cost has every chance of exceeding 2 million rubles.
Tuning
Given the current shortcomings and weak spots van, tuning Peugeot Boxer - a really necessary thing. First, the protection of the wheel arches. Secondly, the installation of new seats - for example, with the analysis of foreign cars. The regular chairs are tight and absolutely uncomfortable. The radiator also needs to be improved - sometimes it is simply sheathed with plywood from the inside.
Noise isolation is also needed - you can't do without it. Rear doors need a seal, wheel arch liners will not interfere. The quality of light in the cabin leaves much to be desired - and here you can not do without improvements. The multimedia system is mediocre - it can be replaced too.
Comparison with competitors
The obvious competitors of the Peugeot Boxer auto are:
- FIAT Ducato.
Due to a decent luggage compartment, an economical diesel engine, the Peugeot Boxer wins the fight, but because of the far from perfect painting, stiff suspension and not the best ergonomics, it is inferior to its competitors.
Owner reviews
No matter how detailed and informative car reviews are, the opinion of motorists remains decisive. What they say about the Peugeot Boxer, what reviews they write. Let's figure it out.
I am writing an honest review. I live in St. Petersburg. Took an average commercial used Boxer of 2012. Of the shortcomings, I note a downright loud body, which rattles strongly, weak struts and springs. He is afraid of ruts and ice like fire. In rain and ice, alas, it is absolutely uncontrollable. The trouble with emergency braking is that it doesn't like this option at all, it hardly slows down. Seats for passengers - zero ergonomics, nothing. After about a year of active driving, weak points came out - the rail of the side door burst. As soon as replaced, burst wheel disks, the body began to disperse at the seams. I do not demand stars from the sky from the van, but when it crumbles on the go, comments are unnecessary. Glow plugs last a maximum of a year. Someone says thatPeugeotBoxer 3has become much better. I don’t know, I don’t know, but I would definitely not buy a 2012 van today.

I bought a Spanish-assembled bus Peugeot Boxer in May 2015. Now her mileage is 195,000 km. I was looking for a working machine that would not fail or break down at the most unexpected moment. The boxer gives me such confidence. I drive 300-400 km daily, 5 times a week. Always starts up once. The front tires were enough for 95,000 kilometers, the rear should be enough for at least 150,000 kilometers. The maximum that I loaded into it was 2.5 tons. Puffed, groaned, arrived without consequences. I drop in for inspection every 15 thousand km. It paid off almost completely in 1.5 years.
Of the advantages, I note reliability and agility, good cross-country ability. Of the minuses - albeit comfortable, but still an explosive interior, a lot of noise. In frosty weather, the side door doesn't close properly, no matter how hard you try. In general, I am satisfied with the purchase.

I clocked my Peugeot Boxer 2 diesel to 165. This is an airplane, not a van. And it eats no more fuel than a passenger car. Convenient loading, very spacious. At 69,000 km, the generator and steering tip had to be replaced. Now I sell it as unnecessary. A good alternative to well-known brands!

Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages of the car
- Increased ergonomics, appearance, comfort;
- The luggage compartment is more spacious.
Cons of the car
- The review cannot be called free - the volumetric racks interfere;
- The storage compartments in the door panels are too low;
- The handbrake was installed on the left for some unknown reason. It is not very convenient to use it;
- The steering wheel is adjustable exclusively for reach. Since there are no settings for the angle of inclination, it is almost impossible to achieve the most comfortable position;
- The driver and passengers will have to take an almost vertical position;
- After 60 thousand run, Peugeot Boxer literally starts to crumble. The most vulnerable spots: clutch, air suspension, bearings, steering racks and generators;
- In addition, the price of the Peugeot Boxer is far from the lowest.
Summing up
And a small afterword to conclude the review. The Peugeot Boxer has undergone minor changes and is definitely an improvement over the 2nd generation. Not without flaws - they were voiced in the paragraph above. Where is the best place to buy a Peugeot Boxer? Most the best option- contact an authorized dealer.
It is he who will be able to offer models with various configuration options, and will provide an official guarantee for the van. The price of 1.77 million rubles for a new Peugeot Boxer is rather big, to put it mildly. But there is a real way to save money. It is necessary to wait for the start of sales, after which the price of last year's Peugeot Boxer van will definitely decrease.
Does the cost seem overpriced anyway? There is a way out - to pay attention to used vehicles. It is quite realistic to take a used Peugeot boxer for 7-8 thousand dollars. If the condition is practically new, and the mileage is modest enough, you can keep within $ 16,000.
