  • the best carrying capacity;
  • optimal ratio of quality and price;
  • minimum maintenance cost;
  • the most spacious body in the segment.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

This elegant vehicle for passenger transportation fully meets the requirements for quality and economy. Today, many are interested in the dimensions of the "Frenchman", the dimensions of its body, height, repair cost and much more. Let's try to figure it out.

A bit of history

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

The Peugeot Boxer replaces the J5. It appeared in 1994, after the successful development of the Sevel enterprise, which attracted qualified specialists from Fiat and Peugeot Citroen to work. As a result of such a commonwealth, it turned out to release three identical in exterior and design, but different in terms of technical capabilities of the car: Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroen Jumper.

Versions and engines

In this case, we are interested in the Boxer, which had 4 main modifications. In other words, the Peugeot Boxer was produced both as a van and a light-duty truck, just as a chassis, and, of course, as a minibus for passenger transportation.

Power plants deserve special attention. It is interesting that the lineup includes 5 diesel engines with different cubic capacity and power at once. There was also one 2.0-liter petrol unit with 110 horsepower. As for the transmission, it was equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Boxer Body

The body is that part of the car that many experts consider the most important, decisive for the choice of the buyer and the technical capabilities of the vehicle, in particular.

  • The 202cm width of the Boxer gave good roominess.
  • The height of the Peugeot Boxer frame could also be different, depending on the modification, but did not exceed 286 cm.

Interesting in the topic on the body is the style change carried out eight years after the release of the first Boxer. The modernization has affected the buffers, the radiator grill and a little interior. In particular, this is what happened.

  1. Optics appear larger than before.
  2. Plastic pads on the body on both sides are involved.

Regarding the general semi-styling: new power plants appear.

Second generation

The Boxer experienced a real restyling in 2006, when the second generation of the "Frenchman" was officially presented. It is produced to this day at factories in Europe. An interesting analogue of the Boxer, produced by a Mexican plant called Peugeot Manager, as well as a Russian analogue, assembled from imported car sets.

The second generation was practically unchanged, except for the engines. Power plants were initially installed in two versions: a 2.2-liter diesel engine for 101 and 120 horses, as well as a 3-liter diesel engine for 158 horses.

Six years ago, they were replaced by engines with more advanced features, which are distinguished by better performance and economy. In particular, we are talking about 2.2- and 3-liter units with different capacities.

The skeletons can also differ in terms of internal cubic capacity, in particular, when it comes to vans. Typically, the volume is 8-11.5 cubic meters. m with an internal height of 162-217 cm.

The appearance of the Boxer skeleton was worked on, as mentioned above, including the Italian designers Fiat. Their capabilities, tastes and preservation of past traditions have long been known, no one doubts. Although, this time they decided to deviate a bit from the classic options. Specifically, the standard cube van design has been changed like this.

  • On the top version, a brake light is installed above the doors.
  • The cabin is 3-seater. In addition to the driver, two passengers are free to fit.

Other famous Peugeot models

Thanks to the Boxer, Peugeot has clearly consolidated its position in the Russian market. But the domestic buyer knows other models of this manufacturer, which have proven themselves well in terms of passenger and freight transport.

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.

The partner is undergoing a radical restyling in 2002. Its second generation comes out, which has received a higher level of comfort, modern technologies, etc.

Another famous Russian car from the French company - Peugeot 308. Today it comes out in the back of a hatchback. They worked well on the exterior of the new generation, achieving fast and stylish lines.

Peugeot 308 is not accidentally named the best car 2014 according to CY. The buyer will be conquered by the noble design of the car, which has turned out to be daring and sophisticated. The width of the wheel arches and the low center of gravity reflect the company's dynamism and growth. The success of the car is given by the sports rims of the body, fully adapted to the mechanical component.

308 can also conquer with its optics, its forms and capabilities. The hand of famous designers is visible here too. Their appearance goes far beyond the well-established automotive standards.

For example, the headlamps have been chosen so that they beautifully emphasize the design of the radiator grill, merging with it into a single whole. As a result, a kind of "cat" look, captivating for many lovers, is created.

Originality was also shown when creating taillights, where SVD technologies were used.

The body of the new 308 is a separate story. As you know, the car assembly is based on the EMP2 platform, which has proven itself well. Thanks to her, the skeleton received compact dimensions. In particular, the 4-meter-plus length, which is quite compact for a cargo-passenger car. The weight of the 308 was also reduced by 140 kg.

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

To protect the driver and passengers in a collision, the vehicle is equipped with:

  • 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.

Vladimir, Saint Petersburg

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.

Andrey, Anapa

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.
