Peugeot Boxer (2006-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Impressive load space and payload	Rivals are more refined and better to drive
Economical 2.2-litre diesel	Some gearbox issues with older used models
Well equipped	Electric version won't go far on a charge

Quick Summary

The Peugeot Boxer is a large van available in multiple configurations, including panel van, crew van and window van variants. Introduced in 2006, it marked a significant improvement over its predecessor with enhanced practicality, economical HDi diesel engines, and modern safety equipment. Developed collaboratively with Fiat and Citroën, it shares the same platform as the Fiat Ducato and Citroën Relay. The Boxer offers impressive load space with payloads ranging from 1,125kg to 1,870kg and load lengths from 2,670mm to 4,070mm. Rear doors open 180 degrees, with a 270-degree option available, whilst the wide space between wheel arches accommodates larger loads. The cabin features practical storage with two gloveboxes, numerous cubby holes and cupholders, plus seating for three up front with generous leg, shoulder and headroom.

Current models are powered by one of two 2.2-litre BlueHDi diesel engines: the base BlueHDi 120 S&S produces 118bhp and 310lb ft of torque, whilst the BlueHDi 140 S&S outputs 138bhp and 340lb ft. Both pair with a six-speed manual gearbox. Fuel economy averages 25.5-36.0mpg depending on configuration, with a 90-litre tank providing approximately 495 miles per tank. The Boxer is manoeuvrable with light steering and good forward visibility, though its underlying age shows in rough suspension and lack of handling finesse compared to newer rivals. A recently launched electric version offers smoother, quieter operation and punchy performance, though its limited range suits local trips rather than long-haul transport. Peugeot offers fixed-price service plans up to five years, with standard servicing required every two years or 32,000 miles.

Best for: Businesses and operators requiring substantial load space and payload capacity, those seeking economical diesel running costs, and buyers comfortable with the Boxer's driving characteristics.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising refined, comfortable driving experiences, operators needing long-range electric capability, or buyers seeking the latest van technology and refinement.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Boxer if: You require substantial load space and payload capacity, seek economical diesel running costs, and are comfortable with its driving characteristics and age-related refinement levels.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise refined, comfortable driving experiences, need long-range electric capability, or want the latest van technology and refinement from newer competitors.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot Boxer remains a competitively economical option with impressive load space, payload capacity and configurability. However, newer rivals such as the Ford Transit, Nissan NV400 and Vauxhall Movano are more modern, refined and better to drive. Peugeot's updates and revisions, particularly the 2.2-litre BlueHDi engines meeting modern emissions regulations, help keep the Boxer in contention. With many versions offering claimed average fuel economy of up to 36mpg and well-equipped interiors, the Boxer remains a sensible purchase for those prioritising practicality and economy over driving refinement.
