The 2018-2019 Peugeot Boxer is a new generation all-metal van that has a large payload capacity and some technical characteristics, in particular low fuel consumption and different design options. The variety of configurations (various wheelbases, overall dimensions and roof heights) makes this model an ideal solution for those who need a reliable, durable and spacious commercial vehicle.
Options
Today, in the car dealerships of the official dealer of the French automaker in Moscow, FAVORIT MOTORS Group, eight different van configurations are available. The most compact version (L1H1 330) has a wheelbase of 3000 mm and overall dimensions of 4963x2050x2253 mm. This car is particularly maneuverable (its turning circle from wall to wall is only 11.44 meters) and has 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: the body volume in this case will be 17 cubic meters, and the payload will be 1870 kilograms. The dimensions of the Peugeot Boxer have increased to 6363x2050x2760 mm, the wheelbase has increased 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 meet modern standards of commercial vehicles, because advanced engineering technologies were used in the manufacture of the model. The engine used on all versions of the car is a four-stroke diesel power unit with a volume of 2.2 liters and a power of 130 hp. 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, which is convenient in the “ragged” mode of the city and on long highways. Gears are engaged clearly, smooth acceleration saves diesel fuel. Fuel consumption will impress owners of even passenger cars; in city mode it does not exceed 11 liters per 100 km, and 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 the new generation of van, the manufacturer paid maximum attention to the reliability and durability of the Peugeot Boxer components. High-strength steel is used as the material for the body. Especially for bad roads, the car is equipped with a reinforced suspension (independent front with telescopic shock absorbers, coil springs, wishbones and anti-roll bar).
Peugeot Boxer, 2017, mileage 84 thousand km, cargo van. A work van with a maximum load of 1200 kg - it pulls well, the suspension holds, but the rubber bands wear out quickly. The engine is not bad, it pulls from the bottom, it is picky about fuel, the injectors are quickly killed by crappy diesel, the originals are not cheap at all. The consumption for the first 50 thousand was 9-11 liters per hundred square meters, now it happens that it reaches 14, you can immediately see that the engine’s service life is coming up, it just started knocking and is not very stable at idle. As far as the chassis is concerned, the only complaints are about the suspension - it gets killed quickly, this is understandable because my standard load - 900 kg - sags differently on the rear axle, I specially note it for myself. The big problem with it is the control unit - it’s located in such a way that after every rain/snow it floods, no matter how many times you close it, there’s still moisture inside, the first time I didn’t know about it and stupidly couldn’t start in the morning after the rain, many have these blocks they burn dully. The 3.5 body metal is not thin, but in the place of the chip it turns red very quickly, you need to keep an eye on it, it’s also better to wash the bottom more often because all the metal salts are eaten quickly.
Since 2015, a Peugeot Boxer, mileage 204 thousand km, cargo cmph, load capacity 1200 kg, purchased new for work. The interior is comfortable, everything is there for the driver, the seat is comfortable, the steering is acceptable, it holds in traffic, the engine always has enough pickup, the consumption has never risen above 18 liters. I did a lot of extra work on the car, there were a lot of repairs, there are some problems, the van is not perfect, sometimes it brings problems. It happened that after heavy rain in the morning I couldn’t start the car, there was voltage on the battery, the fuses were intact, but there was no reaction from the car, the control unit was flooded, as it turned out later, which I had a month later and burned out, a new unit and setup cost 40 thousand. Since this is a diesel engine, there are often problems with the fuel system; it is better to wash it at every maintenance, as it clogs and the engine suffocates, risking jamming. It is precisely for this reason that at about 120 thousand mileage I had to overhaul the engine, completely replace the attachment, fuel injection pump and partly the fuel system; if it weren’t for the diesel engine, then perhaps the engine would have lived longer. The paintwork is weak, when driving carefully on the highway I don’t catch stones, but the body sandblasts a lot, the whole hood is matte, the arches and bottoms of the doors suffer, they started to rust after the first winter. For a Peugeot of three, considering that I took it out on credit and haven’t paid it off yet, but I’m already investing in it.
In principle, the car is more or less normal, but there are problems for which I would not buy it a second time. In the cabin there is not a convenient shelf above your head that you constantly hit your head on, the location of the handbrake on the left side is not convenient for me, there is not enough space under the hood which makes repairs difficult, I don’t understand where the washer filler neck is at all, you need to have magic to fill the liquid there, I bought the car second-hand and the year doesn’t seem to be long, but everything in the cabin is already worn out and shabby, apparently the materials are also not of the best quality.
I bought a boxer a year ago. 2016 The mileage was 180 thousand. The first impression was good, the car drives briskly and is responsive to drive. The problems started after 20 thousand, I discovered an oil leak, the antifreeze was also leaking, and the check light came on. I’ll say right away that with the search for a normal service where the boxers are well known, the provinces are full. In addition to changing the oil and filters, we changed the intake gaskets where there was a leak, antifreeze was leaking from under the sealing ring, the rings are not sold separately, we had to take it with a pump. We went through the chassis - pads, silents, balls. At the 2nd maintenance, I replaced the air flow sensor and the chip, cleaned the injectors, changed the rear discs, handbrake pads, tips, camber. Plus there were some small expenses. As a result, in a year I’ve already invested a hundred kopecks and I feel it’s not the end. I won’t say that I took a dead car, it was normal, when I took it I called a diagnostician, the mileage was real. The boxer turns out to be very expensive for me to maintain. I'll see how it goes, but I'm not happy with the cost of repairs.
Light trucks of the Peugeot Boxer brand are popular cars from a foreign manufacturer in the domestic market. Boxer models are high quality, and at the same time their market price is affordable in comparison with similar cars produced under other European brands. The technical characteristics of the Peugeot Boxer provide many options for owners. Machines are widely used for both personal and business purposes.
Peugeot Boxer body styles
The car is available in the following body types:
- van;
- chassis;
- cargo-passenger;
- minibus.
Van. Common body design. It is used for transporting equipment, food, furniture and other goods, as well as for transporting people. Van-type vehicles are excellent for working in emergency services (ambulance, rescue services).
Chassis. Universal body type. A high load capacity of up to 1900 kg and the ability to mount special equipment on the frame allow you to perform various tasks on vehicles with a chassis body. They are used as a tow truck and flatbed platform. They are often modified into refrigerators, insulated vans, dump trucks, and tanks.
Cargo-passenger. This body combines the advantages of a cargo van and a minibus. Peugeot Boxer Combi cars are an excellent alternative to a minivan, only with more space. The combined model can accommodate up to 9 passenger seats with various options for their location. Branded seats are covered with high-quality finishing and come in two types: soft and hard. Quick-release fasteners are provided especially for this model.
Minibus. A body option for passenger transportation with a high level of comfort, which allows you to change the interior configuration. The Peugeot Boxer Tour Transformer model is equipped with folding sofas that can be moved to free up space for other needs. As a result of such manipulations, the interior of the minibus can easily be transformed into a mobile office for negotiations, a room for an overnight stay and a cargo van.

Interpretation of the Peugeot Boxer FV 330 L2H1 2.2 HDI 100 model markings
To distinguish models, the manufacturer uses special letter markings:
- F.V.– body type designation: F.T.– all-metal van; CHC– chassis; Comby– cargo-passenger (in this case a glazed van is presented);
- 330 – total weight of the car - 3000 kg (333 – 3300 kg; 335 – 3500 kg; 440 – 4400 kg);
- L– length of the cargo part of the car (L1 – 2.67 m; L2 – 3.12 m; L3 – 3.705 m; L4 – 4.07 m);
- H– maximum permissible load height (H1 – 1.662 m; H2 – 1.932 m; H3 – 2.172 m);
- 2 HDI 100– capacity, type and power of the engine (in this case presented: turbodiesel – type; 2.2 l. – capacity; 100 hp. – power).
Car device
The Peugeot Boxer model is designed and manufactured 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 double galvanic coating and 5 layers of a special protective composition. This approach reliably protects the truck from corrosion.
The 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 vehicle control in general. Even in the original configuration of the Boxer, a modern anti-lock braking system is provided, and the model can be further equipped 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 many adjustments, which allows you to drive the vehicle with ease. Initially, the model is equipped with external electrically adjustable and electrically heated mirrors. Each mirror consists of 2 elements (one spherical) - this reduces “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.
Peugeot Boxer salons are more comfortable and roomy than those of competitors, this is due to the leaders of the French automobile industry, since they really give preference to ergonomic indicators. The model is equipped only with advanced equipment and a powerful traction motor, which is capable of accelerating even a loaded vehicle to maximum speed in a short time with low fuel consumption.
But the Peugeot Boxer model also has disadvantages that are associated with the adaptation of a European car to domestic roads, temperatures and quality of maintenance. Particularly problematic components of the Peugeot Boxer in Russian operating conditions are steering ends, electronics and ball joints. The car takes a long time to warm up in winter, but the interior still remains cold.
Spacious, comfortable and elegant commercial vehicles Peugeot Boxer fully comply with European standards of safety, quality and efficiency.

Peugeot Boxer body dimensions and repairs»> 
What is a Peugeot Boxer? This is a French commercial vehicle, stylish and comfortable, like everything European. An elegant means of passenger transportation fully meets the requirements of quality and efficiency. Today, many are interested in the dimensions of the “Frenchman”, the dimensions of its body, height, cost of repairs and much more. Let's try to find out.
A little history
Peugeot Boxer replaced the J5 model. It appeared in 1994, after the successful development of the Sevel enterprise, which attracted qualified specialists from Fiat and Peugeot Citroen. As a result of this collaboration, it was possible to produce three cars identical in exterior and design, but different in terms of technical capabilities: 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 as a light-duty truck, simply as a chassis, and, of course, as a minibus for passenger transport.
Power plants deserve special attention. Interestingly, the lineup includes 5 diesel engines with different cubic capacity and power. There was also one 2.0 liter gasoline unit with a capacity of 110 horses. 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 buyer’s choice and the technical capabilities of the vehicle, in particular.
- The body length of the “French” could be different, depending on the modification, but did not exceed 638 cm.
- The Boxer's 202cm width provided good roominess.
- The height of the Peugeot Boxer frame could also be different, depending on the modification, but did not exceed 286 cm.
Boxer for cargo transportation
An interesting thing about the body theme is the change in style, carried out eight years after the release of the first Boxer. The modernization affected the buffers, the radiator grille and some of the interior. Specifically, this is what happened.
- Optics appear that are larger than before.
- Plastic linings on the body are used on both sides.
Regarding the general semi-restyling: new power plants are appearing.
Second generation
The Boxer experienced a real restyling in 2006, when the second generation of the “French” was officially introduced. It is still produced in factories in Europe. An interesting analogue of the Boxer is produced by a Mexican plant called Peugeot Manager, as well as a Russian analogue assembled from imported vehicle kits.
The second generation underwent virtually no changes, except for the engines. Power plants were initially installed in two versions: a 2.2-liter diesel engine with 101 and 120 horses, as well as a 3-liter diesel engine with 158 horses.
Six years ago they were replaced by motors with more advanced capabilities and better efficiency. In particular, we are talking about 2.2- and 3-liter units with different capacities.
