As Crusader Vans proudly celebrates 20 years of van leasing expertise in 2024, we take a closer look at the Peugeot Boxer’s latest evolution. The true king in Peugeot’s van line-up, the Boxer undergoes a facelift, ensuring it retains its rightful place as a heavyweight contender in the large panel van sector.
Overview of the Peugeot Boxer
The Peugeot Boxer is the largest panel van in the Peugeot Stable, and while it has a legacy, consistent updates have kept it highly competitive and always terrific van leasing value. The 2024 facelift introduces Euro 6 engines, aligning with the latest emissions legislation. Furthermore. Peugeot ventures further into the electric domain with an off-the-shelf model, distinguishing itself from aftermarket conversions.
Enhanced Performance and Contemporary Styling
While it might not deliver the same driving experience as newer models like the Ford Transit, Volkswagen Crafter, or Mercedes Sprinter, the Boxer excels in overall price, specification, and practicality. The latest engines contribute to its prowess, making it a formidable choice.
Competing in a Diverse Field
In a market with contenders like the Renault Master (take a closer look at the new 2024 model here), and Vauxhall Movano, and its joint-venture siblings, the Citroen Relay and Fiat Ducato, the Peugeot Boxer stands out.
Distinctive Design
While the Peugeot Boxer’s running gear consistently receives updates, its distinctive exterior, featuring a floating grille, stylish headlamps, and optional LED running lights, has largely remained unchanged. The recent facelift adds a stylish closed-in grille, new bumper designs, and the brand’s updated logos, enhancing its visual appeal.
Interior Refinement and Equipment Boost
The interior of the Peugeot Boxer receives attention, focusing on improved fit and finish quality and the addition of more equipment. Although the boxer may not match the cabin quality or tech of some competitors, it compensates with a refreshed engine lineup and durability enhancements.
Versatility and Configurations

Load volumes span from 8 cubic metres in the L1 H1 model to 17 cubic metres in the L4 H3 version. Various configurations include chassis cabs, tippers, drop-side trucks, and crew cabs, adaptable to operator requirements.
Efficient Performance and Feature-Rich
The recent update introduces the 2.2 BlueHDi diesel with 120 and 140 power outputs adding efficiency with standard stop/start systems. While lacking an automatic gearbox option, the Grip model enhances capabilities with features like hill descent control, toughened suspension, underbody protection, and all-season tyres.
Brand New for 2024
Innovations extend to the 2024 Boxer’s 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine (121kW/310Nm) and the introduction of an eight-speed automatic transmission option alongside the six-speed manual. Upgrades also feature a new electric park brake, power steering system, keyless entry, a wireless phone charger, and a digital instrument cluster.
