Peugeot Boxer Low Loader Review

Peugeot Boxer Low Loader At A Glance

Modern van designs can’t be accused of lacking detail or thoughtful extras, and the Peugeot Boxer Low Loader certainly doesn’t neglect the important optional features you would expect. A bulkier modern model with an attractive and streamlined design, this is undeniably a user-friendly van. The Boxer Low Loader variant may not be the most well-rounded vehicle available to acquire, but the countless mix and match options are a solid selling-point. From body sizes, optional comfort features and even design considerations which can be altered, this multipurpose tradesperson van is certainly a worthy contender, available to customise at your convenience.

For environmentally considerate drivers, the electric Peugeot Boxer variant may be desirable, with a reasonable range and inexpensive running costs. Body styles vary, and with 5 different variables, there’s freedom of choice to deck out a fleet with the ideal shape and storage capacity. Though the driving experience is perhaps dated, with handling and road usability generally better within competitors, a very wide load space and tech aplenty make the Boxer a road-ready low loader for the most part, as Peugeot continues to adapt their flagship models for 21st Century driving.

The lowered chassis is of course to be expected within a low loader variant, without tail lifts required for easy loading of heavy or cumbersome items. Brilliant for anyone tasked with regularly transporting heavier objects, check the Van Sales UK online catalogue, or continue reading and cast your gaze over the notable benefits and disadvantages of this recognisable road van.

Engines and Spec

Though the specifications will remain largely similar from body type to body type, the unique variants will each retain features and measurements which are worth a glance. As standard, the van measures in at 4150 mm lengthwise, with a capable width externally of 2184 mm. This places the Peugeot Boxer Low Loader generally on the larger side, rendering the internal height to be roughly 2682 mm overall. As a result of this spacious interior, you can expect a satisfactory 1400 kg payload within the original and most similar variants.

All powered by a 2.2 litre engine, the Boxer Low Loader possess a fuel economy which is fairly poor in non-electric models, but up to 154 miles of range within the electric model act as solid encouragement to go green – saving money in the process. The very wide load space is supported by additional cab compartment options, for those who prefer to keep certain essentials close-to-hand.

All-in-all, the specifications of the Peugeot Boxer Low Loader are on par with other similarly priced van competitors, excelling in terms of space and payload, but perhaps lacking the raw power of other widely-available van variants. An economical electric option adds to the already-varied fleet selection, while you may want to consider used vehicles or part-exchange options for even more savings.

Interior

Interior features on the luxury and safety side of the spectrum are all you could possibly want, with Peugeot’s recognisable in-cab tech a particular highlight. While optional load area lighting, internal lockable storage units and handy reversing cameras are highly usable, the pure essentials will come as standard  within any model you choose. Integrated navigation features are simple to use, and the 5″ touchscreen has a usable interface and clean dashboard presentation. Variable assisted power steering, gear shift indicator and electric mirrors and windows complete the package.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Variety is a clear priority
• Electric variant is fantastic value for money
• Low loader functionality is seamless

Cons

• Bulky design means that other low loaders may be more road ready
• Poor fuel economy within conventional standard model
• Clunky driving experience

The Verdict

Though some of the cons listed above may be seen as somewhat of a dealbreaker for those who spend prolonged periods on the roads, the countless mix and match design and storage options are a firm selling-point. Plenty of low loaders are lacking in the driver-experience category, so we commend Peugeot for designing the Boxer in this manner.
