The largest of Peugeots extensive fleet of LCVs, the Boxer carries a suitably heavyweight title. Produced at the Val di Sangro plant in Atessa, Italy along with its sister vehicles the Fiat Ducato and Citroen Jumper, the Boxer has been in production for over 18 years.
In fact, the Boxer is identical to the Ducato and the Jumper. Fiats Ducato came first, making its debut back in 1981 with bodywork completely unrecognisable to the smooth lines and sleek profile seen on the latest model.
By time the Ducato was due for an overhaul in 1994, plans were afoot to release the vehicle under the Peugeot and Citroen badges, so the second generation saw the introduction of the Jumper and of course the Boxer.
The Peugeot Boxer served admirably in fleets across the country for 12 years, before it too needed an overhaul. The second generation of the Boxer and consequently the third generation of the Ducato could carry an impressive maximum payload of 4.0 tonnes and featured a wheelbase of over four metres in its longest specification.
The latest Boxer features the Multijet engine as standard an engine only available on later updates of the Boxers first generation. The engine size of the Boxer varies; a 2.2 litre Multijet version is available, as well as two 2.3 litre versions and a 3.0 litre Multijet Power version. All run on diesel.
