Smooth acceleration is appreciated whether you have a previous
2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine or new 2.0 litre
Peugeot Boxer falls in the segment of
3.5-tonne van and is one of the best in payload ratings. Then it also has
impressive fuel average so search for Peugeot
Boxer second-hand engines for sale is higher. In refinement modern rivals do better so you find
it noisy and not very refined.
The engine of the van is paired with
manual speed transmissions and you will find them good to run this vehicle. Auto speed transmissions
are not offered even in a list of optional features. The van performs well with
six-speed Peugeot Boxer Transmissions
and front-wheel-drive configuration.
It has Euro 5 and Euro 6 compliance
power units which have great pulling muscle. Long-distance travelling in
Peugeot Boxer is tiring and drivers find new competitors better than it in
terms of driving. Smooth acceleration is appreciated whether you have a
previous 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine or new 2.0-litre Blue-HDi turbo-diesel
engine.
Without making a special effort it
proves good enough to keep pace with traffic while running on the motorway.
Turning circle and manoeuvring on busy roads is also impressive so driving it
is not altogether as tough as one thinks. The cabin has not been made free of
noise so not only engine sound but road noise too get in the cabin.
It is so even at a moderate speed so
you cannot avoid it. This drawback creates unwanted cheap impression because
new vans are refined and their cabins are devoid of unwanted sounds. Keeping it
straight on motorway speed is not without effort so long drive makes you tired.
It is also good for the driver to
manage
When there is no load in the van then
it is rather bouncy as the suspension becomes harsh, specifically when you
Boxer have heavy-duty suspension. If Peugeot Boxer engines UK become
refined and the cabins quieter then these motors must have better ratings.
As you get some weight in the back
area it gets smoother so there are limitations to comfortable drive of Peugeot
Boxer which is not compared with Land Rover and
Range Rover. To enhance visibility drivers can ask for the reverse camera or
parking sensors. Door mirrors are large in size and offer a split view. Side
windows are divided with a panel which obstructs visibility so visibility is
not ideal.
Front bumper length is another issue
for the driver. Cabin though not quiet but offer ample space and this roomy
cabin is equipped with good amenities. When it was first launched it was
appreciated for a car like driving but with the time it failed to develop this
trait further.
Gear lever is closer to the driver’s
seat so middle seat passenger has good knee room which is usually not so. It is
also good for a driver to manage gear shifting so placement of gear lever gives
room to the middle passenger as well as making things easier for the driver.
Electric windows and CD/Radio facility
have been in the cabin from the early days of the vehicle. From 2016 onwards DAB
radio is also included in standard features. With expensive packages, you get
satellite navigation which is quite a good facility to reach destinations with
ease. Air-condition is also present these packages.
Vehicle service interval is 30,000km
The driver can adjust the seat in many
ways so he/she can get to the right position to hold the steering wheel. The
hand brake is on the right side of the driver so once again passenger in the
middle will not be disturbed. It is unusual but not annoying for the driver.
There are many spaces inside the cabin
for small things but most of them are without a lid. Overhead bin is available
in some models and door pockets are not user friendly when compared with
rivals. Materials brought in use are generally good so cabin builds quality is
acceptable but refinement and driving experience quality is not up to the mark.
Frugal engines encourage many to own
this vehicle or its engines and Peugeot Boxer engines fitting service is also
offered by the sellers. Vehicle service interval is 30,000km and it is for
Euro6 compliance engines of Boxer.
The overall impression one gets of the
vehicle is good as it offers reasonable features, fuel average and one of the
best payload. It is light in weight which also reduces running cost and use of
technology has minimized carbon emission to cut annual tax further.
Annual safety check-up is recommended
though
The claim of low fuel usage has been
made due to Blue HDI engine which surely proves these vehicles one of the most
economical vans of this size. Peugeot gives two years unlimited mileage
warranty on Boxer. This manufacturer’s warranty is extendable to one more year
if the buyer follows service intervals.
Vehicle
Inspection, annual safety check-up is
recommended though it is extended to two years or 30,000 miles. It has improved
6000 miles as Euro 5 engines of Boxer are recommended service after 24000
miles. Apart from standard features, you can get professional standard
equipment which includes an infotainment system with satellite navigation,
cruise control with speed limit option and rear parking sensors.
These amenities surely enhance the
driving experience and safety. Reliability of diesel engines of Boxer vans is
good because no significant problems or issues are reported regarding their
performance. Steering wheel stiffness complaint has been surfaced by many
drivers and brake efficiency issues are also reported.
