Peugeot

Peugeot's Boxer is the brand's sole large van, built on the same underpinnings as the Citroen Relay and Fiat Ducato. It is offered in four lengths and three roof heights up to a 4.005t GVW derivative, which makes it a common base vehicle for Luton box, tipper and dropside conversions used by UK removals and trade operators.

How Peugeot compares

These are the makes buyers actually cross-shop against Peugeot.

Peugeot vs Ford Transit

The default British van, and the one most hire fleets are built around. Anyone who has driven a van has probably driven a Transit, which removes a whole category of friction from a one-day hire.

Peugeot vs Mercedes Sprinter

The large-van benchmark, and the chassis a great many Luton, box and specialist conversions start from. Where a job needs more length or payload than a Transit, this is usually what the fleet offers instead.

Peugeot vs Iveco

Where the van market runs into the truck market. The Daily is built on a truck-style chassis, so it carries more and tows more than a conventional van, which is why tipper and beavertail hire fleets stock them.

Peugeot vs Citroen

Citroen's Relay is the large-van sibling of the Peugeot Boxer and Fiat Ducato, sharing the same body and chassis architecture. UK buyers choose it mainly for its wide range of lengths and heights and towing capacities, making it a frequent base for Luton and other specialist conversions.

Peugeot vs Renault

Renault's van range centres on the Master (large) and Trafic (medium), both descended from Renault-designed platforms it shares under alliance agreements with Nissan and, for Master, with Vauxhall/Opel. UK buyers see Renault vans widely in removals and trade fleets, helped by competitive payload figures and long-standing dealer support for commercial customers.

Peugeot vs Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles

Volkswagen's van line splits into the mid-size Transporter and the large Crafter, both aimed at trades and fleet buyers who want car-like cabin quality. The Crafter is built with Ford's e-Transit-class rivals in mind, offered up to 5.0t GVW with front, rear or all-wheel drive. Resale values and dealer network size are frequently cited as reasons UK fleets choose VW over cheaper rivals.
