Overview
The Peugeot E-Boxer sits as the largest fully electric commercial vehicle in Peugeot's van lineup, catering to businesses requiring heavy-duty haulage and zero tailpipe emissions. Sharing its Stellantis large van platform with sibling vehicles from Citroën, Vauxhall, and Fiat, the updated E-Boxer has undergone a major powertrain overhaul, addressing the limited range and low motor output of earlier generations. It directly competes in the large electric panel van market against the Ford E-Transit, Mercedes-Benz eSprinter, and Renault Master E-Tech. Designed to grant unobstructed access to urban Low Emission Zones, it balances massive cargo volumes with lower long-term fleet running costs.
Design
The exterior of the E-Boxer mirrors the functional, robust styling of its diesel counterparts, featuring Peugeot's updated commercial design language. The front fascia is anchored by a redesigned, body-coloured grille incorporating Peugeot's modern shield emblem, flanked by redesigned headlamps with signature LED daytime running lights. Unpainted front bumpers and wide side rubbing strips remain to protect against minor impacts. Offered in L3 and L4 body lengths alongside H2 and H3 roof heights, its utilitarian boxy silhouette is tailored strictly for maximum interior space. The aerodynamic kit, subtle zero-emission badges, and 16-inch steel wheels distinguish its place as the top-tier electric model in the range.
Interior
Inside the cabin, the updated E-Boxer trades its old basic layout for a far more modernized setup focused on driver ergonomics and connectivity. The driver faces a full 7-inch digital instrument cluster and dominating the dashboard is a 10-inch HD central touchscreen display equipped with 3D connected navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto. Physical gear selector buttons for Drive, Neutral, and Reverse replace a traditional gear stick, while steering wheel paddles allow quick adjustments of the regenerative braking levels. Cabin storage is exceptionally thorough, offering an overhead storage shelf, large door pockets, central cup holders, a dedicated smartphone shelf with wireless charging, and a fold-out central seat back table.
Performance & Powertrains
Powering the E-Boxer is a vastly improved front-mounted electric motor delivering 270 hp and 410 Nm of instant torque. Energy is supplied by a massive 110 kWh battery pack. This powertrain configuration provides a maximum range of up to 263 miles on a full charge. Rapid DC charging capabilities operate at up to 150 kW, allowing a 0–80% charge replenishment in approximately 55 minutes at public fast chargers. For depot or workplace AC replenishment, an 11 kW three-phase onboard charger comes as standard, completing a 0–100% full charge overnight in under 12 hours. Acceleration is linear and significantly smoother than before, providing responsive towing and seamless load hauling on both urban streets and motorways.
Practicality
The E-Boxer maintains its complete load-carrying capabilities by positioning the battery under the floor, ensuring zero degradation of usable volume compared to internal combustion engine variants. Available panel van configurations yield usable load volumes ranging from 13 cubic metres in L3H2 configuration up to a massive 17 cubic metres in the L4H3 body style. Maximum payload capacity reaches up to 1,385 kg depending on gross vehicle weight setup. Loading accessibility is facilitated via a standard nearside sliding side load door and rear unglazed twin doors opening to 180 degrees, with optional 270-degree hinges available. The cargo area features up to 10 tie-down rings, a full steel bulkhead for driver safety, and low load sill heights between 535 mm and 565 mm to assist manual loading.
Buying
Pricing for the Peugeot E-Boxer starts from £44,485 (excluding VAT) for the entry L3H2 panel van in Professional trim. The higher-capacity L4 versions top out around £46,915 (ex. VAT) after the PiVG discount. Available across Professional and Asphalt specification trims, standard equipment includes key safety features such as Active Safety Brake, Lane Departure Warning, driver fatigue monitoring, and speed sign recognition. The EV Hub recommended configuration is the L3H2 110kWh Professional. This trim provides the optimal balance between a 13 m³ cargo floor length, a competitive 1,385 kg payload limit, and the maximum 263-mile driving range without stepping up to the extra purchase cost and physical overhang of L4 body lengths.
