Safety Rundown
ANCAP safety ratings have not been published for both models yet. We will update this section when crash test results are available.
Feature Showdown
Both come with modern infotainment systems. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The Fiat Ducato stands out with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and wireless charging that you will not find on the Peugeot Boxer. The Peugeot Boxer counters with Apple CarPlay. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Drivetrain
The Fiat Ducato uses a 2.2L Turbo Diesel producing 132kW and 450Nm of torque, sent through a 8-speed automatic to a FWD layout.
The Peugeot Boxer responds with a 2.2L BlueHDi turbo-diesel making 132kW and 450Nm, paired to a 8-speed automatic (eat8) driving the front wheels.
Power output is identical on paper, so the difference comes down to tuning, weight distribution, and suspension. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Fiat Ducato measures 5,413mm long on a 3,450mm wheelbase, 585mm shorter than the Peugeot Boxer at 5,998mm (4,035mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Peugeot Boxer generally means more rear legroom.
For towing, the Peugeot Boxer leads with a 3,000kg braked capacity vs 2,500kg. That 500kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
