Peugeot has sold more than 720,000 units of Boxer vans ever since its launch and the company has now come up with this 4×4 concept to probably see how much interest it generates.
According to Peugeot, the first challenge was to get out of the traditional world of camper vans and showcase a unique vision for this type of vehicle. The exterior is painted in Wanderlust Green with satin finish while the rear of the body has some interesting chrome & Mint graphics that flow into the walnut canoe on the roof.
Other noticeable exterior features are 8 LED modules just above the windscreen; these are taken from the 508, and BF Goodrich off-road tyres. There’s also an electrically-assisted mountain bike from the latest generation of Peugeot eBikes, painted in Mint color that contrasts with the matt black doors.
The Mint color has been carried over to the interiors, contrasting with the soothing theme and Greval Grey upholstery. Special work has gone into choosing the materials: the table, the worktop and the sink are made of Aragonite white natural mineral, which apparently combines the hardness of natural stone with the beauty of ceramic, while the entire floor is made of 100 percent recycled and recyclable materials.
The plastics used are made up of 85 percent car tank, 10 percent milk bottle, and 5 percent of various items such as soap bottle. Built on a Peugeot Boxer L3, the 4×4 concept is designed for 3 people. There are 4 zones, with a kitchen and dining area, a sleeping area, a bathroom, and the driver’s station.
Other features include a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, Waze real-time traffic information, and multiviews from the HD cameras.
In case you’re wondering, the Boxer 4×4 is not an electric van. It is powered by a BlueHDi (diesel) engine with 165 hp and 370 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The concept features Dangel transmission with a transfer case at the front. There are 3 modes available – 2WD, 4WD, and Lock mode that locks the rear axle. The ground clearance is 30 mm higher at the front and 50 mm higher at the rear.
