Inside, the Vivaro can seat up to six people, while the Boxer opts for a more traditional three-seat configuration, emphasizing its role as primarily a cargo transporter.
The choice between the Opel Vivaro and the Peugeot Boxer ultimately hinges on specific business or personal needs. The Vivaro serves well for those seeking modern innovation with a blend of modest capacity and efficiency. Conversely, the Boxer caters to those requiring heavy-duty performance and significant carrying capacity, with particularly impressive electric range offerings.
