Are you looking for a vehicle to transport goods, an off-road adventure companion, or a comfortable ride for your family? Well, if you want a machine that serves all these purposes, then the Peugeot Landtrek appears as the right choice.

The Peugeot truck is a perfect blend of strength, practicality, and modern comfort, meeting all your professional and lifestyle needs.

Let’s dive deeper to understand how the Peugeot Landtrek is a reliable partner for work and family life.

Power and performance for every task

The Malaysia-spec Landtrek comes powered by a 1.9-litre Turbo diesel engine incorporating a variable geometry turbo-compressor and 16 valves. It generates a maximum power of 150 hp at 4,000 rpm and a peak torque of 350 Nm between 1,800-2,800 rpm. This efficient mill offers controlled mixed consumption, both empty and loaded, for a reduced daily use cost.

Enhancing the overall driving experience is the advanced suspension system, Eaton rear differential lock, 18-inch alloy wheels, and versatile drive modes - 2-Wheel Drive Rear (2H), 4-Wheel Drive (4H) or Four-Wheel Drive LOW (4L). 

The French pickup truck has optimised angles and ground clearance of 235 mm, which ensures smooth navigation over rough terrains. It can conquer steep inclines effortlessly thanks to a slope capacity of 42° and 90% ascent grade capability. The water wading depth is measured at 600 mm.

The vehicle features a spacious and versatile cargo bed, which can accommodate large or heavy items easily. Peugeot claims the Landtrek has the most roomy cargo deck in its category.  

The overall dimensions are as follows - 

Overall vehicle (LxWxH)	5,331 mm x 1,925 mm x 1,877 mm
Overall wheelbase	3,180
Cargo deck (LxWxH)	1.63 m x 1.60 m x 500 mm
Width between the wheel arch	1.22 m
Ground clearance	235 mm
Curb weight	2,095 kg

The payload capacity is also touted to be the best-in-class measuring at one tonne, while the towing capacity is estimated at up to 3 tonnes. These capabilities enable Landtrek to haul heavy machines and transport goods, making it a go-to choice for persons who work in the construction, agriculture, and logistics industries. 

Comfortable and tech-savvy interior

Unlike conventional pickup trucks that focus on function and not comfort, the Peugeot Landtrek offers the best of both worlds.

The five-seater cabin is kitted with super comfortable seats wrapped in leatherette upholstery. Both the driver and front passenger seat come with a 6-way power adjustability system and 2-way lumbar adjustment. The rear seats feature a 60:40 split fold adjustment.

Along with plush seats, the vehicle has premium materials and an ergonomic dashboard with a 10-inch capacitive touchscreen infotainment system at the centre. Making everything easier, the head unit allows the driver to access the vehicle’s settings with just one tap. It supports voice control, Bluetooth hands-free phone, audio capability, six audio speakers, and three USB ports. 

The occupants can also access favourite applications on the go thanks to Apple CarPlay & Android Auto compatibility.

The central unit helps in parking and maneuvering in tight spaces by displaying the 360-degree camera feed that offers Distance and Width Guidelines. It can be configured to activate automatically on detecting an obstacle.

Adding to the pickup’s unconventional interior styling are the leather-wrapped multi-functional steering wheel and piano-key style toggle switches that are within reach of the driver. 

Also, part of the creature comforts is a 4.2-inch colour display, cruise control, a dual-zone auto climate control system with rear air-con vents, two 12V power outlets, advanced keyless entry with engine start/stop button, map light, cabin light, external cargo area light, and rain-sensing windshield wipers with intermittent function.

Safety and reliability

When it comes to safety, you get a strong built quality and an array of advanced systems designed to protect both occupants and cargo. These include - 

• 6 airbags: Front Driver & Passenger, Side and Curtain
• ISOFIX points
• Dynamic Stability Control 
• Anti-Skid Regulation 
• Electronic Brake-Force Distribution
• Electronic Stability Program 
• Trailer Swing Control
• Hill Start Assist
• Lane Departure Warning System
• Tyre pressure monitoring system

With these safety gears, the Landtrek emerges as a secure choice for businesses and families that prioritize safety.

Versatility: A perfect work-life balance 

Built for work and leisure, the Peugeot Landtrek can seamlessly adapt to different roles. With a large cargo bed, it can be your perfect work companion, allowing you to carry heavy goods with ease. And after a tough day at work, it offers you a relaxing ride home. 

The well-appointed and spacious cabin is perfect for your family's needs as it can accommodate all daily essentials, groceries, and luggage for weekend getaways. 

For off-road enthusiasts, the Landtrek can be a great fit as it can tackle rough terrains with all-wheel drive capability, sturdy tyres, and high ground clearance. 

Conclusion

All-in-all, the Peugeot Landtrek is more than a utility vehicle that bridges the gap between functionality and comfort. Backed by Peugeot's reputation for building durable vehicles, it is perfect for your work and family life.
