A new contender in the leisure double-cab bakkie segment has arrived in South Africa! Meet the Peugeot Landtrek!
The Peugeot Landtrek was born from a collaboration between Peugeot and Chinese manufacturer, Changan. It’s built on a new platform that also underpins the China-only Changan Kaicheng F70.
In South Africa, the Peugeot Landtrek will be offered in double-cab guise with a payload of 1.2 tons and a notable towing capacity of up to 3 tonnes. Ground clearance is pegged 235 mm with a wading depth of 600mm. The Landtrek also has an approach angle of 29-degrees, a departure angle of 27-degrees and a break over angle of 25-degrees.
The Landtrek’s interior appears to be quite nice, don’t you think?
Inside, the Landtrek actually looks quite impressive and many of the features are taken straight from Peugeot’s parts bin including a steering wheel from the 3008 and the 10-inch touchscreen from the 508 along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability and a 10GB hard drive. Standard feature specification appears to be quite generous with a 360-degree camera system (up to 4 cameras can be fitted) and dual-zone climate control included in the mix. A total of 6 airbags, electronic stability control, lane departure warning, Trailer Sway Control and hill descent control are also part of the standard kit.
Other useful features include a height-adjustable driver’s seat and rake and reach adjustable steering wheel. A total of 27-litres of storage space is offered in the cabin.
The Landtrek can be had in either 4×2 or 4×4 guise and in South Africa, is powered by a 1.9-litre turbodiesel engine which develops 110 kW and 350 Nm of torque and comes mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission as standard. The Landtrek 4×4 derivatives are equipped with 4H and 4L modes to tackle various terrain as well as a rear differential with a eLocker system that can disengage automatically to gain more traction.
