The Peugeot Landtrek gets minor design updates and a new 2.2L diesel.
Peugeot has introduced the latest iteration of its Landtrek pick-up truck, building on a rich heritage of commercial vehicles that dates back to the 1938 Peugeot 202. The 2020 model represents a significant evolution in the company’s one-ton pick-up segment, targeting markets primarily in Africa, the Middle East, and South America.
The new Landtrek distinguishes itself through a carefully crafted combination of design, functionality, and technological innovation. Externally, the vehicle showcases Peugeot’s modern design language, featuring a distinctive vertical grille with the brand’s emblem and sophisticated LED lighting. The truck comes in multiple configurations, including single and double cabin options, catering to both professional and leisure markets.
At the heart of the new Landtrek is a powerful 2.2-litre Multijet Diesel engine generating 200 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. This engine can be paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual, providing flexibility for different driving preferences. The vehicle also offers additional powertrain options, including a 1.9-litre Diesel and a 2.4-litre Petrol engine, ensuring broad market appeal.
Technological advancement is evident in the Landtrek’s interior, which features a 10-inch HD touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The digital instrument cluster and intuitive toggle switches enhance the driving experience, while the spacious cabin can accommodate up to six passengers comfortably.
The truck’s robust capabilities extend to its off-road performance, with a 4X4 transmission option featuring four driving modes: Normal, Sport, Snow, and Sand. Advanced safety features include automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot detection. The vehicle can handle challenging terrains with impressive specifications, including a 600 mm wading depth and ground clearance up to 235 mm.
Practical utility remains a key focus, with the Landtrek offering exceptional cargo flexibility. The cargo bed can accommodate two or three Euro pallets depending on the configuration, and the payload capacity reaches up to 1,400 kg. Additionally, the truck can tow up to 3,500 kg, making it suitable for both work and recreational purposes.
Peugeot has also emphasized personalization, offering 60 accessories to adapt the Landtrek to specific market and customer needs. This approach reflects the brand’s commitment to providing a versatile and adaptable vehicle that can meet diverse requirements across different regions and industries.
The Landtrek represents more than just a new vehicle; it’s a continuation of Peugeot’s long-standing tradition of producing robust, practical, and innovative commercial vehicles that combine performance, comfort, and functionality.
