What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer’s opinion
Heading to the ADA Training and Outdoor facility to test the product off-road revealed that the Landtrek is very capable, as it breezed through the axle twisters, rocky climbs and muddy pits presented to us. We then took the 2×4 version on a gravel section to see how it handles excessive surface imperfections, and while there are more competent bakkies on gravel, the Peugeot acquits itself very well.

What is the Peugeot Landtrek like inside?
The interior of the Landtrek very much resembles that of the rest of the Peugeot model ranges, however, as can be expected on a more utilitarian model, more hard plastics have been incorporated into the cabin. Occupants can expect front and rear electric windows, front and rear USB ports, cruise control a multifunction steering wheel and a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system installed with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Style
The front end features a large grille with the signature Lion badge. This is flanked by large wraparound headlights that incorporate vertical daytime running lights that make the product look unmistakably, a Peugeot. On the Allure variant, owners can expect 17-inch alloy wheels to bolster the silhouette styling. The rear is fairly generic, as can be expected with a bakkie in this segment, however, sets itself apart with a large Lion logo and Peugeot nomenclature.
