Facelifted Peugeot Landtrek now available in SA

The facelifted Peugeot Landtrek range has arrived in Mzansi featuring updated styling and enhanced features.

The exterior of this French load-lugger gains a sleeker appearance courtesy of a remodelled vertical radiator grille with the new Peugeot emblem set in the centre. This striking feature is flanked by a new pair of LED daytime running lights in the shape of the carmaker’s iconic claws.

There’s also an updated lower skid-plate and re-profiled fog lamp bezels with a gloss black finish.

Riding on new alloy wheels with a star-shaped centre, the rear of the revised Landtrek distinguishes itself from the outgoing model with an all-new bumper design, new Peugeot script lettering across the tailgate and 3D effect taillamps.

A host of personalisation options are available, including thermoformed cargo bed protection, a glazed hardtop, chrome roll bar, protective mats and running boards.

Inside the cabin, Landtrek customers can look forward to a sleek dashboard design home to a 10-inch central touchscreen infotainment system. Depending on the model variant, this interface offers enhanced widgets and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

Below the central screen resides an array of toggle switches, which provide access to essential vehicle functions. Complementing this is a new seven-inch digital instrument and a re-engineered steering wheel with adaptive cruise control switchgear and the latest Peugeot emblem.

The Landtrek double-cab can hold two Euro pallets in its generously sized load bed (1.6m x 1.6m x 500mm). — The Landtrek double-cab can hold two Euro pallets in its generously sized load bed (1.6 m x 1.60m x 500mm). (Supplied)

While overseas markets benefit from a more potent 2.2l diesel engine, South African Landtrek derivatives are still offered exclusively with the familiar 1.9l four-cylinder turbodiesel motor producing 110kW and 350Nm of torque.

Depending on the model, this powertrain is meshed to either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission and a choice of 4x2 or 4x4 drivetrains. The latter ups the off-roading ante with a low-range transfer case, automatic eLocker rear differential and a generous 235mm of ground clearance.

On the flagship 4action 4X4 version a 360º off-road camera helps drivers overcome gnarly obstacles and narrow spaces.
