Honda Civic vs Peugeot Landtrek
Verdict
The Honda Civic is the sharper road car on paper: 180 hp, 1,349 kg and a quoted 8.3-second 0-100 km/h time suit daily Malaysian commuting better than a 2,095 kg pickup. The Peugeot Landtrek answers with 350 Nm, all-wheel drive, a ladder frame, an 80-litre tank and a full-size spare, so it is the working choice. Price favours the Landtrek at RM120,072 against RM133,900, but the Civic gets Honda Sensing with autonomous braking, adaptive cruise and a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty.
Pick the Honda Civic if you want a C-segment sedan with stronger horsepower, lower road tax and more driver assistance for town and highway use.
Pick the Peugeot Landtrek if you need a diesel pickup with all-wheel drive, more torque, a larger tank and a full-size spare.
