Verdict
The Maxus Terron 9 costs RM20,816 more than the Peugeot Landtrek, but its 2.5-litre diesel brings a substantial 221 hp and 520 Nm against 150 hp and 350 Nm. That is the meaningful mechanical gap for a Malaysian buyer carrying loads or travelling with five aboard, aided by its eight-speed automatic. The Landtrek is the more affordable route in, with an RM404 annual road tax bill versus RM839, and it brings a long, clearly detailed equipment list including blind-spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera. Pick on workload, not badge: the Terron 9 for output, the Landtrek for price and listed convenience kit.
Pick the Maxus Terron 9 if you will use the extra 71 hp, 170 Nm and two additional automatic ratios.
Pick the Peugeot Landtrek if lower upfront cost, RM435 lower annual road tax and listed driver-assistance equipment matter more than outright output.
