Maxus V80 vs Peugeot Landtrek
Verdict
This is less a trim-to-trim fight than a body-style decision. The Maxus V80 is the cheaper, bigger work tool: 5,700 mm long, 2,383 mm wide, 2,552 mm tall and with only two seats. The Peugeot Landtrek is a five-seat pickup with 150 hp, 350 Nm, a 6-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, so it is the easier mixed-use choice. The Maxus gets an 80-litre tank too, but its RM839 road tax and 3-year warranty lose to the Peugeot’s RM404 and 5 years.
Pick the Maxus V80 if you need a large two-seat commercial van with a manual gearbox and lower purchase price.
Pick the Peugeot Landtrek if you want five seats, all-wheel drive, an automatic gearbox and much more safety kit.
