Mitsubishi Triton vs Peugeot Landtrek
Verdict
The Mitsubishi Triton is the harder-working mechanical pick here: 2,442 cc, 179 hp and 430 Nm, with a manual gearbox and all-wheel drive. The Peugeot Landtrek costs RM18,092 more, but it gives you five seats instead of two, an automatic gearbox, eight airbags and a larger 80-litre tank. For a Malaysian buyer, this is less about badge and more about usage. The Triton suits load-first buyers who want the stronger diesel; the Landtrek makes more sense if the pick-up also has to carry family or staff.
Pick the Mitsubishi Triton if you want the stronger diesel output, manual control and a lower purchase price, and two seats are enough.
Pick the Peugeot Landtrek if you need five seats, an automatic gearbox and more airbags in one diesel all-wheel-drive pick-up.
