Peugeot 408 vs Peugeot Landtrek
Verdict
The Peugeot 408 costs RM146,055, so it is RM25,983 dearer than the RM120,072 Peugeot Landtrek, but it buys a quicker, more car-like package: 215 hp, an eight-speed auto, front-wheel drive and a 7-year/200,000 km warranty. The Landtrek counters as a proper pickup with 350 Nm, all-wheel drive, ladder-frame construction, an 80-litre tank and a 360-degree camera. For town and highway use, the 408 has the cleaner safety and running-cost case; for size, diesel torque and truck hardware, the Landtrek makes more sense.
Pick the Peugeot 408 if you want the stronger 215 hp petrol engine, eight-speed automatic, lower RM90 road tax and longer 7-year/200,000 km warranty.
Pick the Peugeot Landtrek if you need a pickup body, all-wheel drive, 350 Nm of diesel torque, a ladder frame and an 80-litre fuel tank.
