Peugeot Landtrek vs Toyota Hiace
Verdict
The Peugeot Landtrek is the cheaper, more off-road-biased buy at RM120,072, with five seats, all-wheel drive, eight airbags and a lower RM404 annual road tax. The Toyota Hiace costs RM169,000, but it is a much larger 10-seater commercial vehicle with a 2.8-litre diesel making 175 hp and 450 Nm. Both use diesel engines, conventional automatics and get five-year warranties, while neither has auto emergency braking. For Malaysian buyers, this is less about brand and more about job scope.
Pick the Peugeot Landtrek if you want a five-seat diesel pick-up with all-wheel drive, a lower purchase price and lower annual road tax.
Pick the Toyota Hiace if you need 10 seats, a larger commercial body and stronger 175 hp/450 Nm diesel output.
