Peugeot Landtrek Allure Review

The Landtrek double cab was launched in SA at the end of 2021 in 2 models offering 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains. Aimed squarely at the leisure market, they offer plenty of space and comfort as well as a very comfortable ride in all conditions.
Our test vehicle was the 4x2 version dubbed Allure. This still offers very high spec with combination leather and cloth seats, large infotainment screen with Android Auto and Apple Carplay, dual zone climate control and all the other refinements that one expects from modern vehicles.
All models are powered by a 1.9l 4 cylinder turbodiesel providing 110kW and 350Nm to the rear wheels, in this case, through a very smooth 6 speed automatic transmission. Eco, normal and sport modes are available at the press of a button.
Our test routine included a visit to the farm so our 60km stretch of dirt road was covered in comfort and with the vehicle always tracking easily and very little bouncing around, even on the rougher sections. Large pools of standing water were easily forged and care taken through muddy sections.
Driving around on the farm roads was easy, although the sheer size of the Landtrek can cause some concern when trying to drive through narrow sections of road lined by bushes and shrubs.
The next facet of the test was putting a load on the rear. Approximately 700kg, noting that the Landtrek is rated for a load in excess of 1 ton. We stuck to tar roads for this part of the test and the weight on the rear was barely noticeable. Perhaps the only difference noted was when pulling off from a standing start, otherwise the vehicle still cruised very comfortably at 120km/ hour.
Fuel economy for the farm trip, including the loaded return trip was 8.5l/ 100km. At the end of the test period that then included another 400km of general and urban driving, the economy for the entire period was 8.6l/100km.
Currently priced at R579 900 as tested, the 4x4 Active model is R669 900. A 5 year/ 100 000km service plan is included.

It reminds me of the glory days of tough Peugeot bakkies like the legendary 404 and 504. Great write up on a car that has the right stuff where and when you need it.

[@MotorMatters]

Thank you, it certainly has a great legacy to follow.

Great review, good sound, love the car. It's bold looking and different...

If the cameraman uses a Gimble we won't get Sea-Sick!

[@fredyorug13]

I like it. I have one, and it works really god.

[@itumelengmahaole5890]

Ah....any reliability issues? Fuel consumption?

[@akhumzimalawane7872]

​@@itumelengmahaole5890 the fuel consumption is bad when it's brand new but after the first service it gets better. Then reliability is just fine nothing to cry about.

[@rsstone7192]

​@@itumelengmahaole5890 expect it to be thirsty when it's brand new but after the first service it gets better

[@akhumzimalawane7872]

​@itumelengmahaole5890 There have been no issues with reliability. Fuel consumption depends on how you drive it except mid to high 8s but on long distance except low 8 to high 7s

Hi Alan. A very glowing review but lacks balance regrettably. To my mind this video is more of an advertorial.
Peugeot Citroen are well known for really problematic after sales service in SA. An owner can wait many months for parts and the attitude of dealers’ service departments seem to suck. Go look at the complaints on hellopeter for instance together with the company’s Trust Index which backs this up. The initial experience is only 1 part of the equation. What are you likely to face say 3 years down the line? What resale value can you expect?
You need to cover the good and the bad please.

Hi Keith. To put the matter in context, I test new vehicles and give my opinion on them.
Firstly, I cannot predict the future so can't respond to you in that regard.
Secondly, my experience of Peugeot has only been good and positive in every respect to the extent that my daughter has just bought a new Peugeot on my advice.
My reviews always cover my personal experience and opinions of the vehicle concerned.

[@GustavTessa]

I would consider it if Peugeot bump up power to at least 140 kw and at least 450 NM. If Ford, Toyota, Nissan, Isuzu etc can do it, why not Peugeot? 110 kw in 2023 is not enough.

[@Getouttahere78]

🤔mmm. Vehicle standing at a slight angle and then you can't open the back!
Or did you lock it and forgot about it 🤣🤣

[@akhumzimalawane7872]

it's locked
