The Technologies & Performance of the Peugeot Landtrek

There is a new, very French, pick-up-shaped kid on the block, and it is the newest Supercars.com.GH Car of The Month! We are of course talking about the Peugeot Landtrek. Join us today as we explore its performance capabilities as well as the latest inbuilt technologies it comes with.

Performance Characteristics

Look under the hood of the Landtrek pickup, and you’ll find a turbo diesel engine with 1.9 litres of displacement. It produces an ample 150 horsepower, along with 350 Nm of torque allowing it to carry and pull even the toughest of loads.

A variable geometry turbocharger aids the engine in producing these impressive power figures. It comes paired with a 6-speed transmission that performs equally well on the desert as well as the highway.

This state-of-the-art transmission aids the Landtrek to be more economical than its competitors as well. It even has a sequential mode to go along with the Eco and Sport engine modes.

Technology & Features

The Peugeot Landtrek is equally impressive when it comes to technological features as well. The French outfit has equipped this vehicle with some great security and off-road-oriented features, which gives it an edge over the competition.

The high-tech reinforced TCS system comes as standard on both the 4×2 and 4×4 versions of the Landtrek that come equipped with ESP. However, the security features aren’t limited to just that.

Another feature that may come in handy especially if you are thinking about towing a trailer is the Trailer-Sway Control system. This technology aims to limit dangerous situations with the aid of the ESP system.

In terms of off-road-oriented features, Hill Descent Control is one that immediately comes to mind. As the name suggests, HDC comes to your aid when driving your Landtrek up a steep incline. The Peugeot HDC system helps drivers to maintain a steady speed, enabling drivers to better control their pickup trucks in difficult situations like this.

The Involuntary Line Crossing Alert (AFIL) is another important safety system that the Peugeot Landtrek comes equipped with. It uses an inbuilt camera, which detects the lane markings on the highway. If the cameras detect that the vehicle is deviating from these markings at a speed exceeding 65 km/h, visual and audible warnings will be given out to gain the driver’s attention and avoid a possible collision.

With advanced technologies and security features like these, it is safe to say that our Car of The Month is one of the best pickup trucks out on the market today. Make sure to stay with us throughout this month to explore more features of this exciting pickup truck.
