Verdict
At RM20,346 more, the BT-50 brings the 3.0-litre diesel’s 188 hp and 450 Nm, a 38 hp and 100 Nm lead over the Landtrek, plus adaptive cruise control, collision warning and Smart City Brake Support. That is the more complete safety and performance case, despite RM1,638 annual road tax against RM404. The Landtrek counters with eight airbags and a 360-degree camera, where Mazda has seven airbags and a reversing camera. Its lower cost and RM1,234 yearly tax saving make it the sensible pick if those Mazda driver aids are not priorities.
Pick the Mazda BT-50 if you want 188 hp, 450 Nm and the added protection of Smart City Brake Support with adaptive cruise control.
Pick the Peugeot Landtrek if a lower upfront outlay, lower road tax, eight airbags and a 360-degree camera matter more than outright output.
