Verdict
The Mitsubishi Triton costs RM101,980, undercutting the Peugeot Landtrek by RM18,092 while bringing a 2.4-litre diesel with 179 hp and 430 Nm. Its manual gearbox, two-seat layout and three airbags make it the work-focused choice. The Landtrek’s 150 hp, 350 Nm 1.9-litre diesel is less muscular, but the six-speed automatic, five seats, eight airbags, blind-spot monitoring and 360-degree camera make daily use far easier. Its RM404 annual road tax also halves the Triton’s RM794 bill.
Pick the Mitsubishi Triton if you want the lower entry price, stronger 179 hp/430 Nm diesel and unlimited-kilometre five-year warranty, and can live with a six-speed manual and two seats.
Pick the Peugeot Landtrek if you need five seats, a six-speed automatic and substantially fuller safety and convenience equipment.
