Dealer lets slip select details of more powerful Peugeot Landtrek
Based on a weekend social post, the Landtrek will soon get the same 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine as the Boxer van and its South American Fiat Titano sibling.
Pretoria-based dealers have revealed details of an upcoming more powerful Peugeot Landtrek, which will be equipped with a 2.2-litre oil-burner engine. The Landtrek, currently only powered by the 1.9-litre Multijet turbodiesel engine, will soon receive the 2.2-litre engine used in the Boxer van and other models by Peugeot's sibling Fiat Titano and smaller Toro. The engine produces 147kW/450Nm and is paired with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a new eight-speed automatic gearbox.
In addition to the more powerful engine, the post confirms that the Landtrek will also be available with an eight-speed 'box and in two-wheel drive form, specifically in the Allure trim level. The dealer's Facebook post also mentions the Landtrek will now be available in three engine options, alongside the existing 1.9 and 2.4-litre turbo-petrol engines.
The Landtrek range currently consists of five variants, including four double cabs and one single cab, all powered by the 1.9-litre engine, which generates 110kW/350Nm. Interior upgrades mainly involve the 10-inch infotainment system. However, the inclusion of the 2.2-litre engine is expected to bring an increase in towing capacity to the industry standard of 3 500 kg, as well as minor exterior changes, a new seven-inch digital instrument cluster, and the introduction of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity within the 10-inch infotainment system.
