Verdict
The RM103,121 Isuzu D-MAX undercuts the RM120,072 Peugeot Landtrek by RM16,951, and its 161 hp/400 Nm 2.2-litre diesel beats the Peugeot’s 150 hp/350 Nm 1.9. That suits the buyer prioritising output and a 150,000-km warranty. The Landtrek counters with a six-speed automatic, five seats and eight airbags against the D-MAX’s manual, two-seat and two-airbag layout. It is also 115 mm wider, 107 mm taller and 290 kg heavier, with a lower RM404 annual road tax versus RM571.
Pick the Isuzu D-MAX if you want the lower purchase price, 400 Nm of torque and 150,000 km of warranty cover, and can live with a two-seat manual cabin.
Pick the Peugeot Landtrek if you need five seats, an automatic gearbox and substantially fuller safety and convenience equipment.
