The latest Peugeot Landtrek responds to every need through a large choice of engines, three body configurations including single and double cab models and versions for both professional and leisure use.

The Peugeot Landtrek continues to build on the qualities that have aided its success, which include a high-capacity cargo bed, exceptional modularity, high levels of comfort and high-performance engines.

An assertive design identity

The design identity of the Peugeot Landtrek is more assertive than ever. Recent updates include a remodelled vertical grille that incorporates the new Peugeot emblem. Flanking this grille is a set of LED daytime running lights in the shape of the brand’s iconic claws, which contributes to a distinctive and tech rich lighting signature. The lower section has been reinforced, and the fog lamp bezels adopt a glossy black finish.

At the rear a new bumper combines style and protection, and new Peugeot lettering modernises the rear cargo door in between 3D effect LED rear lights.

Tech-focused interior

The interior features a modern design with the dashboard revolving around a generous console and large 10-inch HD touchscreen that is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Below the central screen, toggle switches provide access to essential functions.

The cabin is spacious with a shoulder width of 1.55 metres in the second row and a minimum leg room of 50mm.

Peugeot 3008 Peugeot currently maintains its presence in the SUV segment with the 2008. Customers are typically drawn to this model by its strong design, versatility and agility.

The 3008 features the Peugeot signature light which is characterised by three vertical light claws which are integrated into gloss black inserts on the bumper. On GT models this design is extended into the LED headlamps through the use of three light modules.

The front end also features a vertical pattern in the same colour as the bodywork, which extends to subtle dark inserts that reinforce the versatility of the front end. The body colour of the pattern allows the grille to be better integrated into the bumper for a more robust appearance.

At the rear new LED lights feature superimposed horizontal double slats, which contribute to visually widening the car’s stance.

Inside, all versions feature renewed seat fabrics, that illustrate a real upmarket feel, including Alcantara upholstery which is available as an option on GT versions.

The interior is home to a modern digital instrument cluster that incorporates a 10-inch digital display as well as a 10-inch central touchscreen.
