Hyundai Accent Hatchback 1.6L CRDi AT (2014) vs Geely EX2 Pro (2026)

Hyundai Accent Hatchback 1.6L CRDi AT (2014) vs Geely EX2 Pro (2026): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing cost, future‑proofing and everyday practicality, the Geely EX2 Pro edges out the 2014 Hyundai Accent Hatchback despite its slightly lower power output. The Geely is ₱30,000 cheaper (₱938,000 vs ₱968,000), comes with a 6‑year/150,000 km warranty and is still in production, meaning parts and service will be easier to obtain. Its electric drivetrain eliminates diesel fuel costs and offers zero‑emission driving, which is increasingly valued in urban Manila traffic. While the Accent delivers more torque (260 Nm vs 150 Nm) and a higher peak power (128 PS vs 113 PS), its 4‑speed automatic and diesel engine may incur higher fuel and maintenance expenses, and the model is discontinued, risking parts scarcity. The Geely’s small crossover SUV body adds a bit more interior height and a modern look, though both seat five. If you prioritize lower running costs, a longer warranty, and a vehicle that aligns with upcoming emission regulations, the Geely EX2 Pro is the better choice. Choose the Hyundai Accent only if you specifically need the higher torque for heavy loads, prefer diesel, and are comfortable with a discontinued model that may be harder to service.
