Toyota Innova 2.5 G D4-D AT (2014) vs Geely EX2 Max (2026)

Toyota Innova 2.5 G D4-D AT (2014) vs Geely EX2 Max (2026): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing cost, power, and everyday practicality, the Geely EX2 Max emerges as the more forward‑looking choice, especially for city driving and eco‑conscious owners. Priced at ₱1,038,000, it is about ₱170,000 cheaper than the 2014 Toyota Innova 2.5 G D4‑D AT, and it comes with a longer 6‑year/150,000 km warranty versus the Innova’s 3‑year/100,000 km coverage. The EX2 Max’s electric motor delivers 115 PS, slightly more than the Innova’s 102 PS, while offering a smoother automatic drive and front‑wheel‑drive layout in a compact 4,135 mm unibody crossover, making parking and maneuvering in Manila traffic easier. Its 5‑door layout and 2+3 seating suit small families or ride‑sharing, though it lacks the 7‑seat flexibility of the{Innova’s} 2+3+2 arrangement. The Innova, built0 on a body‑on‑frame chassis, provides higher torque (260 Nm) for load‑carrying and off‑road capability, but its 4‑speed automatic feels dated and its discontinued status may affect parts availability. Choose the Geely EX2 Max if you prioritize lower price, modern electric tech, and urban practicality; opt for the Innova only if you need extra seats, higher torque for heavy loads, and prefer a proven diesel MPV despite higher cost and older tech.
