Chevrolet Colorado 2.5L 4×2 LT MT Dsl (2015) vs Suzuki Vitara GLX (2018)

Chevrolet Colorado 2.5L 4×2 LT MT Dsl (2015) vs Suzuki Vitara GLX (2018): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer who needs a work‑horse that can haul cargo or tackle rough roads, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado 2.5L 4×2 LT MT Dsl is the clear choice. It costs ₱1,148,888, about ₱50,000 more than the Suzuki Vitara, but it offers a body‑on‑frame pickup chassis, a 2‑ton‑class diesel engine with 150 PS and 350 Nm of torque, a 5‑speed manual with LSD, and rear‑wheel drive – all traits that translate to higher payload capacity, better low‑end pulling power and off‑road durability. The Colorado’s 5,347 mm length also provides a larger cargo bed, making it suitable for small business owners or families needing extra storage. Conversely, the 2018 Suzuki Vitara GLX, priced at ₱1,098,000, is a compact 5‑door crossover with a 1.6 L naturally‑aspirated gasoline engine delivering 115 PS and 156 Nm, front‑wheel drive and a 6‑speed automatic, which makes it more fuel‑efficient and easier for city commuting, but it lacks the payload and ruggedness of the Colorado. If your primary use is daily urban driving with occasional family trips, the Vitara offers a lower price and more convenient transmission. Choose the Colorado for work‑related hauling and tougher terrain; choose the Vitara for city comfort and lower running costs.
