Chevrolet Colorado 2.8L 4×2 AT LT (2015) vs Nissan NV350 Urvan Cargo (2015)

Chevrolet Colorado 2.8L 4×2 AT LT (2015) vs Nissan NV350 Urvan Cargo (2015): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing a work‑horse pickup against a cargo van, the choice hinges on power, payload layout and price. The 2015 Chevrolet Colorado 2.8L 4×2 AT LT costs ₱1,218,888, about ₱60,888 more than the Nissan NV350 Urvan Cargo at ₱1,158,000. The Colorado delivers a far stronger drivetrain – 203 PS and 500 Nm of torque – versus the Urvan’s 129 PS and 356 Nm, giving the pickup superior towing and hill‑climbing ability, especially useful for hauling heavy equipment or trailers. The Colorado’s 6‑speed automatic and rear‑wheel‑drive platform also suit rugged road conditions, while the Urvan’s 5‑speed manual is simpler but less refined for heavy loads. In terms of practicality, the Colorado seats 2 + 3 with a 4‑door cabin and a body‑on‑frame chassis, ideal for a small crew plus cargo bed. The Urvan, a 4‑door van with a single driver seat and three‑person capacity, offers a fully enclosed cargo volume (5080 mm L × 1695 mm W × 2285 mm H) better for protecting goods from weather. Both are discontinued models with similar warranties (5 years/100 k km for Colorado, 3 years/100 k km for Urvan). Choose the Colorado if you need higher power, towing capacity and a versatile crew‑plus‑bed setup and can afford the higher price. Opt for the Urvan if you prioritize a lower purchase price, enclosed cargo space and are comfortable with a manual transmission for city‑based deliveries.
