Chevrolet Colorado 2.8L 4×4 LTZ MT Dsl (2015) vs Hyundai Grand Starex CRDi VGT GLS (10 seater) MT (2015): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer deciding between the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado 2.8L 4×4 LTZ MT and the 2015 Hyundai Grand Starex CRDi VGT GLS (10‑seater), the choice hinges on intended use. The Colorado is a pickup with a robust 180 PS and 440 Nm torque, 4‑wheel drive, and a body‑on‑frame chassis, making it better suited for hauling cargo, off‑road trips, or small‑business work where payload and traction matter. It seats 2 + 3 and is slightly longer (5347 mm), but costs ₱1,468,888, a bit cheaper than the Starex’s ₱1,563,000. The Starex, a 10‑seater van, offers far more passenger capacity, a 5‑door layout and RWD, ideal for large families or shuttle services. Its power is slightly lower at 170 PS and 392 Nm, but still adequate for highway cruising. Both have 5‑speed manual boxes and similar diesel VGT turbo setups, and both are discontinued models with limited warranty (Colorado 3 years/100,000 km, Starex 5 years unlimited). If you need cargo capability, off‑road ability, and a lower price, the Colorado is the clear pick. If you prioritize seating for many passengers and a slightly longer warranty, the Grand Starex is the better fit.
