Ford Everest 2.2 Titanium 4×2 AT (2015) vs Isuzu mu-X LS-A 4×2 3.0 AT (2018): which should you buy?

For Filipino buyers, the choice between the Ford Everest 2.2 Titanium 4x2 AT (2015) and the Isuzu mu-X LS-A 4x2 3.0 AT (2018) hinges on budget and priorities. The Everest is more affordable at ₱1,739,000, but it's discontinued and has a smaller 2.2L engine producing 160 PS and 385 Nm. The mu-X, at ₱1,845,000, is currently available and features a larger 3.0L engine with 177 PS and 380 Nm, offering more power but slightly less torque. The Everest seats 7 (2+3+2) and is longer (4893 mm), making it better for larger families. The mu-X seats 5 (2+3) and is shorter (4825 mm), which may be easier to maneuver in city traffic. Both have 6-speed A/T and RWD, but the Everest uses a body-on-frame construction typical of SUVs. If you need a 7-seater and want to save money, the Everest is a good used buy. If you prefer a newer, more powerful engine and current availability, the mu-X is the better choice. For daily commuting, the mu-X's newer model and slightly better power may offer a more refined experience, but the Everest's extra seats and lower price are compelling for budget-conscious families.
