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

For a Filipino buyer weighing the Ford Everest 2.2 Trend 4×2 AT (2015) against the Isuzu mu‑X 3.0 LS‑A 4×2 AT Dsl (2015), the decision hinges on price, power, and practicality. The Everest is priced at ₱1,539,000 while the mu‑X comes in at ₱1,448,000, giving the mu‑X a cost advantage of ₱91,000. In terms of performance, the mu‑X’s 2.5 L engine produces a slightly higher peak power of 163 PS versus the Everest’s 160 PS, and delivers a comparable torque (380 Nm vs. 385 Nm). However, the mu‑X’s engine is turbo‑intercooled with VGS technology, potentially offering better low‑end torque across a broader rpm range (380 Nm at 1800–2200 rpm) compared to the Everest’s single turbocharged CRDI. Both vehicles share a 5‑door SUV layout, RWD drivetrain, and 2+3+2 seating. The mu‑X is marginally shorter (4825 mm vs. 4893 mm) and wider (1860 mm), which may translate to slightly tighter interior space. Both models are discontinued and carry the same 100,000 km/3‑year warranty. If budget is a priority and you want the slightly more powerful engine, the mu‑X is preferable. If you value a marginally larger footprint and a different brand heritage, the Everest remains an option but at a higher price.
