Ford Everest 2.2 Trend 4×2 AT (2015) vs Jetour Dashing Symphony (2023)

Ford Everest 2.2 Trend 4×2 AT (2015) vs Jetour Dashing Symphony (2023): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing cost, power and everyday practicality, the Jetour Dashing Symphony edges out the older Ford Everest despite the Everest’s larger size and higher torque. Both are priced similarly (Jetour at ₱1,523,000 vs. Ford at ₱1,539,000), but the Jetour is a brand‑new 2023 model with a 6‑year/unlimited‑kilometre warranty, whereas the 2015 Everest is discontinued and only carries a 3‑year/100,000 km warranty. The Jetour’s 1.5‑litre turbo gasoline engine delivers 156 PS, sufficient for city and light highway use, while the Everest’s 2.2‑litre turbo diesel produces 160 PS but with a much higher torque of 385 Nm, which benefits heavy‑load or off‑road situations. However, the Everest’s body‑on‑frame construction, 5‑door SUV layout with 2+3+2 seating, and RWD drivetrain make it more suited for families needing seven seats and occasional rugged driving. The Jetour, built on a unibody platform, offers a modern crossover feel, five seats, and a longer warranty, making it a better daily commuter for a smaller family or couple. Choose the Everest if you need seven‑seat capacity, higher torque for towing, and prefer a rugged SUV; choose the Jetour if you want a newer vehicle, longer warranty, and a more compact, fuel‑efficient crossover for everyday use.
