Ford Everest 3.2 Titanium Premium 4×4 AT (2015) vs Nissan Leaf EV (2023)

Ford Everest 3.2 Titanium Premium 4×4 AT (2015) vs Nissan Leaf EV (2023): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing utility against urban efficiency, the choice hinges on lifestyle and budget. The 2015 Ford Everest 3.2 Titanium Premium costs ₱2,109,000, is a body‑on‑frame 5‑seat SUV with 4WD, 200 PS and 470 Nm of torque, making it far more capable for off‑road trips, heavy loads or family outings that need the 2+3+2 seating layout and a 4,893 mm wheelbase. Its diesel engine and 6‑speed automatic deliver strong low‑end torque, but the vehicle is discontinued and carries a 100,000 km/3‑year warranty. In contrast, the 2023 Nissan Leaf EV is priced slightly lower at ₱1,998,000, offers a compact 4,490 mm hatchback body, FWD, 150 PS and 320 Nm, and runs on electricity – ideal for city commuting, lower fuel costs, and zero emissions. It seats 2+3, fits tighter parking spaces, and comes with a current‑model warranty. If you need rugged capability, higher power and more passenger capacity for provincial travel, the Everest is the better fit despite its higher price and older status. If daily city driving, lower operating costs, and a modern EV platform are priorities, the Leaf provides sufficient power, a newer warranty, and a modest price advantage.
