Ford Ranger XLS 2.2L 4×2 MT (2015) vs Honda Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi CVT (2015)

Ford Ranger XLS 2.2L 4×2 MT (2015) vs Honda Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi CVT (2015): which should you buy?

Both the 2015 Ford Ranger XLS 2.2L 4×2 MT and the 2015 Honda Mobilio 1.5 RS Navi CVT are priced near the ₱1 million mark, but they serve very different needs. The Ranger, priced at ₱1,039,000, packs a turbo‑charged 2.2‑liter diesel delivering 150 PS and 375 Nm, giving it far more low‑end torque for hauling and off‑road confidence despite its rear‑wheel‑drive, body‑on‑frame construction. Its 5‑door pickup layout (2+3 seats) and 5.3‑m length make it ideal for small‑business owners, contractors, or families that need cargo space and occasional towing. The Mobilio, at ₱982,000, is a 4.4‑m unibody MPV with a naturally aspirated 1.5‑liter gasoline engine that makes 120 PS and 145 Nm, paired to a CVT and front‑wheel drive. It seats seven (2+3+2) and offers a more compact footprint, making it better suited for city commuting, weekend trips, and families prioritising passenger capacity over payload. In short, choose the Ranger if you need power, torque, and cargo capability for work or heavy loads; choose the Mobilio if you want a slightly cheaper, fuel‑efficient family MPV for daily urban use. Both are discontinued models, so after‑sales support may rely on existing warranty (100,000 km/3 years) and dealer parts availability.
