Honda Accord 3.5 SV V6 AT (White Pearl) (2015) vs Isuzu mu-X LS-A 4×4 3.0 AT (2018): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing performance, practicality and price, the 2018 Isuzu mu‑X LS‑A 4×4 edges out as a more versatile choice. Priced at ₱2,145,000—just ₱8,000 higher than the 2015 Honda Accord—it offers a turbocharged diesel engine that delivers 177 PS and 380 Nm of torque, far surpassing the Accord’s naturally aspirated V6 with 281 PS and 339 Nm. The mu‑X’s 4WD drivetrain, SUV body type, and seating layout of 2+3+2 make it better suited for families or those needing off‑road capability, while the Accord’s FWD and sedan profile cater to a more conventional driving experience. The mu‑X also benefits from a longer warranty coverage of 100,000 km/3 years and remains in production, ensuring easier access to parts and service. In contrast, the Accord’s discontinued status may pose future maintenance challenges. Overall, if you value higher torque for varied driving conditions, a family‑friendly interior and current production support, the Isuzu mu‑X is the prudent pick; if you prefer a classic sedan with a V6 engine and are comfortable with its discontinued status, the Accord remains an option at a comparable price point.
