Isuzu Crosswind XUV AT Dsl (2015) vs Geely EX2 Max (2026)

Isuzu Crosswind XUV AT Dsl (2015) vs Geely EX2 Max (2026): which should you buy?

Both the 2015 Isuzu Crosswind XUV AT Dsl and the 2026 Geely EX2 Max sit near the same price point (₱1,030,000 vs ₱1,038,000), but they serve very different needs. The Crosswind is a rugged, body‑on‑frame, rear‑wheel‑drive AUV with a 2.5‑liter turbo diesel delivering 85 PS and 185 Nm, paired to a 4‑speed automatic. Its 9‑seat capacity, 4,730 mm length and RWD layout make it suited for large families or small businesses that need to haul cargo or passengers on rougher roads, especially in provincial areas where diesel is still common. Its warranty is modest at 100,000 km/3 years. In contrast, the Geely EX2 Max is a modern electric small crossover SUV with a 115 PS motor, 150 Nm torque, FWD and a unibody construction. It seats 2 + 3 (effectively five) and is compact (4,135 mm long, 1,805 mm wide, 1,580 mm high), ideal for city driving, tight parking and eco‑conscious commuters. Its 6‑year/150,000 km warranty is longer, and the electric drivetrain eliminates fuel costs, though range isn’t specified. Choose the Crosswind if you need maximum seating, off‑road capability and diesel convenience; choose the Geely if you prioritize lower running costs, city practicality and a longer warranty. Both fit the same budget, so the decision hinges on usage scenario rather than price.
