Mini Paceman JCW ALL4 AT (2015) vs Ford Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost V6 4WD Limited MAX AT (2018): which should you buy?
The Ford Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost V6 4WD Limited MAX AT (₱4,258,000) is the better value for most Filipino buyers. It costs ₱268,000 more than the discontinued Mini Paceman JCW ALL4 AT (₱3,990,000), yet offers significantly more power (375 PS vs. 218 PS) and a more capable 4WD system versus AWD. The Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission and higher seating capacity (2+3+3 vs. 2+2) make it more practical for families, while the Mini’s AWD is optimized for specific terrain but lacks the torque and capacity of the Ford’s drivetrain. Given the higher warranty coverage (3-years/100,000km vs. unlimited/2-years) and broader utility, the Expedition is the stronger choice for daily commuting or longer trips.
