Nissan Navara 2.5L 4×2 EL 7AT Calibre (2015) vs Geely EX2 Max (2026)

Nissan Navara 2.5L 4×2 EL 7AT Calibre (2015) vs Geely EX2 Max (2026): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing utility against urban practicality, the choice hinges on intended use. The 2015 Nissan Navara 2.5L 4×2 EL 7AT Calibre is a body‑on‑frame pickup with a 2.5‑litre turbo‑diesel delivering 163 PS and 403 Nm of torque, making it far stronger for hauling, towing and off‑road work. It seats up to five, has a 7‑speed automatic, and comes with a 3‑year/100,000 km warranty, but it is discontinued and priced at ₱1,171,000. The Geely EX2 Max, a 2026 small crossover SUV, is an electric, front‑wheel‑drive vehicle with 115 PS and 150 Nm, offering a cleaner drive for city traffic and lower running costs. It seats the same 2+3 layout, has a modern 5‑door unibody design, a 6‑year/150,000 km warranty, and is priced slightly lower at ₱1,038,000. If you need a workhorse for cargo, rugged terrain, or frequent towing, the Navara’s higher power, torque and pickup platform are decisive despite the higher price and older warranty. If daily commuting, fuel‑economy, and a longer warranty are priorities, the electric Geely EX2 Max provides sufficient power for city driving, a contemporary SUV feel, and a lower upfront cost. Both fit a five‑person crew, but the Navara excels in load‑carrying capability, while the Geely shines in eco‑friendly urban use.
