Tata Xenon 2.2 4×4 MT Dsl (2015) vs Geely EX2 Max (2026)

Tata Xenon 2.2 4×4 MT Dsl (2015) vs Geely EX2 Max (2026): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer who needs a work‑horse that can haul cargo, tow a trailer or navigate rough provincial roads, the 2015 Tata Xenon 2.2 4×4 MT Dsl is the clear choice. It costs ₱1,135,000, a bit more than the Geely EX2 Max, but it delivers 150 PS and a hefty 320 Nm of torque at low revs, plus a rugged body‑on‑frame chassis, RWD layout and a 5‑speed manual that suit load‑carrying and off‑road duties. Its 4‑door, 2+3 seating layout also offers a modest passenger cabin while keeping a large cargo bed. The Tata’s warranty is shorter (100,000 km/3 years) but its diesel engine is proven for heavy use. Conversely, the 2026 Geely EX2 Max, priced at ₱1,038,000, is an electric small crossover aimed at city commuters. It provides 115 PS, 150 Nm torque, FWD, automatic transmission and a compact unibody design that fits tight urban parking. Its 6‑year/150,000 km warranty is the longest of the two, and the electric powertrain eliminates fuel costs, but the lower torque and smaller dimensions limit hauling capability. Choose the Tata if you need utility, payload and off‑road confidence; pick the Geely if you prioritize low running costs, city comfort and a longer warranty for daily commuting.
