Mitsubishi Montero Sport GLS 2WD AT (2016) vs Jaecoo EJ6 AWD Premium (2025)

Mitsubishi Montero Sport GLS 2WD AT (2016) vs Jaecoo EJ6 AWD Premium (2025): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing cost, power and practicality, the Mitsubishi Montero Sport GLS 2WD AT (2016) and the Jaecoo EJ6 AWD Premium (2025) present distinct trade‑offs. The Montero Sport is priced at ₱1,719,000, about ₱80,000 cheaper than the Jaecoo’s ₱1,799,000, and it offers a proven 2.4‑litre turbo‑charged diesel engine delivering 181 PS and a hefty 430 Nm of torque, which is useful for hauling and off‑road situations despite its rear‑wheel‑drive layout. Its body‑on‑frame construction adds ruggedness, but the vehicle is older (2016) and carries a shorter warranty of 100,000 km or 3 years. The Jaecoo, on the other hand, is a brand‑new 2025 model with a 7‑year/200,000 km warranty, an electric motor producing 275 PS and 385 Nm, and an all‑wheel‑drive system that gives better traction in wet or hilly roads. Its unibody crossover design is more car‑like and likely more fuel‑efficient (zero fuel cost) but lacks the diesel’s torque advantage for heavy loads. If you need a lower upfront price, higher torque for towing, and a rugged SUV, the Montero Sport is the practical pick. If you prefer the latest technology, longer warranty, higher peak power and zero‑emission driving, the Jaecoo EJ6 is the better choice for urban and eco‑conscious use.
