Toyota Vios 1.5 G CVT (White Pearl) (2016) vs Geely EX2 Pro (2026)

Toyota Vios 1.5 G CVT (White Pearl) (2016) vs Geely EX2 Pro (2026): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing cost, running expenses and everyday practicality, the Geely EX2 Pro edges out the 2016 Toyota Vios despite its newer model year. The EX2 Pro is ₱30,000 cheaper (₱938,000 vs ₱968,000) and comes with a longer warranty (6 years/150,000 km versus 3 years/100,000 km), which reduces long‑term ownership risk. Its electric powertrain delivers 113 PS and 150 Nm, modestly more power and torque than the Vios’s 107 PS and 140 Nm, while eliminating fuel costs and emissions – a strong point for city commuters. The EX2 Pro’s five‑door small crossover body gives easier rear‑seat access and a higher roof (1570 mm) for a roomier feel, though it is shorter overall (4135 mm vs 4410 mm), which may affect rear‑legroom for taller passengers. The Vios, a traditional 4‑door sedan, offers a proven gasoline engine and a familiar driving feel, but its warranty is shorter and it lacks the zero‑fuel‑cost advantage. If you prioritize lower purchase price, longer warranty, zero fuel expense and a slightly more powerful electric drivetrain, the Geely EX2 Pro is the better fit. If you prefer a conventional gasoline sedan with a longer body and are comfortable with fuel costs, the Vios remains a solid choice.
