Volvo XC60 D4 (2016) vs Ford Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost V6 4WD Limited MAX AT (2018): which should you buy?
For a Filipino buyer weighing luxury versus rugged utility, the Volvo XC60 D4 (2016) and the Ford Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost (2018) serve very different needs. The XC60 is priced at ₱3.895 million, about ₱363 k cheaper, and offers a compact crossover footprint with a 2‑year warranty, 5‑star Euro NCAP safety, and a diesel 181 hp engine that delivers 21.27 km/l combined fuel economy – a practical choice for city driving and occasional weekend trips. Its front‑wheel‑drive layout, 8‑speed automatic, and premium interior make it suitable for families or professionals seeking refined handling and lower running costs. In contrast, the Expedition costs ₱4.258 million, comes with a longer 3‑year/100,000 km warranty, and packs a 375 PS twin‑turbo V6 delivering 640 Nm of torque, paired with a 10‑speed automatic and permanent 4WD. Its body‑on‑frame construction, 5‑door layout, and 2+3+3 seating (up to eight passengers) cater to large families or those needing serious towing and off‑road capability, albeit with higher fuel consumption and a larger footprint (5 636 mm length). Choose the Volvo if you prioritize fuel efficiency, urban maneuverability, and a lower price; opt for the Ford if you need maximum power, seating capacity, and rugged versatility for heavy loads or rough terrain.
