Ford Everest Titanium 2.2 4×2 AT Premium (2017) vs Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD Standard Range (2025)

Ford Everest Titanium 2.2 4×2 AT Premium (2017) vs Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD Standard Range (2025): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing practicality against future‑proofing, the choice hinges on daily needs and budget. The 2017 Ford Everest Titanium 2.2 4×2 AT Premium costs ₱2,058,000, about ₱51,000 cheaper than the 2025 Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD Standard Range at ₱2,109,000. The Everest offers a larger SUV footprint (4,893 mm long, 1,862 mm wide) with three rows of seats (2+3+2), making it suitable for families or cargo‑heavy trips, while the Model 3 is a four‑door sedan (4,720 mm long, 2,089 mm wide) with only two rows (2+3). Power‑wise, the Tesla’s electric motor delivers 257 PS, outpacing the Everest’s 160 PS, but the diesel SUV provides higher torque (385 Nm vs 360 Nm) useful for low‑speed pulling. The Everest runs on diesel with a 6‑speed automatic and RWD, whereas the Model 3 is fully electric with an automatic transmission and also RWD, offering zero‑emission driving and lower operating costs. Warranty differs: Ford gives 100,000 km or 3 years, while Tesla offers 4 years or 80,000 km. If you need space, off‑road capability and a lower upfront price, the Everest is the pragmatic pick. If you prioritize performance, modern tech, lower running costs and are comfortable with a higher price and smaller cabin, the Model 3 is the better long‑term choice.
