Ford Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost V6 4WD Limited MAX AT (2018) vs Mazda CX-90 3.3L AWD HEV Turbo (2024)

Ford Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost V6 4WD Limited MAX AT (2018) vs Mazda CX-90 3.3L AWD HEV Turbo (2024): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing cost, performance and everyday practicality, the Mazda CX‑90 2024 emerges as the more sensible choice for most families, while the 2018 Ford Expedition Limited MAX suits those who need sheer torque and a traditional body‑on‑frame SUV for heavy loads. The CX‑90 is roughly ₱480,000 cheaper (₱3.78 million vs ₱4.258 million) and offers a modern unibody crossover platform that is generally easier to maneuver in city traffic. Its 300.9 PS output and 603 Nm torque are respectable, though lower than the Expedition’s 375 PS and 640 Nm, but the CX‑90’s turbocharged inline‑4 is likely more fuel‑efficient for daily commuting. Both carry the same 3‑year/100,000 km warranty, but the Expedition’s 10‑speed automatic and 4WD system give it a rugged edge for off‑road or towing heavy trailers, aided by its body‑on‑frame construction and 5‑door, 2+3+3 seating layout. The CX‑90 seats seven in a conventional 3‑row layout, offers more contemporary exterior color options, and its unibody design provides a smoother ride for urban use. Choose the Expedition if you prioritize maximum power, towing capacity and a classic SUV feel; choose the CX‑90 if you want lower price, better city friendliness and sufficient power for typical family duties.
