Nissan Navara 2.5 4×2 6MT (2018) vs Geely EX2 Pro (2026)

Nissan Navara 2.5 4×2 6MT (2018) vs Geely EX2 Pro (2026): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer who needs a work‑horse that can haul heavy loads, the 2018 Nissan Navara 2.5 4×2 6MT is the clear choice. It costs ₱917,000, slightly cheaper than the Geely EX2 Pro, and delivers 163 PS and a massive 403 Nm of torque at just 2,000 rpm, far out‑matching the EX2 Pro’s 113 PS and 150 Nm. The Navara’s 6‑speed manual, rear‑wheel‑drive layout and body‑on‑frame construction give it the durability and payload capacity typical of a pickup, making it suitable for small businesses, farm work, or weekend hauling. Its 2+3 seating arrangement also offers flexibility for a driver plus a few passengers, though it lacks conventional doors, reflecting a cab‑over design. Meanwhile, the Geely EX2 Pro, priced at ₱938,000, is an electric small crossover SUV with a modern unibody build, five doors, and a comfortable 2+3 cabin for city families. Its 6‑year/150,000 km warranty is twice as long as the Navara’s, and the zero‑emission powertrain appeals to eco‑conscious commuters, but its lower power and torque, front‑wheel‑drive layout, and limited cargo space make it less capable for heavy‑duty tasks. Choose the Navara if you prioritize towing, ruggedness, and torque for work; choose the Geely if you want an electric, family‑friendly urban SUV with a longer warranty and cleaner running costs.
