Peugeot Traveller 2.0L Dsl A/T (2018) vs Hyundai IONIQ 5 GLS 2WD Long Range (2026)

Peugeot Traveller 2.0L Dsl A/T (2018) vs Hyundai IONIQ 5 GLS 2WD Long Range (2026): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing practicality, power and future‑proofing, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 GLS Long Range emerges as the more compelling choice. Priced slightly higher at ₱3,698,000 versus the Peugeot Traveller’s ₱3,390,000, it offers a 229 PS electric motor and 350 Nm torque that outpaces the Traveller’s 150 PS diesel engine with 370 Nm. The IONIQ 5’s all‑electric powertrain eliminates fuel costs and emissions, aligning with growing EV incentives in the Philippines. Its 5‑door, 2+3 seating layout and compact 4655 mm length make it versatile for city driving, while the Traveller’s 2+2+3 configuration and longer 4956 mm body suit larger families or cargo needs. Warranty coverage is also a decisive factor: the IONIQ 5 provides five years or 200,000 km, double the Peugeot’s three‑year/100,000 km guarantee. In terms of drivetrain, the IONIQ 5’s RWD may offer better handling on wet roads compared to the Traveller’s FWD. However, if a buyer prioritizes diesel reliability and a van‑style layout for frequent cargo transport, the Traveller remains a viable option. Overall, for most Filipino consumers seeking modern technology, lower running costs and longer warranty, the IONIQ 5 GLS Long Range is recommended.
