Chevrolet Groove RS (2025) vs Geely EX2 Max (2026)

Chevrolet Groove RS (2025) vs Geely EX2 Max (2026): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing cost, performance and practicality, the Chevrolet Groove RS and the Geely EX2 Max cater to different priorities. The Groove RS is priced at ₱1,156,000, about ₱118,000 more than the EX2 Max, but it delivers a significantly higher output – 150 PS and 255 Nm from a 1.5‑litre turbocharged gasoline engine, paired with a CVT. This extra power translates to stronger acceleration and better highway overtaking, which suits drivers who frequently travel on expressways or carry heavier loads. Its conventional gasoline powertrain also means easy refueling at any station, an advantage where charging infrastructure is still limited. The EX2 Max, at ₱1,038,000, is the cheaper option and comes with a 6‑year/150,000 km warranty, longer than the Groove’s 5‑year/100,000 km coverage. Its electric motor produces 115 PS and 150 Nm, sufficient for city commuting and short trips, and offers zero‑emission driving – a plus for environmentally‑conscious buyers and those who can charge at home or work. Both share the same 5‑door, 2+3 seating layout and FWD unibody crossover platform, but the EX2 Max’s dimensions (4135 mm L × 1805 mm W × 1580 mm H) are only provided for it, so size comparison is limited. Choose the Groove RS if you need more power and prefer gasoline convenience; opt for the EX2 Max if you want lower upfront cost, longer warranty and an electric drivetrain for city use.
