Geely EX2 Max (2026) vs Jetour X70 Journey 1.5 Turbo AT (2023)

Geely EX2 Max (2026) vs Jetour X70 Journey 1.5 Turbo AT (2023): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing cost, power and everyday practicality, the Geely EX2 Max edges out the Jetour X70 Journey despite its slightly lower power output. Priced at ₱1,038,000, the EX2 Max is ₱61,000 cheaper and offers a zero‑emission electric drivetrain, which translates to lower running costs and eligibility for any local EV incentives. Its compact dimensions (4,135 mm length) and 2+3 seating make it easier to maneuver and park in crowded city streets, ideal for couples or small families. The Jetour, at ₱1,099,000, provides a larger midsize cabin with 2+3+2 seating and a more potent 147 PS turbo‑charged engine, delivering higher torque (210 Nm) for highway cruising and load‑carrying. However, it consumes gasoline and carries a higher purchase price. Both share a 6‑year warranty and front‑wheel drive, but the EX2 Max’s electric motor offers smoother acceleration and quieter rides, while the Jetour’s 8‑speed automatic may appeal to those who prioritize outright performance and extra rear seats. Choose the Geely if you value lower upfront cost, city‑friendly size, and eco‑friendly operation; opt for the Jetour if you need more passenger capacity and prefer a traditional gasoline engine with higher power.
