Geely EX2 Max (2026) vs Nissan Livina 1.5 E M/T (2023)

Geely EX2 Max (2026) vs Nissan Livina 1.5 E M/T (2023): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing cost, efficiency and everyday practicality, the Geely EX2 Max 2026 edges out the Nissan Livina 1.5 E M/T 2023 if you prioritize lower price, zero‑emission driving and a compact SUV feel. At ₱1,038,000 it is about ₱56,000 cheaper and comes with a longer 6‑year/150,000 km warranty, compared to the Livina’s 5‑year/150,000 km coverage. The EX2 Max delivers 115 PS and 150 Nm from an electric motor, offering smoother, quieter acceleration and no fuel cost, while the Livina’s 104 PS gasoline engine produces 141 Nm. If you need a larger cabin for families, the Livina’s 2+3+2 seating (seven seats) beats the EX2 Max’s 2+3 layout (five seats). The EX2 Max’s compact dimensions (4,135 mm L × 1,805 mm W × 1,580 mm H) make it easier for city parking, whereas the Livina’s MPV body provides more cargo flexibility. Choose the Geely if you want an affordable, eco‑friendly small crossover with a longer warranty and lower running costs, and you can live with five seats. Opt for the Nissan if you need seven seats, prefer a conventional gasoline drivetrain, or value the MPV’s higher passenger capacity despite a higher price and shorter warranty.
