Jaecoo EJ6 AWD Premium (2025) vs Nissan Navara 2.5 VL Calibre AT 4×2 (2021)

Jaecoo EJ6 AWD Premium (2025) vs Nissan Navara 2.5 VL Calibre AT 4×2 (2021): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer who prioritises modern urban mobility, low‑maintenance running costs and a compact footprint, the 2025 Jaecoo EJ6 AWD Premium is the better choice. It is an all‑electric small crossover SUV priced at ₱1,799,000, slightly cheaper than the 2021 Nissan Navara VL Calibre AT 4×2 (₱1,870,000). The EJ6 delivers 275 PS and 385 Nm, offering more power than the Navara’s 190 PS, while still providing ample torque for city driving. Its AWD system adds traction on rainy or hilly roads, and the 5‑door layout with a 2+3 seating arrangement makes it more practical for families or ride‑sharing. The longer warranty (7 years or 200,000 km) also gives extra peace of mind compared to the Navara’s 5‑year/100,000 km coverage. Conversely, the Navara is a body‑on‑frame pickup with a 2.5‑L turbo diesel, higher torque (450 Nm) and a 7‑speed automatic, suited for heavy‑load work, off‑road hauling, or rural use where diesel refueling is readily available. Its RWD layout and larger cargo bed are advantages for commercial tasks, but it lacks the electric efficiency, lower operating cost, and compact dimensions of the Jaecoo. Choose the Jaecoo if you need an everyday family SUV with zero‑emission driving; opt for the Navara if you need a work‑oriented pickup with higher torque and payload capability.
