Kia EV5 GL (2026) vs Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2.4L GLS 2WD 8AT (2020): which should you buy?
The Kia EV5 GL (₱2,298,000) is the better choice for most Filipino buyers seeking a practical, efficient crossover. Its electric powertrain delivers 218 PS of power and 310 Nm of torque—significantly more than the Mitsubishi Montero Sport’s 181 PS—while still offering a midsize crossover feel. The EV5’s 5-year/160,000km warranty is also broader than the Montero’s 3-year/100,000km coverage. The EV5 is priced ₱371,000 higher, but this reflects a cleaner drive and lower operating costs, making it ideal for daily commuting and long drives on Philippine roads. The Montero, though cheaper (₱1,927,000), prioritizes torque (430 Nm vs 310 Nm) but lacks the EV5’s torque-driven efficiency and warranty depth. Choose the EV5 for budget-conscious owners valuing drivability and long-term reliability; the Montero suits those prioritizing raw torque and affordability for regional routes.
