The BYD ATTO 3 electric vehicle (EV) has been given a 5-star rating by the Green New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP). Unlike other NCAPs that focus on crash safety, the Green NCAP is an independent initiative promoting the development of clean and energy-efficient cars. The BYD EV was assessed in various test categories, such as low consumption and efficiency in cold and warm laboratory tests, highway cycle and on-road tests.

Nissan Philippines recently allowed us to test its newest pair of sports cars, the 2024 Nissan GTR and the recently launched Nissan Z, around the Clark International Speedway. This allowed us to see how the vehicles would handle around a track and to see how much they have progressed over the years as the Japanese automaker also provided older versions of these vehicles, such as the 2021 GTR and the Nissan 370Z, to see just how much they have improved.

According to sales data from the Japan Automobile Dealers Association (JADA), the Camry was the 44th best-selling car in the country in 2021 with 10,620 units. It outsold the Honda Accord, which wasn’t even listed in the top 50. But by 2022, even the C

The all-new 2023 Toyota Wigo has made its debut in the ASEAN, with Malaysia getting the Perodua Axia and Indonesia getting the Toyota Agya and the Daihatsu Ayla. While all three versions are the Wigo, with slightly altered specifications for their respective market, they each bring something unique to the table. The arrival of these new models got us thinking, how does this compare to the Toyota Wigo we currently have in the Philippine market? Are they better because they are more modern, or doe

There are several reasons why the refreshed 2022 Toyota Camry is far much better than last year's model. Aside from the fact that its looks have gotten better with the new front bumper design and 18-inch wheels, it now comes with amazing features that will make every passenger feel even more comfortable. A new 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system highlighted with JBL speakers is a huge improvement over the old setup. And at the back, touch-sensitive buttons on the center armrest for the rear p
