At the recent Chery Technology Day in Wuhu, the Chinese car company explained its global strategy as it ramps up its export business. The nearly two-hour-long set of presentations was so detailed and exhaustive that you'd imagine you were sitting in a board presentation or a marketing sign-off meeting. But it made sense to show it to the 600 or so Chery-brand users and media in attendance. It was a captive audience if ever there was one. El Plan One key observation we made was how Chery seems to

As the world’s automakers scramble to launch the latest battery-electric vehicles (EV), companies like Honda Cars are still investing in hydrogen. Our friends from sister publication WapCar reported that a hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) version of the latest Honda CR-V was spotted in the Yamanashi Prefecture in Japan, some 110 km west of the capital Tokyo.

Ever since the Honda Mobilio and BR-V twins, the MPV market has had MPVs traipsing around as SUVs for buyers of all different kinds, and the Mitsubishi Xpander and Xpander Cross are no different. Both seat seven and use 1.5-liter engines mated to a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Both obviously sit on the same platform and use the same panels, underpinnings, and trims.

Buying an electrified vehicle is going to be a whole lot easier, at least in Indonesia. Our friends from AutoFun Indonesia reported that the Indonesian government is finalizing a host of financial incentives for people looking to buy a hybrid-electric or fully electric vehicle (EV). As of press time, an estimated 80 million rupiah (₱283,000) discount may be given to full EV buyers, while hybrid owners may get 40 million (₱141,000) rupiah off. However, these will only be offered to models that ar

When the 2022 Toyota Avanza came out, some people hold their pockets and wait for the Toyota Veloz to be introduced. Originally, the Veloz was launched as the top-of-the-line variant of the previous generation Avanza. In 2021, Toyota Motor Corporation decided that the Veloz should have its nameplate and get separated from the Avanza lineup. A few months after the new-generation Avanza was made available, the much-awaited Veloz was introduced a little upscaled compared to the Avanza. Although it
