Disclosure: Hyundai Philippines lent us the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 test unit for seven days with a full gas tank and access to its RFID cards. If you have watched F1 recently and are a fan of Ferrari, then you will have probably encountered Carlos Sainz, Jr. singing Smooth Operator. While the song itself is self-explanatory in what it's about, it also applies to a recent test unit that we got in the form of the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 GLS. It may not be the fastest version of the vehicle available, like

Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) made waves when it launched the all-new CR-V on September 2023. Besides being the latest generation of an iconic model, the 2024 Honda CR-V is likewise the first hybrid in the HCPI lineup since the Honda Legend went off into the sunset some years ago. However, many were startled by the CR-V’s pricetag – the non-hybrid 2WD model starts out at ₱2,100,000, while the top-spec hybrid RS e:HEV costs ₱2,590,000 (just slightly undercutting the Toyota RAV4 HEV).

The 2024 all-new Honda CR-V will be making its ASEAN region debut on March 20, 2023, in Thailand. The seven-seater crossover has aged well in the Philippines as it has been a popular choice for those looking for a capable vehicle with gasoline and turbo-diesel powertrains. However, the local model is getting long in the tooth with its design already outdated by its smaller siblings, such as the Honda BR-V and Honda HR-V. With the all-new model set to debut in Thailand soon, we want to see a few

Just days after we reported on the teaser photos of the 2023 Hyundai Verna, Hyundai India has released official sketches of the upcoming model. The Verna subcompact sedan (known locally as the Hyundai Accent) features a radical redesign from the previous-generation model, which was dropped from the local lineup after Hyundai Motor Philippines took over the Korean brand's passenger-car operations on June 2022. Up front is Hyundai’s highly distinct LED running light that runs across the hoodline,

With more than 10,000 examples on Philippine roads, the Ford Territory can be considered a runaway hit. Ford took a risk to launch the compact crossover in the middle of a pandemic two years ago. People have learned to adapt to the new normal, and they’ve held their finances in anticipation of Covid-19 exposure. But the Ford Territory has proven itself a value proposition too good to ignore.
