Even with the dozens of cars that we write about each month, it’s hard to forget a striking face. This was what we discovered when Audi Philippines posted on Facebook about an electric vehicle (EV) that it will launch on Aug. 5, 2023 at the 30th East B Open Parking area in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City. The car on the poster has Audi’s familiar pointed LED headlights with four strakes that form part of the LED daytime running lights. But distinctive features of this upcoming EV are the pian

Chinese carmaker Great Wall Motor (GWM) is building its presence in the Philippines with its electrified lineup. But in other parts of the world, the brand also sells Tanks – no, not the ones used on the battlefield. GWM’s Tank brand specializes in luxury sport-utility vehicles (SUVs), with the Tank 300 making its global debut on July 2020. This was followed by the seven-seater Tank 500, unveiled globally on August 2021 and appeared on March 2023 at the Bangkok International Motor Show. Unlike m

The Japanese carmaker announced in a December 2022 press statement that the Lexus IS and ES sedans, along with the NX and RX crossovers, can be leased through Toyota Financial Services' “KINTO One” program. A lease is a type of financing where a buyer pays a monthly fee over a set period, but the owner

Rightly or wrongly, we’ve always thought about Jaguar cars as designed for the older, more mature segment of car buyers. Despite its deliberate transformation into a more dynamic, modern, and chic luxury brand in the last few decades, Jaguar has yet to outgrow this stigma with its cars. So when it decided to enter the fast-growing SUV segment in 2016, the F-Pace was supposed to be its ticket to bite into the then-growing pie. SUVs are highly sought-after vehicles among all car brands, and with t

If you're raring to test drive the next-generation Ford Ranger and Ford Everest, you'd better head to the Activity Park of Ayala Malls Solenad in Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna this weekend, August 26 to 28, 2022. The second leg of the Ford Island Conquest test drive will feature the two latest models in Ford's pickup and SUV lineup. The 3-day test drive event will not only have a dynamic display of the next-generation Ford Ranger and Everest but will also let you have a go at them with on-road test
