Disclosure: Nissan Philippines kindly lent me a 2023 Nissan Kicks e-POWER VL for seven days. It was delivered with a full tank of fuel and loaded RFID cars. AutoFun Philippines paid for a carwash. Prudence is a virtue that seems to be going the way of the dodo. With social media constantly bombarding us on how we should live (largely from so-called “influencers,” many of whom are able to do what they do because they are “stealth endorsers” who get freebies and perks), thinking things through can

These new powerplants will be game-changers for the CR-V as it will mark the first time turbocharged power has come to the crossover in the country. In addition, Honda Cars Philippines will have a hybrid model again, following

Mitsubishi Philippines has more than just a regular display planned for the 2023 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), as a Facebook post reveals some of its plans for the auto show. Unlike newer brands seeking to make a big splash at the event, Mitsubishi has a slightly more modest plan. The Facebook image post from the Japanese automaker indicates that it will be showing off a 1987 Mitsubishi Lancer as part of its heritage display and will be revealing a limited-edition, 60th-anniversary Mits

Looking at the Mitsubishi Xpander (Specs | News) nameplate’s sales performance last year, one can conclude that the entry-level multipurpose vehicle (MPV) is a sought-after brand. The MPV sold some 16,309 units last year – including its top-end Xpander Cross variants - and was number five in the country's top ten selling vehicle models. That said, Mitsubishi felt that the top end of the Xpander line (namely, the ₱1.328 million to ₱1.353 million Xpander Cross) had to be updated to remain a top-of
