Lexus announced in 2021 that it would be making a spiritual successor to the Lexus LFA, one of its most popular performance cars with a screaming V10. While the model may still be a few years away, Toyota Motor Corporation and, by extension, Lexus have filed a new trademark application for the “LFA” word mark in August with the US Patent and Trademark Office. The new model could resemble the Lexus Electrified Sport concept that the Japanese brand teased nearly two years ago with its sleek stylin

A fully-electric, high-performance vehicle is nothing new. The Kia EV6 GT, for instance, has 584 PS and can pull off insane powerslides, all while producing zero harmful emissions. But the EV6’s sibling, the Hyundai IONIQ 5, has now gotten an even wilder high-performance version. The IONIQ 5 N made its global debut on July 13, 2023 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the United Kingdom.

That means its EV sales will represent only 37% of the whole pie, and this will be buoyed by an EV lineup of 15 models by 2027. At its CEO Investor Day held last April 5th, Kia stated its plans to become a leading EV brand by raising

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 Electrified Streamliner matches its older sibling, the IONIQ 5's, winning ways as it takes the World Car of the Year, World Electric Vehicle of the Year, and World Car Design of the Year titles at the World Car Awards 2023. This year’s trophy haul matches what the IONIQ 5 won last year at the World Car Awards. The WCA’s international jury of 100 automotive journalists from 32 countries voted in favor of the IONIQ 6 for its “unique aerodynamic design and outstanding all-electr

The effects of the Executive Order No.12 signed by President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr., which effectively cut import duties of battery electric vehicles to 0% are now being felt with price changes to electric vehicles (EVs) nationwide. Brands like BYD Philippines has already adjusted its price list to reflect this change.
