Filipino car buyers who want seven seats and a Honda badge right now can turn to the highly competent Honda BR-V. That’s because the current-generation Honda CR-V will officially be replaced on Sept. 13, 2023.

The Axia is the Malaysian sibling of the recently launched, next-generation Toyota Agya, which is also known as the Toyota Wigo in

Toyota Motor Philippines has increased the price of the Toyota Corolla Cross, and Toyota Hilux for 2023. This marks the second time Toyota has increased the pricing of the Hilux since their recent spec upgrade in August 2022. Why the price increase? The Toyota Hilux now gets local data communication modules (LDCM) connected to the car’s electronic control unit that lets the vehicle send data like fuel level, warnings, and kilometer readings to the brand’s local and regional servers.

Hats off to the 2022 Honda Civic Type R for cruising to a high spot in reviews of its class, hailing as the best compact car of its category in 2022. This car entry by Honda is being sold at Php3.18 million in the Philippines. The price of this Japanese-made vehicle shows to be an expensive model car.
