Disclosure: GWM Philippines kindly lent me a 2023 Haval Jolion Supreme HEV for eight days. It arrived with loaded RFID cards and a Shell fuel card. AutoFun Philippines paid for a carwash. When I was a kid, I swore by one specific brand of orange juice (which I shall not name, but it’s a brand that’s beloved by many). I simply could not have a meal without this overly sugary beverage that greatly contributed to my, shall we say, “portly” physique in grade school. And it had so many artificial ing

Before you rise up in arms about the safety comparison between the next-generation Ford Territory versus its older version, here is a disclaimer.

Ford Philippines recently opened a reservation portal for the 2023 Ford Territory. While the website does not reveal much about the next-gen 5-seater crossover SUV, it highlights some key features.
