Hybrid vehicles are becoming more popular in the Philippines thanks to their fuel-saving capabilities and advancements in battery technology. We saw an influx of new hybrid vehicles, with popular nameplates being the Toyota Corolla Cross and, more recently, the Haval Jolion and Haval H6 which have entered the market with hybrid technology under the hood. Hybrid vehicles also come with certain perks under Republic Act 11697 or the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA), where electrifi

If you’re in the market for a five-seat crossover, almost every brand has one on offer. But if your budget can only stretch to around ₱1.4 million, then you need to look at Chinese-made crossovers. Given that Chinese car brands aren’t the laughing stocks that they once were, there are two interesting choices in the market. One is the familiar Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, coming in at ₱1,250,000.

There are established Japanese stalwarts like the Toyota Avanza (and its luxurious Veloz sibling), the Mitsubishi Xpander (and its rebadged Nissan Livina sibling), the Suzuki Ertiga, and the upcoming all-new Honda

The new Honda HR-V is undoubtedly the most attracting models to be launched in 2022. Thailand and Singapore have already been the first two countries in ASEAN to get the new model, and it seems like Indonesia mgiht be the third market. In fact, the third-generation HR-V was caught undisguised in Indonesia for a commercial shoot. Based on a video recorded by @akuayman and shared by Indonesian automotive sleuth, Indra Fathan, two units of the all-new HR-V were spotted just outside Jakarta. The two

When we brought you the closer look of the 2020 Honda CR-V facelift last week, we also saw the all-new 2020 Honda City parking pretty outside. We know you're clamouring to know more - so we politely asked for the keys and took it for a spin. Please note that this is a brief review, and a detailed review will follow post-CMCO. We drove the V variant - which is the range-topping petrol variant before the upcoming hybrid RS - and here's what we think of it following a brief drive around Kuala Lumpu
