Minute dimensions, generous ground clearance, and no clutch pedal. These three ingredients form the recipe for sales success in the Philippines. And no car has done it quite as well thus far as the Toyota Raize subcompact crossover. But the little Toyota faces stiff competition from the Chinese carmaker that’s always full of surprises – the new Geely GX3 Pro is priced close to the Raize E CVT, while offering more generous equipment levels.

The all-new 2023 Toyota Wigo has made its debut in the ASEAN, with Malaysia getting the Perodua Axia and Indonesia getting the Toyota Agya and the Daihatsu Ayla. While all three versions are the Wigo, with slightly altered specifications for their respective market, they each bring something unique to the table.

The Toyota Hilux pick-up is renowned for its seemingly endless dependability on or off the tarmac. But Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has likewise beefed up the Hilux's safety systems over the years. The company said in an October 2022 press statement that the top-of-the-line Hilux Conquest and Hilux GR-S variants come with Pre-Collision System, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Departure Alert.
