The Geely GX3 Pro was unveiled to the Philippine market at the 2023 Manila International Motor Show (MIAS). Geely Philippines displayed the all-new crossover with no promise of an official launch, as the automaker still wondered if the model would make sense in the local market. Fast forward to July 2023 and it appears that the Chinese automaker is ready to officially launch the GX3 Pro, according to multiple sources with intimate knowledge of the upcoming model, but requested anonymity for lack

The Geely Coolray initially debuted in 2019 and shook the Philippine car industry thanks to its affordable pricing, powerful engine, and extensive features. It quickly became a hot topic as many rushed to buy the crossover and experience a new generation of Chinese vehicles. While some buyers hesitated to try the crossover, glowing reviews from owners and media outlets converted some of them to try it out.

Jetour, a subsidiary of the Chery Holding Group, is aiming to do the same thing with the Dashing crossover, which wades into battle with heaps of style and tech never before seen in c

The fastest-growing segment in the Philippines is arguably the one most confusing – the Subcompact Crossover SUV. What even is it? It’s a minuscule SUV based on an already tiny Hatchback. Think high-riding Toyota Yaris. So why is it in demand? Simple: It’s an SUV minus the size. It affords people the Adventurer lifestyle without sacrificing practicality, ease of drivability, and fuel consumption. No surprise, companies that cashed in on the trend mostly come from China, a country that’s effectiv

We tipped our hats off to Ford Motors (FM) for giving the world Ford Ecosport along with its darling siblings (Titanium, SE, S, SES trims), considering that this remarkable (in a way) vehicle had once established a fine reputation as a phenomenal blockbuster hit; in terms of lucrative automotive sales. Therefore, it was almost a complete surprise to everyone about the car being “discontinued” production-wise, from the lineup of saleable crossover SUVs. Thus, the ensuing effect of the car’s disco
