Volkswagen Philippines has been quiet in the automotive market for some time, with its last launch being the Volkswagen Cross Santana and new colors for the Volkswagen T-Cross. However, something interesting happened with the launch of the Volkswagen Tharu as the newest crossover to join the brand’s local lineup. It is positioned above the T-Cross and where the Volkswagen Tiguan used to be in the lineup. Today, we will compare it against another new vehicle within the same price bracket with the

As the world’s automakers scramble to launch the latest battery-electric vehicles (EV), companies like Honda Cars are still investing in hydrogen. Our friends from sister publication WapCar reported that a hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) version of the latest Honda CR-V was spotted in the Yamanashi Prefecture in Japan, some 110 km west of the capital Tokyo. The photos were posted on X (formerly Twitter) by TW MC, showing a CR-V wrapped in a bright blue livery with the word “Hydrogen”

The CR-V RS e:HEV packs a 2.0-liter, twin-cam, 16-valve inline-4 gasoline engine mated to an electric motor. The combined output is 184 PS and 355 Nm of torque, coursed through a continuously variable transmission. The e:HEV full-hybrid system also has an EV Drive Mode that lets the vehicle run solely on battery

Honda Cars Philippines Inc. has made it very clear that it plans to reintroduce hybrids locally in 2023. Although the carmaker has remained mum on which of its e:HEV hybrid models it plans to bring in, one strong candidate is the all-new 2023 Honda CR-V. The crossover comes in two powertrains. One is a turbocharged 1.5-liter, twin-cam, 16-valve inline-4 gasoline engine producing 193 PS and 243 Nm of torque that is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The other is a 2.0-liter, twi

Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) is bringing out all its wares at the September 15-18, 2022, Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS). However, one question that the Japanese automaker went omerta upon is what all-new model they will unveil at PIMS. The current BR-V was launched at the 2016 PIMS as a completely built-up (CBU) unit.
