Even with the dozens of cars that we write about each month, it’s hard to forget a striking face. This was what we discovered when Audi Philippines posted on Facebook about an electric vehicle (EV) that it will launch on Aug. 5, 2023 at the 30th East B Open Parking area in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City. The car on the poster has Audi’s familiar pointed LED headlights with four strakes that form part of the LED daytime running lights. But distinctive features of this upcoming EV are the pian

A fully-electric, high-performance vehicle is nothing new. The Kia EV6 GT, for instance, has 584 PS and can pull off insane powerslides, all while producing zero harmful emissions. But the EV6’s sibling, the Hyundai IONIQ 5, has now gotten an even wilder high-performance version. The IONIQ 5 N made its global debut on July 13, 2023 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the United Kingdom.

Audi launched on Nov. 9, 2022 a facelifted version of its flagship electric sport-utility vehicle (SUV). Following some rather mysterious teaser photos, the Q8 e-tron (and its Sportback sibling) is finally out in the open and sports a more aggressive face. The previous model's boomerang-style headlights and heptagonal grill are still there, but Audi added some piano-black or silver accents and larger lower bumper openings to give it a bigger scowl. The side profile also remains largely similar,

If you think Lexus is a brand that caters only to middle-aged men, loaded car enthusiasts, and company CEOs, then you must not have heard of the UX yet. Lexus considers the UX subcompact crossover as its gateway model, meaning it is the most affordable crossover in the lot. It still showcases the brand’s design and technologies despite being in the lower tier of the lineup. But there’s nothing much lower-tier about the Lexus UX as it now sports a Hybrid Electric powertrain under the hood for 202

Isn't it quite ironic that many car companies nowadays are more focused on providing the latest touchscreen controls, comfort features, cameras, and even electronic nannies and engine efficiency innovations rather than making their cars more satisfying to drive? Fortunately, there are a number of brands that still think that the act of driving should be an art. For them, driving refinement is a continuous process for improvement. And despite some of them providing luxury-levels of comfort and co
