Suzuki Philippines has relocated its Suzuki Auto 3S Shop in Isabela to a more convenient and accessible location within the province. The dealership was originally situated at Km 335 Maharlika Highway, Barangay Batal, in Santiago City. Still, it has now been moved to a more spacious plot of land in Purok 3, Barangay Malapat in Cordon. The relocation effort was a collaboration between the Japanese automaker and ESJAY Auto Group’s Elite North Autocars, Inc. “We have decided to move to a new locati

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. Let’s pit these two in a Spec Showdown to see which come

Suzuki Auto Philippines has officially launched the 2023 Suzuki S-Presso with a new Auto Gear Shift (AGS) transmission. The new variant answers the call of its fans and car buyers for a clutchless version of the small hatchback.

Yesterday, as I saw a sports car pass by, I uttered - “that’s unnecessary”.

As I looked at their current models in the market, the hatchback Suzuki S-Presso has captured my attention because of its low price point in the market. Never have I encountered a vehicle as affordable as it is in the past years. Little that I know, it is indeed the most affordable

(Images from Toyota PH) The Toyota Rush was released in 2018 as an answer to the Mitsubishi Xpander. At the time, I thought the Xpander, which was a replacement to the Adventure, was an answer to the Innova and later on the Avanza, as Mitsubishi has been missing in the MPV segment. Of course, right now, there is the Honda B-RV, the Isuzu Ertiga. When the Rush came out, it looked like a cross between the Fortuner and an Innova. Or if two Fortuners have a baby, then it is the Rush. (But have you s

The Toyota Rush is one of the go-to MUV of the Filipino families alongside Mitsubishi Xpander and Honda BR-V. In 2019, Toyota introduced the Rush in the Philippine market. The all-new Toyota Rush was only available in seven-seater configuration (1.5 G) until its five-seater variant (1.5 E) came out. Known to some as the "Mini Fortuner" (because of its exterior design) it is better than an Avanza and cheaper than a Fortuner. Toyota Rush's exterior design allows for smooth mobility, less drag from
