Honda Cars Philippines Inc. said on March 2023 that it would bring in a hybrid model this year, following the phaseout of the Honda Legend luxury sedan a few years ago. The Japanese carmaker has made good on its promise with the launch of the all-new 2024 Honda CR-V on Sept. 13, 2023. AutoFun Philippines was the first to report that the brand’s venerable crossover would be launched with an electrified powertrain. The top-spec CR-V RS e:HEV packs a 2.0-liter, twin-cam, 16-valve inline-4 gasoline

When it comes to high-performing cars, the competition is tough as car manufacturers aim to provide several car models with the latest automotive innovations that benefit the driver and passengers. The 2022 Subaru WRX continues to be one of the most iconic cars from the company in terms of delivering the utmost quality and performance. But what do its critics say about it?

The hand that rocks the cradle are not the typical pair of hands one would usually spot on messing around with the greasy mechanical innards of the squeaky-clean er, say, Ford Ecosport. WHAT IS FORD ECOSPORT? In a sense, was a one-shot deal hatched by the visionary collective heads of those prime car magnates from Blue Oval, an exciting place dead-set on ruminating about mass-producing EVs (electric vehicles) by the truckload that would probably be operational by the year 2025, or so they say.

Scaling down. It may be a messy word to numerous car devotees, but clearly unavoidable. Indeed purveyors of expansive motors, Mercedes-AMG, as of late announced that its respected 4.0-litre, twin turbo V8 engines will be supplanted with hybrid 4-cylinder ones. Very a stun to the framework, yes. If you, like me, lived through the late 1980s and entire 1990s, you'd know that premium and performance cars of that era mostly came with large-capacity engines. 2.0-litre engines?

The ‘sports utility vehicle’ (SUV) segment may be a bit diluted now with the advent of everyone making small crossovers, but the Toyota Fortuner is a refreshing return to form of what an SUV should be. This 2.8 LTD is the range-topper of the three-variant wide, refreshed Fortuner range. Many have termed it to be a ‘baby Land Cruiser’, but that’s a tag that undercuts how capable this model is. If you have Php 2500k to spend and are looking for a new SUV that’s admittedly a bit different (but not
