The next-generation Ford Everest is one of the most technologically advanced sport-utility vehicles in its class. And sitting at the top of the tree is the Everest Titanium 4x4, which comes standard with a comprehensive active-safety suite, Active Park Assist and a massive, portrait-orientation touchscreen infotainment system. This top-spec Everest also has a twin-turbocharged diesel engine mated to a 10-speed automatic gearbox. The latter is controlled by an electronic gear selector, which has

The Mitsubishi Montero Sport is one of the most popular SUVs in the local market, and it’s not surprising that multiple car clubs bear its name. We had the privilege of joining one of the said clubs in an important gathering last August 27, 2023. The Montero Sport Pilipinas (MSP) celebrated its 4th anniversary last August 27. Mitsubishi Global City in Taguig very kindly opened its doors on a Sunday so the establishment could serve as the venue. Before the festivities started, we had a chance to

Jetour Philippines has just celebrated 100 days in the local automotive market. During this period, the new Chinese brand has achieved several key milestones that have become keys to its success.

Well, the 2023 Geely Okavango presents itself as a viable alternative to regular SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner and the Mitsubishi Montero Sport. But there’s a new kid in town – and it’s out for the Okavango’s slice of the pie. The 2023 Jetour X70 Plus is the top-of

Have you ever wanted to have your brand-new Toyota Wigo, but you can’t handle heavy monthly payments? Toyota Motor Philippines said in a January 2023 press statement that you can bring home the Wigo 1.0 E M/T at just ₱6,256 a month through its Pay Light option, which requires a 50-percent downpayment and 60 months amortization. The same financing plan means you can also have a Toyota Veloz 1.5 G CVT at ₱13,210 a month or a Toyota Rush E 1.5 M/T at ₱10,724 a month. The Pay Light option is availab

The Toyota Fortuner is essentially a 7-seater SUV version of the Toyota Hilux. It’s mechanically identical as the Hilux, sharing the same ladder frame chassis as well as the 2.4-litre intercooled VNT turbo diesel and 6-speed automatic transmission.
