GWM Philippines recently invited us to an event where the brand previewed its future lineup of cars, which included the 2024 GWM Tank 300. It's one of the brand’s latest SUVs with rugged looks and excellent off-roading capabilities.

Oil price hikes are unpredictable and the figures seem out of the line. I know that each one of us is doing our part to get over this plight. We are all working out alternatives to minimize financial heartbreak. Some have considered public modes of transportation like taking the bus, jeepn

When it comes to certain specifications and features; no two Toyota Hilux are built exactly alike (much like the veritable snowflake) which can be proven when you zero in among the smallest of details largely exhibited by a Philippine-spec 2022 Toyota Hilux GR Sport 2.8 DSL 4x4 AT and a 2022 Toyota er, Hilux, one that was largely built to accommodate European specifications. Moreover, when spot-checked from a certain angle, both these two aforementioned Hiluxs rather appear like two peas in a po

Toyota Innova is a capable multi-purpose vehicle. Because of its enormous abilities, the Innova is often mistaken for a sport utility vehicle. In the Philippines, the Innova is a very popular model fit for families and businesses because of its generous space capacity. It is very seldom to encounter a Filipino who doesn’t know what Toyota Innova looks like, as this model is everywhere in the country.
