The all-new 2024 Hyundai Kona was launched on January 2023 in its home market of South Korea. The crossover is available with internal combustion (ICE), hybrid-electric (HEV), and battery-electric (BEV) variants, which is in line with the Korean carmaker’s drive to have 23 eco-friendly models by 2025. Styling-wise, the new Kona follows the spaceship-like design language of models like the Hyundai Staria van, with elements like the highly placed LED daytime-running-light strip and the low headlig

Mitsubishi’s roster of vehicles are success stories in their respective rights, but the Mitsubishi Xpander brand should tote its tale. After all, the Xpander began as a 2016 concept car that made its debut in Indonesia. Usually, a manufacturer’s concept car almost always makes its first appearance at a globally recognized car show.

It was like any other work day for 63-year-old Doreen Bacus on the morning of Sept. 24, 2022. As traffic thinned out on the corner of Elizalde Avenue and Aguirre Avenue in Barangay BF Homes in Paranaque City, the elderly street sweeper quickly headed into the street to broom up some clutter. Job done, she turns around to move to the next bit of trash on the street. A nearby CCTV camera sees what she can't: a white Mitsubishi Pajero barreling towards her. Without even braking or taking any avoidi

Mitsubishi's obsession with retaining the L300 brand every year is akin to Filipinos' obsession with Voltes V. It's long-standing, occasionally feel-good, sometimes head-scratching, and full of nostalgia. Most local folks feel the same about the Japanese diamond star nameplate. However, the spartan sturdiness of the all-purpose hauler made it a hit (especially in the provinces), so why mess around with a swinging act? The L300 platform can be configured depending on business needs. A ladder fram

Because of the continuously fluctuating fuel prices nowadays, aside from walking or riding a bicycle, what we need is a fuel-efficient vehicle to take us from point A to point B. No one could agree more to that, I bet. To answer that, several automakers are developing ways to improve the fuel efficiency of their vehicle models. But among all vehicles available in the local market today, the 2022 Suzuki S-Presso promises not just affordability, but fuel efficiency. What can we expect from the 202
