Hyundai Malaysia has just previewed the 2023 Hyundai Tucson with a new 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and a 1.6T Max variant at the Premium Auto Car Expo 2023. The new variant serves as the new top-of-the-line offering for the 5-seater crossover. Thanks to our colleagues from Wapcar, we got a quick preview of what the new top-spec model offers and how it can be a game changer if Hyundai Philippines were to bring it in. If you are familiar with what the 5-seater crossover currently provid

The 2024 Chevrolet Trax has officially launched in the Philippine market, bringing new looks, larger dimensions, a new 137PS, 220Nm 1.2-liter turbo engine, and more features.
