A quick visit to the official website of Toyota Motor Philippines reveals something strange about the Toyota Corolla Altis. While its variants have been slimmed down to just three models, the GR-S, GR-S CVT, and the E CVT, the engine displacement has been changed.

Hear me out, though, because I know there is still a lot of controversy over Chinese vehicles, especially with the re

Hybrid vehicles are becoming more popular in the Philippines thanks to their fuel-saving capabilities and advancements in battery technology. We saw an influx of new hybrid vehicles, with popular nameplates being the Toyota Corolla Cross and, more recently, the Haval Jolion and Haval H6 which have entered the market with hybrid technology under the hood.
