Chinese carmaker Jetour has finally arrived in the Visayas region! The company announced in an October 2023 press statement that Jetour Auto Bacolod is now open for business. It features a 284-square-meter showroom that can display six Jetour models and a shared service area that can accommodate up to five cars. “Now that Jetour Auto Bacolod is here, we can pursue our goal of providing quality value-laden vehicles to our kababayans [countrymen] in Negros Occidental and neighboring provinces in t

The 2023 Toyota Wigo is a reasonably new hatchback to the segment; its seen launches across the ASEAN region, with each new version bringing something new. We have the likes of the Toyota Agya, a more basic version of the hatchback with more power, and the Perodua Axia, which retains its old 1.0-liter gasoline engine but is upgraded with better safety and more technology.
