Stand Out On The Road With The Jetour Dashing Lightning i-DM

The days of boring hybrid cars are over. If you want a greener means of transportation, you can now do so without the expense of style points and some street cred from your friends. And of course, if looks are important to you, a hybrid that stands out is a must.

Kia Confirms Arrival Of EV3; Expansion Of Hybrids In ASEAN

Kia has confirmed the arrival of the EV3 to the Asia-Pacific (ASEAN) region starting in 2025. The compact SUV is poised to become the new entry-point in Kia’s battery electric vehicle range and will join the EV6 and EV9.

Tesla Opens In The Philippines With The Model 3, Model Y: Prices, Specs, Features

Tesla Motors Philippines, as the company is called, is offering the Model 3 and Model Y initially with customer deliveries to start in early 2025.

2025 Kia Sportage Gets An Aggressive Makeover

The Philippines may or may not be seeing the return of the Sportage nameplate, but as they say, life goes on. In fact, the refreshed 2025 Sportage has just made its world debut in Kia’s home market of South Korea.

MG HS PHEV Confirmed For PH Market Early 2025 With 1,065-km Range, 220 Horsepower

After adding both BEV and HEVs to its line-up, MG Motor Philippines is poised to add its first PHEV too. Previewed at the Philippine International Motor Show, the MG HS PHEV will be coming to the local market early 2025.

PIMS: Nissan Preview X-Trail e-Power, Magnite For 2025

All attention over at Nissan may have been at the Nissan Z Nismo, but the brand also previewed two vehicles that will hit showrooms real soon: the X-Trail e-Power and the Magnite.

The boxy Jaecoo EJ6 has made its appearance at the 12th Philippine EV Summit at the SMX Convention Center. Slated for a market release “soon,” the EJ6 is available for test drives and pre-orders at the three-day show.

The 2024 GAC EMKOO Hybrid Is An Alluring Green Contender

I’m liking GAC’s aggression in the Philippines. They keep launching cars one after another and all of them are formidable in their respective segments in terms of features and pricing. However, they can’t turn a blind eye to the steady influx of hybrid cars in the market. These electrified cars are, obviously, selling otherwise, they won’t keep on arriving like tourists in Boracay. So, it was a matter of time for GAC Motor to enter the fray as well.

Chevrolet PH Teases 2025 Captiva

It looks like Chevrolet is ready to fire its initial salvo courtesy of its new distributor, Hariphil Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI). Their weapon of choice? The all-new 2025 Captiva.

BAIC Goes Electrified With 2024 B30e Dune. Starts At P 1.488M (w/ Specs)

BAIC is maintaining their momentum since they returned earlier this year. After the launch of their initial lineup, they’ve now added one more into their roster. This time, it’s the B30e Dune: their new entry-level, powerful off-roader with an attractive introductory price of P 1,488,000.

Review: 2025 BYD Sealion 6 DM-i

Hats off to the folks at BYD Cars Philippines—when it came to marketing their first-ever plug-in hybrid, the Sealion 6 DM-i. They managed to grab attention for one thing: its 1,100-kilometer range. They’ve emphasized that further when they decided to test the bladders (and patience) of the motoring press as they drove from Manila to Ilocos and back in just a tank of gas. But beyond the distance it can go between fill-ups, does it offer more than your average compact SUV? Turns out that it does, especially when you consider its P 1.548-million price tag.

DFSK Launches In The Philippines With 3 EV Line-Up (w/ Specs)

It wasn’t long ago when Seres made its official launch here in the Philippines. Now their official distributor here, QSJ Motors, has brought in its subsidiary brand DFSK. It stood for Dongfeng Sokon, since it started as a joint venture between Dongfeng and Sokon Group—the former name of Seres. DFSK is now wholly owned by Seres and they have three cars to serve as an introduction for the Philippine market.

The BYD Sealion 6 DM-i Just Redefined What Hybrids Can Do

BYD is taking the world by storm. They’ve been around for quite a while now but 2023 was their strongest year yet when they ended up as the numero uno New Energy Vehicle (NEV) brand globally. That means they sold more hybrids and battery-electric vehicles than any other brand. Their ‘NEV’ positioning is quite foreign to us though.

The Omoda 7 (Not To Be Confused With The Jaecoo 7) Just Recorded A Blistering Quick 0-100 kph Time Of 8 Seconds

Putting money where his mouth is, Omoda & Jaecoo’s international CEO, Shawn Xu, put their upcoming compact SUV, the Omoda 7 through an extreme-temperature test. And as a result, he managed a blistering 0 to 100 km/h time of 8 seconds.

GAC Motor PH Prices EMKOO Hybrid At P 1.698M (w/ Specs)

After previewing it in what seemed a lifetime ago at the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), GAC Motor Philippines has quietly introduced its first-ever hybrid vehicle for the local market: the GAC Emkoo Hybrid.

Here Are The Full Specs Of The 2025 Hyundai Tucson Gas, Diesel Variants (w/ Specs)

When Hyundai Motor Philippines launched the Tucson Hybrid last month, the automaker also used that occasion to update the rest of the Tucson line-up. Since the highlight was the electrified variant, not much information was given about the revamped gasoline and diesel models. However, as stocks start to arrive at dealerships this month, the automaker has now revealed all.

BYD Wants To Overthrow Toyota's Hybrid Leadership With The 2025 Sealion 6 DM-i

With a P 1.548-million price tag, BYD Cars Philippines sees the new Sealion 6 DM-i as a critical piece to achieving their growth plans in the country (full specs here, watch our first impressions here).

BYD Cars Philippines, under ACMobility, has launched the Sealion 6 DM-i Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). At P 1.548-million, it becomes BYD’s entry-level offering. Yet despite its affordable price tag, it packs a serious amount of space, features, and tech.

Review: 2024 Mazda CX-5 AWD Sport

It’s hard to believe but the current second-generation Mazda CX-5 has been around for roughly eight years now. While it’s managed to outlast some relationships, it was birthed in a completely different world back then—electrification wasn’t a buzz word and no one took Chinese car brands seriously. Fast forward to today and you’ve got everyone and their uncle talking about hybrids (or EVs) and the Chinese have carved a solid five percent share of sales. It’s this sort of world the 2024 CX-5 finds itself in and one where, in some regard, it’s playing catch up.
