Racist. Sexist. Biased. I’ve received all sorts of hate with my review of the Territory Titanium+. It didn’t sit too well with Ford that they actually pulled out their support. Shit happens, I guess.

2021 Maxus G50 vs 2020 Toyota Innova

With Maxus Philippines launching the G50 MPV, it’s about time that the best-selling Toyota Innova would get a worthy competition. Seeking to gain the attention of Filipino families, these modern day MPVs are squaring off with their high equipment level and relatively affordable price tags. The question is, which MPV reigns supreme?

About a year since its brand introduction, Maxus has made in-roads in the Philippine automotive market with the introduction of its V80 and G10 passenger vans, and the T60 pickup truck. Now, with the introduction of its newest offering, the 2021 G50 MPV, Maxus has finally brought the right arsenal to hit the mainstream.

General Motors is betting big on electrification, intelligent driving, and connectivity in one of its key markets, China. The company says it will roll out technologies including its new global EV platform and the Ultinum battery system.

With the launch of the second-generation 2021 Levorg, Subaru also pulled the curtains off the newest generation of EyeSight—it’s stereoscopic camera-based driver assist system. Sadly, Subaru has confirmed that this new piece of tech will be available exclusively to Japan first.

If you want to know exactly what the Ford Territory is, she’s the girl you picked up at the bar for a one-night stand, only to wake up the following morning (after the deed is done, of course) and realize: holy crap, she’s not as pretty as you thought she was.

Sitting atop the Mazda range is the three-row CX-9. As the brand’s flagship SUV, it brings the brand’s vision of premium to fruition by focusing on the true essence of luxury with its sophisticated style, well-appointed interior, and balanced dynamics.

With its Toyota platform mate, the Avalon getting available all-wheel drive, it’s quite surprising it took Lexus this long to announce an all-wheel drive variant of its mid-sized sedan offering, the ES. Well, better late than never, we suppose.
