After two years as the Philippines’ most searched car brand (2020 and 2021), Honda has been de-throned from the top spot by who else but undisputed market leader, Toyota.

It’s not all bad news at Honda Cars Philippines. Despite an increase in suggested retail price starting this month, the Japanese carmaker is offering deals and special offers this month with their New Year, New Deals promo until January 31, 2023.

Heads-up, 7-seater SUV/MPV buyers: the refreshed Mitsubishi Xpander Cross is launching this January 26, 2023.

Aside from Medium Red Mica, which is an indent order color, the rest of the palette is dominated by shades of gray: White Diamond, Sterling Silver Metallic, Graphite Gray Metallic, and Jet Black Mica.

Honda Cars Philippines is greeting 2023 with a substantial adjustment in their vehicles’ suggested retail price.

A Chinese Car Caught Fire At The Guangzhou Auto Show

The long delayed 2022 Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition (aka Guangzhou Auto Show) was off to a fiery start when one of the concept cars presented at the show caught fire.

At the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon, Subaru used the annual tuning show to present the Levorg (local market WRX Wagon) tweaked by their in-house tuner, STI. Known as the Levorg STI Sport, it featured handling enhancements led by the brand’s first use of electronically-controlled dampers. Three Tokyo Auto Salons later, Subaru is bringing a sharper version of their fast grocery-getter appropriately named the Levorg STI Sport Sharp (stylistically written as Levorg STI Sport #).

Ford Philippines returned to in-person volunteer activities last September to celebrate its annual Global Caring Month, with its employees participating in various community-building programs for the entire month.

Subaru continues to embrace its outdoorsy image with the Crosstrek Boost Gear Concept for the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon. Based on the recently launched all-new Crosstrek, the Crosstrek Boost Gear Concept shows what a potential off-road-centric version of the compact crossover would be like.

GAC Motor has unveiled the all-new GS3—a compact crossover designed for Gen Z buyers.

Hyundai’s flagship SUV, the Palisade, makes its return to the Hyundai Motor Philippines (HMPH) website carrying a P 3.780-million price tag.

Specifically aiming to promote Good Health and Well-Being to community, IPC donated a total of P 1 million cash to four select hospitals in different regions of the Philippines with each hospital receiving P 250,000 cash to aid in their projects and necessities.

Could the end of the road be near for the Mitsubishi Mirage? That seems to be the case, as its discontinuation has just been announced for its home market of Japan.

In celebration of 50 years of Subaru’s all-wheel drive technology, the 6-star brand is bringing back the Forester XT, at least for the Japanese market.
