First Drive: 2023 Hyundai Creta And 2023 Hyundai Stargazer

The Creta and Stargazer seem like they’ve got nothing in common. Sure enough, look at them and except for the stylized “H” logo at the front, there’s almost no family resemblance. Yet, underneath, these two share the same powertrain and platform. The most vital ingredients to any new car, Hyundai has built one so flexible that it’s able to cater to vastly different audiences very well.

Such is the design power of Kia Philippines’ first all-electric vehicle and why it could be vital to its success, at least locally.

There’s no beating around the bush: the Mitsubishi Montero Sport is getting old. The current generation was first launched locally back in 2016 (it was subsequently refreshed in 2019) which means it’s now overshadowed by newer offerings.

Out Of My Comfort Zone: Taking The Mazda BT-50 Camping And (Sort Of) Loving It

I’m a man of routine, and that doesn’t bother me at all.
