Listen, this isn’t a history lesson of how Chinese manufacturers have leveled up over the recent years. This isn’t also about how this particular one, Geely now happens to own brands like Volvo and Lotus. Instead, it’s best to discuss the matter at hand: the Azkarra. See, Geely’s made inroads in the Philippines thanks to its mix of high specs and low prices. It’s a great way to draw the curious to, at the very least, check out their cars. But does all that new-fangled really translate to a world-class drive?

Last April, just a month into the implementation of the community quarantine in Luzon, Fitch Solutions published an analysis projecting that Philippine auto sales will remain flat (grow 0.4 percent) this year.

Hino Motors Philippines reopened its doors to Filipinos as the national quarantine guidelines eased up. All of Hino’s 21 dealerships nationwide are back in operations.

Maxus Philippines is celebrating its first year in the Philippines by joining the country’s first and leading e-commerce platform, Lazada.
