Chery Auto PH Brings in the Most Affordable EV in the Country With the 2020 Arrizo 5e

Crossover specialist Chery Auto, distributed locally by United Asia Automotive Group Inc. (UAAGI), is crossing over to a new genre—not just for them, but for the whole Philippine car industry.

Kia has finally taken the wraps off its new small SUV: the Sonet. To be sold in India first, the Korean carmaker has recently confirmed that it’ll make its way to other global markets soon thereafter.

Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) continues its expansion and dealer modernization efforts with the recent opening of its 43rd dealership, and its third Isuzu Outlet Standardization (IOS) dealership facility, this time in Pagadian City in Zamboanga del Sur.

With stricter quarantine measures re-imposed in parts of the country once again, many will be relying on delivery services for their everyday essential needs. To help ensure the safety of delivery riders, PayMaya is encouraging them to use contactless payments via PayMaya QR in partner merchants, which will also give them additional benefits and rewards as well.

Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. mounted its first-ever online Dealer Conference to honor the achievements of its dealerships. As part of the new normal, the annual recognition event was shared to the 34 dealers nationwide through an online platform.

There’s a shake up atop the management of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC). The Japanese carmaker announced that Osamu Masuko resigned today as chairman of the board and representative executive officer of MMC due to health reasons.

After a 128-day delay, Nissan Philippines is now announcing that its 370Z sportscar is now available at selected dealers nationwide starting today.

Bowmore Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky and Aston Martin have unveiled their first collaborative creation: the Black Bowmore DB5 1964. With only 25 bottles for sale, this will be an exceptionally rare bottle of single malt whisky.

The Corolla Cross is coming very soon, and with that Toyota Motor Philippines is finally going to devour on a piece of the compact crossover pie. And while spec and pricing details will certainly leak before its launch, let’s talk about one thing: just how sloppy the design is.

Apparently, the Toyota Prius C is Still Around and It Gets the Gazoo Racing Treatment

Pardon me if I sit here, stunned. Apparently, the Toyota Prius c (aka Aqua) is still pretty much a thing in Japan that the carmaker just gave it the trendy Gazoo Racing treatment.

Nissan in the Philippines has enhanced its digital strategy with the introduction of the brand’s first virtual showroom in the Asia & Oceania region, giving customers immersive online access to the current Nissan line-up.

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) finds ways to keep the country moving forward and with that continues with their Restart Your Journey promo until the end of August.

The 1992 McLaren F1 was something that world had never seen before. And, until Gordon Murray delivered the new T.50, it’s something we never expected to see again. It was a car made completely without compromise, perhaps why it is now one of the most sought-after cars in the world.

When Mazda first released information on their North America-exclusive Mazda3 Turbo, they didn’t give much detail except for the output of its force-fed 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G engine. As it gets closer to its launch States side, the Japanese carmaker has released more info, more photos, and a list of appearance packages they’re making available.

Get Selected Jaguar and Land Rover Models at Zero Percent Interest for 5 Years

All British Cars (ABC), the sole authorized dealership of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles announces a five-year zero percent interest offer on selected vehicles until the end of August.

If you’re thinking of buying a CTEK battery charger, now would be a good time as the official distributor has brought back their CTEK MXS 5.0 Value Pack. Best of all? You can now get it online via Lazada.

Taking a very different approach compared to typical supercars with their fancy electronics or complicated hybrid or even turbo tech, Gordon Murray is showing off his ground-breaking T.50 in full for the very first time, and naturally from the man behind the McLaren F1, it’s mighty impressive.

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) will now be requiring face shields for everyone taking public transportation starting August 15, 2020.

In a rather unique promo (and one that pretty much sums up the current situation), Chery Auto Philippines is giving away a free UV disinfection lamp for every new vehicle sold until August 31, 2020.

Ford Motor Company today announced that Jim Hackett, who has led the company’s transformation since 2017, plans to retire from the company. Jim Farley has been named the company’s new president and CEO and will join the board of directors, effective October 1.

This August, Honda Cars Philippines is announcing the last call on its “Great Deals, Brighter Tomorrow” promo which sees discounts of up to P 300,000.

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board or LTFRB is urging private companies to use public utility vehicles (PUVs) grounded during the MECQ as company shuttles.

The Department of Transportation and the Land Transportation Office-Philippines (LTO) are fast-tracking the operationalization of private motor vehicle inspection centers (PMVICs) to cater to the vehicle inspection need of owners as requirement for registration.

After previewing it last December alongside the refreshed Land Rover Discovery Sport, Coventry Motors Corporation, the exclusive distributor of the iconic British premium SUV brand joins the rest of Asia in officially welcoming the all-new Defender this August.

The lack of public transportation during the National Capital Region’s shift back to MECQ (Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine) means that motorcycle back riding has now been allowed even if the riders aren’t related.

Isuzu Philippines has quietly upgraded its D-Max LS for the 2020 model year with a new wheel and tire package for better handling.

Kia Philippines is extending its “Worth the Drive Deals” this August and with that offers flexible offers such as cash discounts, low downpayments, low monthly amortization, or zero percent interest.
