If Mercedes-Benz Thinks This is the Future of Luxury Then We're in Trouble

If Mercedes-Benz thinks that this the future of luxury, well, we might as well gouge our eyes out. Meet Project Geländewagen a collaboration between the German automaker and Chief Creative Director and Founder of Off-White and Men’s Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton Virgil Abloh.

With the Jimny’s European future thrown into doubt due to stricter emissions over there, Suzuki has managed to find a way to skirt the rules by selling it as this: an “N1” commercial vehicle.

Why not throw additional discounts like other car manufacturers? If Mazda says buyers can save between P 90,000 to P 150,000 for five years of free service, why not just give it to buyers as a cash discount? That’s one of the more common questioned asked when Mazda Philippines made the move to offer owners a free 5-year service plan. The answer, it seems, is down to providing something that’s more beneficial to owners.

Exciting days ahead as Geely Philippines offers great deals to its customers in celebration of its first anniversary in the Philippine automotive market. Under the anniversary drive promo which will run up to October 31, 2020, additional savings and a free fuel card from Shell await Geely customers. In addition, Coolray and Azakarra buyers will get a chance win the cars they purchased.

Making its global debut in a week’s time, Hyundai has released footage of the all-new, fourth-generation Tucson undergoing rigorous testing.

Nissan in the Philippines is offering customers useful discounts to help them acquire a safe mode of transportation by purchasing a Nissan vehicle under the Nissan Safer Drives and Deals promo, until September 30, 2020.

Each New Mazda Vehicle Now Comes with 5 Years Free Periodic Maintenance Service

Continuing its celebration of the brand’s 100th Anniversary, Mazda Philippines changes the paradigm in customer service once more by upgrading its industry-leading Free Periodic Maintenance Service (PMS) coverage from three to five years.

Mitsubishi Motor Philippines has quietly brought in a refreshed version of its Xpander MPV. While the limelight is still firmly focused on the top-trim Xpander Cross, the rest of the range adds some visual tweaks and convenience features.

When Toyota launched the all-new Fortuner way back in 2016, some thought that the design looked a bit too effeminate. And while a refresh this year did toughen the looks a tad, there are still those who wanted something tougher. At these times, the aftermarket scene always obliges.

Delayed from late April, the Beijing Auto Show (Auto China) is set to begin on September 26, 2020. This makes it the sole survivor (so far) of all the major international auto exhibitions. Whether anyone attends is another matter.

Isuzu has just started exports of the all-new D-Max last September 1, 2020. Sadly, the first market to receive the full model change won’t be the Philippines. It’ll be Australia.

Do you remember the Mitsubishi Fuzion? For a time, it was touted as an alterative to the then newly-launched Toyota Innova nameplate way back in 2005. Well, you’d be surprised that 15 years on, it’s still alive, spawning this rather odd-looking pickup truck too.

The Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FFCCCII) headed by President Henry Lim Bon Liong donated 6 brand new SWAT Vehicles to the City of Manila. The Toyota Hilux units were modified by Overland Kings to meet the needs of the Manila Police Department’s Special Weapons Action Team (MPD-SWAT). This is the organization’s way to give back to the community and support the government’s efforts against crime and terrorism.

Early this year, Toyota president Akio Toyoda sent a heartfelt greeting to Mazda on their 100th anniversary. In it, he recalled the time when he participated in the Mazda Roadster (MX-5) 4-Hour Endurance Race where he actually finished ahead of the Mazda works team.

With the help of a 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder, Chloe Chambers is now a Guinness World Records holder for Fastest Vehicle Slalom.

Pepsi Chooses the Suzuki Carry

Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI) chose the Suzuki Carry to deliver their products to consumers nationwide. The beverage giant specifically chose the light commercial truck for its size, maneuverability, and features.

What happens when you’re a fan of both the Ford F-150 and Tesla? Well we have one possible answer thanks to this Bosnian fan.

Just about every car brand has talked about car servicing in “the new normal.” Talking about disinfection, sanitization, proper social distancing measures, and all that has become so common place that to discuss again here would be like beating a dead horse.

Just how far can you go with the Ford Ranger? With an 80-liter tank size, Ford officially says it’s possible to go more than 800 kilometers per tank of diesel. But leave it to two guys when went further with just one mission: to find out how much mileage they can squeeze out of a single tank.

In case you missed it, Mazda has been undergoing a premium transformation. While the movement is still anchored pretty much on their award-winning design, they’ve also managed to level up in terms of trim and standard equipment. Having said that, a handful of their cars got stuck in no land’s land—neither premium nor affordable. One such vehicle is the 2020 Mazda2.

By naming its team Alpine from the 2021 season, Renault has chosen to put the colors of French excellence at the heart of Formula 1. Already recognized for its records and successes in endurance and rallying, the Alpine name naturally finds its place in the high standards, prestige and performance of Formula 1.

Never Worry About Gas Bills with Mitsubishi PH's 2021 Outlander PHEV (w/ Specs)

After being previewed at several motor shows and events, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines has finally fulfilled its promise, and has officially launched the 2021 Outlander PHEV. This is nine months after its announcement at a dealer conference last January.

The Honda Odyssey Gets a Second Refresh for 2021

It’s hard to believe but the current Odyssey has been around since 2013. Launched in the Philippine market in 2015, it’s undergone one refresh to date. Well, better make that two because Honda’s executive MPV is getting yet another refresh for 2021, and this one will be the most substantial yet.

You asked and we obliged. After comparing the 2021 Ford Territory versus its Japanese and Korean rivals, we’ve decided to do a part two. This time, we’re pitting it against its rivals from a similar country of origin: China.

Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) announced that the company was able to achieve its 300,000-unit sales milestone within its August selling month.

Staying committed to providing highly reliable products and services, Hino Balintawak and Hino Pasig dealers stay abreast of the needs of its customers by upgrading their facilities. This initiative is supported by Hino Motors Philippines (HMP), the exclusive distributor of Hino trucks and buses in the country.

After the launch of the Renegade and Compass plug-in hybrids, Jeep is expanding its electrified vehicle offering by launching the Wrangler’s first-ever electrified variant: the Wrangler 4xe. Confirmed for a global launch in early 2021, it will be the most capable, technically advanced, and eco-friendly Wrangler ever.
