2022 Avanza Offers 20 Percent Improvement In Fuel Economy Says Toyota

Toyota Motor Philippines understands that one of the main purchase considerations of new car buyers is fuel economy. And with record-high gasoline prices nowadays, every centavo saved in the fuel tank counts.

Review: 2022 Chery Tiggo 2 Pro

The entry-level car segment has become a battle ground these days thanks to Filipinos looking for basic, no-frills motoring. Plus, thanks to the entrance of Chinese-branded and China-sourced vehicles, choices that defy traditional feature and sizing convention have arrived as well. One such vehicle is the Chery Tiggo 2. Starting at P 695,000, it’s still the second cheapest new SUV you can buy locally; with only the dinky Suzuki S-Presso being more affordable.

For Lexus, a lot is riding on the 2022 NX. It is, if you were to follow their statements, the start of a new chapter for the luxury car brand.

It reads great on both paper and principle, but fundamentally, it goes beyond that. The most important aspect that the Lexus NX managed to achieve here is a qualitative difference; a difference that helps keep it unique, and thus, helps it find its voice in an increasingly crowded segment.

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines has sprung a surprise by opening the reservation books for the refreshed 2022 Xpander just four months after its global debut last November.

The roadmap for Hyundai’s battery electric vehicle (BEV) is supported by: strengthening BEV line-ups, optimizing manufacturing capacity, and securing hardware and software competitiveness.

When Honda launched the all-new 2022 Civic last November, there was something that caught the attention of long-time fans of the brand, and it had nothing to do with the VTEC Turbo engine or the Honda SENSING. Instead, it had to do something with the variant names.

Four hundred. That’s the number of 11th generation Civics Honda Cars Philippines has been able to sell so far since its launch in November. That may not seem like a large number, but putting things into context, that’s about four units a day; not bad for what the Japanese carmaker has recognized as a market reduced to a mere sliver of what it once was during its heyday.

At the global reveal of the next-generation Everest, Ford confirmed that there will be at least three trims for their 7-seater mid-sized SUV: the Sport, Titanium+, and Platinum. Now, it’s been confirmed that there are actually five with the Ambiente and Trend actually being retained for this all-new model.
