First Drive: 2022 MG HS 1.5 TST Trophy
MG—the revenant brand synonymous with British sportscars is performing something of a sales miracle in the Philippines not with rear-wheel drive two-seaters, but with a range of sensible sedans and crossovers. Last year, they’ve managed to record a milestone year by moving 6,343 units—their best-ever annual sales figure in its three-year existence. Out of that figure, 65 percent is the MG ZS sub-compact SUV. It’s a sign, perhaps, that MG is playing its cards in the right segments at the right time.

2022 Toyota Avanza: Fit For The Filipino Fam
The introduction of the 2022 Toyota Avanza has been long-awaited, with the (now) previous generation model having been relegated to the likes of a commuter vehicle, rather than the multi-purpose family car that it was designed to be. While there is nothing wrong with being a service car, all we’re saying is that it’s high time that the all-new Avanza made its arrival, especially now, while the automotive industry is primed for fresh perspectives and evolutions of models that have long become marks of a different era.

Review: 2022 BMW 520i Luxury
BMW is the undisputed market leader in luxury vehicles in the Philippines. But while they tend to do excellently sales-wise, they don’t offer the same leadership when it comes to creature comfort features. The foundations—the engine and platform—all tend to be solid, but they fall short when it comes to things that customers actually touch and feel like the trimmings and accruements.
