In their bid to become a “global Volkswagen,” Volkswagen Philippines understands the importance of halo models, and with that, they’re seriously considering to bring in the Golf R hot hatch.

Review: 2021 Lexus IS 350 F Sport

This here is the 2021 Lexus IS 350 F Sport, my new favorite sports sedan. At P 3.808 million, it’s more expensive than most, if not all of the local German offerings—the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but none can hold a candle to it. At the heart of all this is what the brand calls the “Lexus Driving Signature.” It’s supposed to deliver a more linear, more engaging drive in every aspect. It sure sounds like market nonsense at first, but at the end of the day, it does just that: deliver a better sports sedan.

W Express Corporation which was formerly known as DHL Philippines, sees growth in the logistics industry as more and more companies rely on their indispensable business solution. From the initial two units of the Dongfeng Captain E delivered last October 2020, W Express saw the value for money, ease of maintenance, and reliability of these light duty trucks. These were the important factors considered by W Express in their fleet expansion thus the repeat purchase of these tool of trade.

Motorists travelling to their hometowns and reuniting with their families will definitely need to exercise much caution and strict adherence to safety protocols. The same should be done with their vehicles, ensuring they are in tip-top shape for the long travels that may lie ahead.

At this historic crossroads for Volkswagen, the way forward has been chosen: the future that is vibrant, electric, and energetic, but still firmly rooted in its origins. With that, Volkswagen Philippines is ready to charge into the future with the “New Volkswagen.”

It is the announcement Philippine motorsport patrons, racers, and racing fans have been waiting for: the Toyota Vios Cup is back. The country’s leading automaker has confirmed its plans to re-open its one-make racing series this year, despite the on-going pandemic.

MG Philippines continues to offer extraordinary deals for both cash discounts or low down payments on your favorite MG cars and SUVs with the “Onward and Forward With MG” sales promo. Through this campaign, MG Philippines enjoins the Filipino motoring public as it moves on from the challenges of the past year, now stronger and eager to progress into 2021 with a renewed spirit.

As the summer season officially starts, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) serves its customers hot promo deals for the Mirage, Mirage G4, Xpander, Montero, and Strada.

Mazda3, MX-5 Hit by DTI Safeguard Tariff

Mazda Philippines is the latest car manufacturer to announce the effect of the DTI’s Safeguard Duty, but unlike other brands, it will so far affect just two models: the Mazda3 and MX-5.

Volkswagen is confident of turning a new chapter here in the Philippines starting this year. In its seventh (going eighth) year in the market, VW Philippines is going global in its image, products, and services.

Last February 26, 2021, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) achieved a 1,000 safe-days milestone. The feat is a reflection of the commitment of MMPC in maintaining a safe working environment for its employees as it completed a total of 5.6 million working hours with no major or lost time accidents.

Maruti Suzuki India Limited, the official name of Suzuki’s Indian operations has hit a new milestone: the export of two million vehicles. The milestone was marked by the export of three models—the S-Presso, Swift, and Vitara Brezza which left the Mundra Port in Gujarat Province for South Africa (check out our Indian experience with Suzuki here).

United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. (UAAGI), the official distributor of Chery vehicles in the Philippines, officially added Chery Camarines Sur to its rapidly expanding network of dealerships in the Philippines.

Summer is here. As the sun beats down, imagine sliding into the cool confines of your brand-new Lexus. Whether heading to the beach, or doing errands, these Lexus models can do the job, and thanks to their special offers it’s now easier on the wallet.

With the launch of the Ranger FX4 MAX, Ford Philippines is aiming to solidify its position as a leader in the local pickup truck segment, a segment which they now consider as their “bread-and-butter.”

After showing off what it could do on the racetrack with its very own one-make race, Toyota Motor Philippines is capitalizing on that with the launch of a sporty new variant of its best-selling Vios: the 2021 Vios GR-S.

Ford Philippines is blurring the lines between the Ranger and Ranger Raptor with the market introduction of the first-ever Ranger FX4 MAX. This straight-from-the-showroom Ranger variant carries a strong aftermarket appeal giving it increased off-road capability; at a price that’s a steal.

Sojitz G Auto Philippines (SGAP) has now brought Geely closer to the Bulakenyos with the opening of Geely Baliuag, Bulacan. Geely Baliuag is the ninth dealership outlet in the Geely’s increasing network.
