Pasig River Expressway Greenlit

More than a year since it was first proposed by San Miguel Corporation (SMC), the government has approved the Pasig River Expressway (PAREX) project, a 19.37-km, six-lane elevated road, that will run along the banks of the Pasig River—from Radial Road 10 in the City of Manila to C-6 road, also known as the future South East Metro Manila Expressway (SEMME) in Taguig.

Next to its sedan sibling, the Vios, the Yaris hasn’t really reached mainstream success here in the Philippines. With that, could Toyota Motor Philippines turn their attention and transform their sub-compact hatchback to a sub-compact SUV instead?

Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI), the official distributor of Hyundai vehicles in the country, announces with profound sorrow the passing of Chairman Edward S. Go. Chairman Go, a pillar and inspiring, well-loved figure of the company, joined his Creator last September 16, 2021.

The “new normal,” as this pandemic life has come to be called, has thrown most of the world off-balance. Many of us have learned to cope in our own ways and that includes making adjustments to our daily routine. The habits that we once knew and practiced have made way to methods that are supposed to make life as we know it, safer. Add to that having had less time behind the wheel and on the road.

Dog owners are likely familiar with the KONG toy, a hallow, rugged rubber cone that can be filled with treats. It seems like a perfect shape for chewing and keeping doggos entertained—but that wasn’t its first purpose.

It looks like the Toyota Vios is due for another refresh in 2022; that is, if we look at Thailand’s Yaris Ativ.

After showing it off in a passenger configuration earlier this year, Hyundai is now showing how its all-new Staria can come as a cargo vehicle. Meet the 2022 Staria Load.

Apparently, one of the biggest changes to the 2022 Mazda CX-5 is something that you don’t see. While Mazda’s compact SUV does get reasonably visible aesthetic changes to its exterior and added equipment to its interior, the carmaker also used this opportunity to modify its platform and even all-wheel drive system.

Toyota's Production Stoppage Now Extends To RAV4, GR Yaris As Well

Toyota Motor Corporation is making a third adjustment to its Japan production as a result of the on-going parts shortage.

Review: 2021 Toyota Fortuner 2.8 LTD 4x4

By and large, Toyota got it right with the Fortuner. Just as 7-seater pickup-based SUVs were becoming a “thing” in 2005, the carmaker surprised everyone when they came out with one that was sleek. Since then, it’s managed to engrave itself into the hearts and minds of Filipinos as one of their most desired vehicles—one that transcends religion, political leanings, and socio-economic class. Whether you’re a DDS or Yellow (dilawan), boss or bodyguard, manager or rank-and-file employee, the Fortuner is something that everyone agreed on. And agreed on that it was good. Not perfect, mind you, but good.

This is outside the usual reporting cycle of our long-term Mazda CX-5 AWD Sport Diesel which is typically done each time it undergoes Preventive Maintenance Service or PMS, but this is a special occasion. It’s special because I happen to change the brake pads, and that’s the focus of this story.

On the surface, it seems the only news here is the launch of a new Europe-centric trim for the RAV4 dubbed the Adventure. In reality though, Toyota is also marking this occasion to show bits and pieces of their refreshed for 2022 compact SUV.

More and more Filipinos are now aboard the Changan’s mission of driving change while embracing practical and value for money mobility at the same time.

The Arrival Of The 2022 Maxus D90 Is The Secret Maxus Philippines Didn't Want To Let You Know About

Maxus is bringing in a limited number of its D90 7-seater SUV that it decided to launch it quietly. So quietly in fact that it’s not listed on their website, and you probably need a secret password to purchase one through their dealers. It is a weird turn of events for Maxus who is targeting a landmark 1,000-unit sales figure this year. It is also weird because this is big news. Big because they managed to beat MG to the punch given that its platform twin, the RX8 is still nowhere to be found a full year after being shown at their dealer conference.
