The Base GLX Variant Makes The Mitsubishi Xforce Finally Worth It


When Mitsubishi first launched the Xforce, I was skeptical; it almost seemed like the brand was out of touch. Here was an established carmaker that thought that launching a crossover at a price point of P 1.3 million (GLS) up to almost P 1.7 million (GT) without any hybrid options was a good idea. It would have been okay had it been at least powered by a reasonably powerful engine, but no, it was equipped with the same engine from the Xpander.

Review: 2026 Hyundai Creta N Line 1.5T DCT


The Hyundai Creta N Line came with a warning label. In memory, this is the first car I’ve tested that came with one. It wasn’t a label about just how cool looking this new compact crossover was or anything like that; it was about potential transmission overheating issues and how to deal with it. Although I found the label tucked away in the spare tire compartment, its layout suggests it was attached to the gear lever at delivery. Foreboding, isn’t it?

Review: 2026 BYD Sealion 5 DM-i


There’s no doubt about it: BYD nailed the compact SUV formula with the Sealion 6. Though BYD likes to call itself an “electric car brand,” there’s no question that it’s their plug-in hybrids—DM-i in official parlance—helped drive sales. Since the Chinese brand isn’t exactly transparent when it comes to their sales, anecdotally, the colony of Sealion 6s occupying EV chargers on a daily basis shows you exactly how they’ve managed to upend the industry.
