Review: 2024 Honda CR-V RS e:HEV
Throughout its six generations, the Honda CR-V has never been afraid to experiment. From offering an underfloor picnic table in the first-generation model, cramming ten seats in the second-generation model, to a diesel engine and seven seats in the fifth-generation model, this compact SUV is designed as if it’s got a feel of the market’s pulse as a whole. With the sixth-generation model, Honda has done it again with the introduction of two things: the RS badge and a strong hybrid system called the e:HEV.

Review: 2024 GWM Haval H6 HEV Supreme
Chinese carmakers, pay attention. This is your gold standard. The past five years or so, we’ve seen brands sprout up like mushrooms all from the Middle Kingdom. And like fungi that thrive in dark, damp places, none of them deserve to be in the limelight. They’d be great for a couple of days or so, but something always throws you off. Until now. The GWM Haval H6 shows us that when they get their act together, they could make pretty compelling cars.

Sixth-Generation Subaru Forester Expected To Arrive In PH By End 2024; To Be Assembled In Thailand
When Motor Image said that the upcoming “WOW GT Edition” or “Wilderness” version of the current-generation Subaru Forester will serve as an appetizer for the all-new, sixth-generation model, we didn’t have any idea how soon next-generation model will arrive for our market. Now, we do.

Review: 2024 Honda CR-V 1.5 V Turbo
P 2.1-million—until now, I find this price tag hard to swallow, especially when I’m talking about the Honda CR-V. Whether the P 361,000 gap between this, the entry-level CR-V 1.5 V Turbo, and the HR-V RS Turbo is tied to inflation or some potential product slotting in-between, but whatever the reason, it does put this compact SUV under pressure. With a low sticker price no longer a USP, what could be the reasons be for people to consider the all-new CR-V?

Review: 2023 GAC EMKOO 1.5T GL
It’s hard to take a car called “EMKOO” (yes, it’s properly stylized in all caps) seriously. At first, you’d think it’s some shoddy cosmetic brand you get at a tiange or maybe it’s the name of the latest boba pearl or yogurt drink fad from God-knows-where. Whatever mental image you come up with, the last thing you can think of is a car. But here it is. It’s the second in GAC Motor’s “Shadow” series (after the EMPOW); does it drive as well as it looks? Read on.

The 2025 Subaru Forester Is So Dull, It Will Automatically Pull Over When You Fall Asleep Behind The Wheel
This is the all-new 2025 Subaru Forester. We kid you not. Despite looking like a devolution of the current-generation model, the entire sheet metal is new. This is evidenced by its slightly longer length and wider body (wheelbase stays the same). Aside from that though, it’s very clear that the folks over at Subaru desperately need some design help.

First Drive: 2024 Honda CR-V
If there’s one thing you could say about the Honda CR-V is that it’s comfortable in its own skin. In each of its six generations, there was little need to reinvent the basic recipe. Whereas its competitors all tried to reimagine themselves, this compact SUV stuck to its guns of being a practical, family-friendly compact SUV that happens to be a great all-rounder. This has allowed Honda to carefully refine the formula, improving its strengths, while reducing or eliminating its weaknesses in the process. There’s a Japanese term for that—Kaizen—and the all-new CR-V is an embodiment of that.

How Is The 2024 Honda CR-V's Third Row Seating?
The Honda CR-V is essentially doing double duty for Honda. Aside from having to compete against other five-seater compact SUVs, with no mid-sized SUV or pickup-based passenger vehicle (PPV) in their line-up, Honda has opted to offer it with three rows of seats on two of the three available trims.
