Manila To Clark On P 100 Of Gas? The GWM Haval H7 Does That Without Really Trying

I’m not really a fan of doing eco runs because they don’t necessarily represent real-world driving conditions and habits. However, in the interest of expanding my understanding of new energy vehicles, I was excited to be invited to GWM's Go 1,000 More media drive featuring its newest car, the H7.

The 2026 Kia Sportage Turbo Hybrid Is The Segment's Underdog And It Deserves Your Attention

The return of the Kia Sportage to the Philippine market was a monumental step for the brand locally; it meant that it was returning to compete in the segment dominated by the RAV4 and CR-V. While the Sportage has a relatively strong local following, it failed to oust the top sellers, which led to its first demise.

Dongfeng PH Launches 2027 Mage EV For P 1,398,000 (w/ Specs)

Dongfeng Philippines (Legado Motors) has officially launched the Mage EV, an all-electric compact SUV that offers a 530-kilometer range at a competitive P 1,398,000 price tag.

The GWM Haval H7 Is Efficient And Capable, But Still Comes Up Short

One model I’ve been excited to try all year was GWM's newest model, the H7 HEV and PHEV. Early this year, I was able to sample it in Baoding, China, at GWM’s proving grounds, where, at the time, it impressed me with what it had to offer. Fast forward to now, and the H7 has been in the market for a few months already, with me seeing a few ply our streets.

iCAUR Philippines Opens Pre-Orders For V23, V27

iCaur opens pre-sales for its V23 BEV and V27 REEV ahead of their official Philippine launch this November. The new brand under Omoda Jaecoo Philippines brings a pre-sales treat to Filipino motorists with the introduction of the Pioneer Edition of both the V23 and V27—limited to just the first 100 customers of each model.

Review: 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ VX

As I write this review, fuel prices are hovering precariously close to P 100 per liter. Taking that into account, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ isn’t the most practical choice. With a 2.7-liter 4-cylinder under that chunky hood, you don’t need an expert to tell you that it’ll guzzle gas like a motoring journalist at an open bar. Putting its appetite for gasoline aside, I actually like the Land Cruiser FJ; and coming from someone who doesn’t rate frame-based SUVs highly, that’s saying a lot.

Review: 2026 Toyota RAV4 HEV ADV

Stop the presses: I think I might have found my 2026 Top Pick. As a refresher, since 2011, at the end of each year, I come up with my annual Top 5 Picks—the best cars I’ve driven for the year that fulfills one simple criterion: it’s a list of cars I’d spend my own money on. Although there’s still two months left before 2027, among the 39 vehicles I’ve sampled so far, it’s safe to say, my pick of the bunch so far is the all-new Toyota RAV4.

Mazda Reveals A 2027 CX-5 Easter Egg As Autoexe Shows Off 2 Distinct Styling Kits

After showing off its exterior and interior design last August, Hyundai has revealed what powers the all-new 2027 Tucson.

The All-New 2027 CX-5 Is The Every Man's Mazda

When car people think of Mazda, they think of the MX-5 Miata. Granted they’re correct in emphasizing the importance of the roadster to the carmaker’s image, it’s the CX-5 that’s important to its bottom line. As its best-selling model globally, it’s a product it simply cannot afford to screw up. At the same time, there’s added pressure to draw a bigger audience, perhaps those who haven’t been indoctrinated into the cult of zoom-zoom. The result is the most mainstream CX-5 yet. Take that description as you see fit, but ultimately there’s no denying that this is the “every man’s Mazda.”

What, Us Worry? We Drove 700 Kilometers On The Nissan X-Trail And Kicks Without Refueling

After a string of challenges on the global front, Nissan appears to be getting some slack. Its financial standing has shown signs of improvement, although the company is not entirely out of the woods yet. Here in the Philippines, they’ve embarked on their comeback arc as newcomers are climbing on rankings and bringing in more offerings.

The Philippines may have just seen the return of the X-Trail as the fourth-generation T33 (read our review), but elsewhere, Nissan has already launched the all-new T34 X-Trail after showing off its exterior design last April.

AI-Driven Tech Will Become Xpeng's Biggest Differentiator

Xpeng believes “AI Mobility” will be their biggest differentiation when they launch in the Philippines this September. While the arrival of Chinese brands has made electrified vehicles with impressive range and equipment more commonplace in the country, Xpeng says this isn’t enough. To compete against established brands as well as other Chinese models, they believe it’s all about bringing something genuinely different and that is AI Mobility.
