Review: 2025 Toyota Camry 2.5 V HEV
All signs point to the executive sedan segment—the D-segment in industry parlance—dying in the Philippines. With just a total of 414 units moved for the first nine months of 2025, it represents just 0.1 percent of all new cars sold. The sportscar segment, with 721 units sold in the same period, is double that at 0.2 percent. As Filipino car buyers change preferences to favor crossovers and SUVs, those who are sedan holdouts have far few choices now, and lording over them all is the Toyota Camry.

Review: 2025 BYD Seal Performance
With a name like “Seal,” you don’t know exactly what you’d expect with this executive sedan from BYD. After all, conjuring up mental images of a blubbery, somewhat cutesy marine mammal doesn’t help things, especially when this is supposed to be a sports sedan offering. Naming aside, there’s the price tag too: at P 2.548-million for the Seal Performance, it’s the most expensive non-Dynasty model BYD currently offers in the market.

Mazda6 Returns As All-Electric Sedan With A Big Help From China
Mazda has launched an all-new version of the Mazda6 sedan for Europe, and it’s electric. While that sounds like good news, there’s a catch and it’s a big one. See, the Mazda6e, as it’s called, is not 100 percent a Mazda through and through, but rather, it’s built off a platform and runs on a powertrain developed by Changan in China.

2024 Subaru Outback 2.5i-Touring: Versatility Without Bounds
Subaru is renowned for producing some of the most practical and well-designed vehicles on the market. Quite frankly, I have not encountered a single Subie that hasn’t been used, abused, and yet, maintained as well-loved family cars, one way or the other. This statement applies to not only its bestselling SUV, the Subaru Forester, but also to its range of performance cars, such as the Subaru WRX and BRZ. In fact, if there is one thing that I find to be unique to Subaru, it is the brand’s consistency in offering up cars that are reliable and can satiate an enthusiast’s drive for power and precision.

Can You Make It From Manila To Baguio (And Back) In An EV Without Worrying About Range?
Whenever we get our hands on any vehicle with a modest engine displacement, the most common question we get is: kaya ba umakyat ng Baguio yan (can it get up to Baguio)? Located 1,540 meters above sea level and about 200 kilometers north of Manila, the “Summer Capital of the Philippines” or “The City of Pines” is often an endurance test a car must ace before being accepted by the masses as well-built (matibay). Nowadays, just about any well-maintained modern vehicle can now make it up thanks to a better road network, and of course, better built cars. But what about EVs?
