The BYD Tang DM-i Is A More Attainable Flagship That Cut Some Corners
BYD is focused on having an offering in almost every segment here in the Philippines. They already have something for MPVs in the eMax 7, compact crossovers in the Sealion 6, compact EV crossovers in the Atto 3, and an attainable EV in the Seagull. It’s only natural that they set their sights on a market where the old guards still reign supreme—the 7-seater midsized SUV segment.

Is There A Place For The 4-Cylinder Mazda CX-60 In The Philippines?
Should Mazda Philippines expand the CX-60 family to include an entry-level version? What was once a Japan market exclusive, the CX-60, powered by the tried-and-tested 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G is finding itself in more of the carmaker’s global markets such as Singapore, Malaysia, and now, Australia.

The JETOUR X70 Lightning i-DM Is A Problem Solver
Filipinos are complex people. Some put ketchup in their sinigang, there are those that eat carbs with carbs (hello, pancit canton with rice), and others say they already left the house when they’re still in the bathroom. In automotive context though, there’s one that makes a car purchase hard—some like a 7-seater but not an MPV, but don’t want to go all-out for an SUV either.

Review: 2025 Kia Sorento Turbo Hybrid SX+ AWD
In 2022, Kia wanted you to think that the Sorento was already ready to play with the big boys of the SUV world—the arena where the likes of the Ford Explorer and Mazda CX-9 resided. Alas, its premium price point vis-Ã -vis its features didn’t really push the envelop far enough to warrant serious consideration. Fast forward to 2025, and here comes the refreshed model. Still priced within the same ballpark (it’s up around P 300,000), it gets a slew of not just aesthetic enhancements, but more importantly, higher specs and an electrified powertrain as well. With that, can the Sorento Turbo Hybrid now charm would be buyers?

2025 Kia Sorento Turbo Hybrid: Imperfect But Still Enticing
I’m on an electrified binge drive lately. After driving the BYD Shark 6 DMO, I spent time with a trio of Honda e:HEVs, and now, I’m with the Kia Sorento Turbo Hybrid AWD. The Sorento is more of a midsized crossover, but like a teenager being told by their parents on what course to take, Kia is placing this in the thick of the midsized SUV battle. Yes, they want to pit it against the likes of the Montero Sport and Fortuner. Oh, and yes, it also has to go against the CR-V e:HEV too.
