All-New 2025 Honda Amaze Could Preview Next-Generation Brio
Barely a month after Suzuki unveiled their all-new Dzire sub-compact sedan, Honda has done the same with the all-new 2025 Amaze. Although there’s a very slim chance this sub-compact will make it to the Philippine market, it will likely become the basis of the next-generation Brio.

Review: 2024 MG3 Hybrid+
Just about every car brand is abandoning the B-sized hatchback segment in favor of small crossovers and SUVs. Realizing this gap in the market, one unexpected entrant has arrived and that’s in the form of MG with their MG3. For a brand that’s become a household name locally thanks to a crossover—the ZS—going the small hatchback route seems odd. In terms of branding, however, it’s pure magic. See, MG may have British origins, but ever since it’s been bought by China’s SAIC, there have been apprehensions on the sort of vehicles they come up with. Well, what a better way to shut those critics up with a nice, proper small car, right?

Detractors Beware: The Honda City (Now With Honda SENSING) Is In Its Best Form
Many were sad when the Honda Jazz had to leave the country, me included. Honda Cars Philippines unofficially said ‘sorry’ when they brought in the City Hatchback. It’s not the Jazz but essentially, they’re the same—small hatchback packaging, 1.5-liter naturally-aspirated engine, creature comforts, ULTR seats, and a good set of safety features. Yet many people (not me) dismissed the City hatchback unfairly simply for not having the “Jazz” name.
