The Chery Tiggo 2 Pro Is Now Known As The Tiggo Touring

Chery Auto Philippines continues to move away from its numeric nomenclature, at least for the Philippine market. After the launch of the Tiggo Cross (formerly Tiggo 5x), Tiggo Grand Tour (formerly the Tiggo 8), and the Tiggo rEV C-DM (known globally as the Tiggo 9), the automaker has now re-branded the Tiggo 2 Pro as the Tiggo Touring for 2026.

The Hyundai VENUE Is The SUV For Every Modern Filipino

Comebacks are hard to pull off, especially when a brand has made its mark with signature models that already defines its equity. To grow, however, is another story, and sometimes, it pays to bring back a well-known favorite. Hyundai Motor Philippines is no stranger to second winds and with that, reintroduces the Hyundai VENUE, the nameplate that stands for day-to-day reliability, functionality, and versatility. The VENUE combines what every Filipino looks for in a daily driver – an SUV that provides premium, up-to-the-minute style with the level of driving performance that you can count on for every kind of lifestyle.

A New Kind Of Vibe With The Suzuki Fronx

When you say Suzuki, a few things pop up in mind here in the Philippines. First of course is the Jimny which is a global icon.

If you want something bigger than a hatchback but more adventurous, there’s a definite void in their lineup — until now.

Is BYD Shying Away From Its Global EV Ambitions To Focus On...Hybrids?

BYD may have wanted to become a leader in battery electric vehicles, but that plan is slowly and surely being pulled back in favor of a plug-in hybrid solution.
