The Kia Pride Is An Underrated Piece Of Automotive History With An Interesting Backstory
On its own, Kia is the world’s fifth-largest automaker, at least at the time of writing. But if you told that to someone back in the ‘90s that the South Korean company would be one of the key players in the industry, it’s safe to say that you’ll be laughed at – to say the least.

The Dongfeng Nammi Is All About Quirky Character
The advent of electrification in cars was seen by brands as a chance to do something different from the traditional. Some are making extensive use of the infotainment touchscreen, others are using knobs instead of traditional gear shifters, and a few are moving things here and there for a new layout. The result is something that’s not always good for the driver.

Review: 2025 BYD Seal 5 DM-i Premium
BYD Cars Philippines is making a killing with these plug-in hybrids of theirs. Recognizing the value proposition offered by the Sealion 6 DM-i (read our review), people simply lapped up the compact SUV. Soon, they followed that up with the second member of their DM-i (Dual Motor Intelligent) range, the Seal 5 DM-i, and in the coming weeks, a third, with the Sealion 5 DM-i. Going back to the Seal 5 DM-i, it represents the Chinese car brand’s entry into yet another competitive segment—the B or sub-compact sedan. Can lightning strike twice, or did BYD just run out of new tricks?
