Is This The Refreshed 2027 Hyundai Custin?

Hyundai Motor Philippines has been quiet lately especially compared to a very busy 2025 where the Korean automaker launched a slew of new vehicles left and right to grow its lineup to 13 models strong. This year, so far it’s all been about sales promotions and discounting. That may change in a couple of months with the launch of the refreshed Custin.

It looks like it’ll be a busy Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) for MG. Aside from a potentially new entry-level variant of its MG4 EV—the MG4 Urban—the export brand of SAIC Motor is also cooking up a three-row plug-in hybrid SUV for launch: the 2027 MG RX9.

McLaren is one of the most storied and revered automotive brands in the world. Known for their technical or “nerdy” approach, they apply clinical engineering to each car they build—whether it’s for the road or track.

Filipino borrowers have favored practical, family-oriented purchases as economic uncertainty, fueled by the energy crisis, hits close to home. According to Metrobank, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and house-and-lot properties emerged as top loan choices.

With Subaru discontinuing the WRX in its home market of Japan, it only makes sense for the car maker to shift its motorsports attention to a more showroom relevant model. That model in question is the BRZ which has just been transformed into the “Boxer Rally spec Z.”

Suzuki Philippines Incorporated (SPH) recognized its best performing dealers at its 2026 Dealer Conference.

Earlier this year, Nissan Philippines said that they are showing off at least three electrified models at the Philippine International Motor Show in June.

Toyota reinforces its commitment to environmental sustainability by strengthening the capability of En Tsumugi ELV Dismantler Corporation, the country’s pioneering Toyota-endorsed End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) dismantling facility. This follows En Tsumugi’s completion of specialized training in the handling of electrified vehicle (xEV) batteries.

GAC Motor Philippines is updating its best-selling compact crossover, the Emzoom for 2026 following its sneaky preview at the Manila International Auto Show.

One of my favorite cars in the whole automotive industry is the Hyundai Stargazer. Ever since it was launched a few years ago, this I thought, is what a proper, modern, well-made, and decently equipped MPV should be. It turned out to be a success for Hyundai because the Stargazer has quickly become its best-selling model, and spawned many iterations in the X variant, and even a short-lived 6-seater version.

With pump prices continue at their record highs, finding a vehicle that maximizes fuel efficiency without compromising performance has never been more critical for the Filipino motorists.

It’s confirmed: the all-new Lexus ES luxury sedan will arrive in the Philippines in pure electric form first. After being revealed as one of the all-new models to be launched this year, Lexus Philippines has received regulatory approval for the all-new ES in the form of the Lexus ES 350e.

Audi Philippines is strengthening its product range with the introduction of the all-new, third-generation Q3. The premium compact SUV brings technologies, specifically an electrified combustion engine technology first introduced in the full-size class range, to the compact segment while upping its digitalization, comfort, and driver engagement.

MG Philippines just got the local nod to sell a new battery electric vehicle: the MG4 Urban. Set to join the line-up not as a replacement to the current MG4 which will be updated but as the brand’s most “accessible EV,” this compact EV hatchback is heading for a Philippine debut soon.

Ford PH's Mobile Showroom Heads To Antique, More Visayas Runs Slated In May

As part of its commitment to reach and engage more customers outside a Ford dealership, Ford Philippines is bringing its mobile showroom to the Visayas, giving more customers the opportunity to experience Ford vehicles up close and enjoy exclusive offers in a convenient community setting.
Currently at Robinson’s Antique until April 26, 2026, Ford’s showroom-on-the go allows customers to inquire about and test drive Ford’s latest vehicles, as well as enjoy special deals and get exclusive merchandise upon completion of a test drive.

Nissan brings back the Terrano nameplate as a production-ready concept car. And Nissan’s very own President and CEO, Ivan Espinosa, has confirmed it will be a production model.

It’s been recognized as a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) since June of last year and Motor Image Pilipinas certainly took its sweet time, but it looks like it we don’t have to wait long for the launch of the Subaru Crosstrek e-Boxer Hybrid.

With how volatile fuel prices are, best to take advantage of this unbelievable offer from Shell Pilipinas. From Friday, April 24 to Thursday, April 30, they’re implementing a P 5 per liter discount on all fuels.

After launching the fangled re-born Prelude (read our First Impressions) and its S+ Shift System, Honda quickly transplanted (as well as other Prelude bits) to the Civic RS e:HEV. First announced in January, the carmaker has now opened reservations for the new Civic in its home market of Japan.
