Have you been in a ladder-frame SUV and a unibody crossover afterwards? Try it out on the same roads and you’ll feel the big difference in ride comfort. This is why for a long time, I’ve been envious of markets that have the Honda Ridgeline, and now there’s also the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz. These are unibody pickups that have crossover-like ride comfort – at least from the reviews I’ve seen abroad.

I’ll spare you from any tito references this time around and just say that for all that it is, the Jetour T2 is indeed a good SUV. However, one can’t deny it’s not for everybody. Sure, it’s pricey but aside from that, it’s also too obvious. The very macho silhouette, over-emphasized flares, and the Jetour badge at the grille isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. This is where the Jetour T1 comes in.

Considerations, they say, involve several factors. What those are is a topic for another day; fact of the matter is that the bZ4X is finally here, and this is how it drives.

More is indeed merrier for this recent Kia trip I had. The usual 1 car in focus was off the table and instead they had us drive 4 of their cars to the far north. It was a good mix between different powertrains that I can’t help but compare it to one of my go-to Korean dishes.

Rain is said to be the great equalizer in racing. For us in the motoring beat, it’s the great hassle. Changan prepared a good drive for us towards Quezon with the Q05 SUV, Hunter pickup, and a preview of the A05 sedan. The rain hampered our activities and so I was limited to the Hunter pickup.
