Kia PH President Says 2019 Sales Wasn't a Fluke
In their first full year as the distributors of Kia, AC Motors, a wholly-owned company of Ayala Corporation saw its sales rise to 5,019 units compared to 2,238 units in 2018. The 124 percent increase is, undoubtedly, spectacular, but still a far cry from the projected 10,000-unit per annum sales they mentioned at the start of 2019.

Review: 2019 Kia Stinger GT
What is the power of a brand? That’s the biggest question surrounding the 2019 Stinger GT, Kia’s undeniable halo car. Priced at P 940,000 above the brand’s second most expensive offering, the Grand Carnival EX, the Stinger stretches what anyone thinks of Kia. Still, after all’s said and done, it’s a tour-de-force in many ways, but most importantly, it’s a fresh devil-may-care-attitude amidst an automotive world market driven by bean counters and spread sheets.

Kia Philippines Just Gained the Upper Hand in the Korean Car Price War
It looks like the top two Korean brands in the country are about to instigate a price war with each other. After launching its game-changing Soluto sub-compact sedan, Kia found its thunder stolen by its mechanical twin, the Hyundai Reina less than 24 hours later. Since then, these two have been engaging in a peso tug-of-war. For the next few days, it looks like Kia Philippines may have the upper hand.

Review: 2018 Suzuki Celerio CVT
You can’t expect much from a sub-compact hatchback such as the Suzuki Celerio; after all, this is as close to basic motoring as you can get. Yet, it easily stands toe-to-toe not only against its direct rival, the Toyota Wigo, but against other slightly more expensive choices such as the Kia Picanto and Mitsubishi Mirage. In fact, strip its “basic transport” label and you end up with one of the best bang-for-the-buck choices in the market.

The Cars of 2017 Are Less Fuel Efficient Compared to Last Year's
Last year, the Department of Energy (DOE) in cooperation with Petron held the first-ever Euro 4 fuel economy run in the country. Supposedly a dry run for the DOE’s efforts for a standardized fuel economy benchmark (surprise: there’s still none), 70 vehicles were driven at midnight on a mostly empty highway course. This year, the DOE held another fuel economy run (the 13th such event) with 55 vehicles present. They threw away the guise of creating a standardized benchmark and highlighted instead its consumer-focused “E-Power Mo” campaign which aims to highlight efficiency as a main factor in purchasing a vehicle.
