Kia Motors Corporation announced its 2014 full-year global sales figures (export sales, domestic sales and sales from overseas plants) for passenger cars, recreational vehicles (RVs) and commercial vehicles, recording a total of 2,907,757 units sold.

Kia Says Its All-New 2021 Carnival is So Good, They Won't Call it an MPV

Update: Here are the first official photos (6/24).

Kia’s new product onslaught continues. After showing off the refreshed Picanto, Rio, and Sorento in just the span of a couple of months, the Korean automaker is now offering a glimpse of the fourth-generation Carnival MPV.

Kia PH Offering Big Discounts on Picanto, Soluto, and Rio This May

The discounts keep on pouring with Kia Philippines’s K-Mazing Deals that run until the end of May 2021 only. The limited time promo sees attractive cash discounts, and zero interest rates for up to 60 months on selected models.

CAGI Publishes Fuel Economy Benchmarking Test

The Car Awards Group, Inc. or CAGI, known for its annual Car of the Year – Philippines and Truck of the Year – Philippines awards has come up with what they hope as a standardized way of measuring fuel economy of vehicles in the Philippines. According to CAGI, simply relying on data provided by overseas entities such as the US’s EPA, Europe’s NEDC, or Japan’s JC08 standards cannot accurately capture pertinent data for two reasons: first, because the models sold in the Philippines may vary from what’s sold in the US, Japan, and Europe; second, because it doesn’t capture driving habits here in the Philippines.

Here's How Kia's Clutch-by-Wire Technology Works

When Kia pulled the wraps off the refreshed 2021 Rio, one of the more unique things about it is the so-called intelligent Manual Transmission or iMT. Unlike a traditional manual which uses a mechanical linkage for the clutch, this one uses a “clutch-by-wire system” and is paired to their mild-hybrid powertrain.

Which Cars Pass the LTFRB's "Strict" Standards for Taxis and TNVSes?

The Land Transportation and Franchising and Regulatory Board or LTFRB just threw the rule book at the Transport Network Companies (Uber and Grab to you and me). In a recent press conference, the government agency responsible for land-based public conveyance is reminding both Uber and Grab that they have to phase out non-compliant TNVses in 90 days. With the Memorandum Circular published last December 2, 2017, that sets a March 2, 2018 deadline.

Here Are The Most Fuel Efficient Cars In The Philippines From 2011-2022

Fueling cars is no small expense, but it’s an inevitable part of a vehicle’s ownership. With gas prices now reaching record highs—and the first where diesel has become more expensive than gasoline—fuel economy has once again become an important purchase consideration.

The Cleanest Fuel in the Philippines Comes from Caltex

Caltex announced the results of a borescope test conducted in October of this year wherein regular use of its fuels resulted in an engine intake valve cleanliness score of 9.7 out of 10 across Asia, and 9.8 out of 10 in the Philippines.

2014 Honda Jazz vs the Competition

So, Honda has finally released their all-new, Jazz. But where does it sit next to its competition? Well, we’ve stacked it up against its most likely competition in the sub-compact, gasoline-powered hatchback segment: Chevrolet Sonic 1.4 LTZ, Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost, Kia Rio 1.4 EX, Mazda2 1.5, and Toyota Yaris 1.5 G. We actually wanted to pit it against the Suzuki Swift 1.4 as well, but data for its interior dimensions are rather hard to find.

What Women Want: Women Vote Their 2017 World Car of the Year

Mitsubishi Mirage is Philippine Car of the Year, Mazda BT-50 is Philippine Truck of the Year

Review: 2018 Volkswagen Santana 1.4 MPI Trendline MT

Six hundred eighty six thousand pesos doesn’t get you much car these days. A second-hand car is possible, but for those who want something new, the choices are limited. You can’t even get an entry-level Kia Rio or Hyundai Accent at those prices, much less something like a Honda City; only the bottom-rung Nissan Almera and Toyota Vios are available, and goodness, they’re pretty much penalty boxes with wheels. But, lo and behold, there’s one new entry that’s pretty much shaken the sub-compact genre and it comes from an unlikely source: Volkswagen. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the 2018 Volkswagen Santana.

Review: 2002 Opel Astra Club Sedan

It was around two years ago when we last stepped into an Opel. As competent as the Astra was, back then we concluded that the Honda Civic and the Ford Lynx—our top two for the 1.6-liter segment had nothing to fear from this diminutive German car. However, much like enjoying a good French wine, a single two-hour sitting may not do enough justice to this car. So this time, we’re taking a four-day affair in the hopes of confirming our original findings—or else swallow our pride and admit that we made some booboos before.
