Did Mazda Just Run Out Of Design Ideas In Coming Up With The 2025 CX-80?
Mazda designers may have come up with head-turning designs in the past, but lately, we’re not really too sure. You could say that the bar started getting low when they revealed the North American market CX-70—essentially a CX-90 with a new bumper and the third-row seats removed. Now, it’s clear that they have lost all interest in coming up with differentiated designs with the three-row CX-80.

Review: 2024 Honda CR-V RS e:HEV
Throughout its six generations, the Honda CR-V has never been afraid to experiment. From offering an underfloor picnic table in the first-generation model, cramming ten seats in the second-generation model, to a diesel engine and seven seats in the fifth-generation model, this compact SUV is designed as if it’s got a feel of the market’s pulse as a whole. With the sixth-generation model, Honda has done it again with the introduction of two things: the RS badge and a strong hybrid system called the e:HEV.

Review: 2024 GWM Haval H6 HEV Supreme
Chinese carmakers, pay attention. This is your gold standard. The past five years or so, we’ve seen brands sprout up like mushrooms all from the Middle Kingdom. And like fungi that thrive in dark, damp places, none of them deserve to be in the limelight. They’d be great for a couple of days or so, but something always throws you off. Until now. The GWM Haval H6 shows us that when they get their act together, they could make pretty compelling cars.

Review: 2024 Honda CR-V 1.5 V Turbo
P 2.1-million—until now, I find this price tag hard to swallow, especially when I’m talking about the Honda CR-V. Whether the P 361,000 gap between this, the entry-level CR-V 1.5 V Turbo, and the HR-V RS Turbo is tied to inflation or some potential product slotting in-between, but whatever the reason, it does put this compact SUV under pressure. With a low sticker price no longer a USP, what could be the reasons be for people to consider the all-new CR-V?

2024 Mazda CX-50 Gains Hybrid Power Thanks To Toyota

Shock News: Mazda To Stop CX-8 Production By December
In what comes as a bit of a shock, Mazda has announced that will cease production of the CX-8 in its home market of Japan by December 2023. This comes nearly six years after the global debut of the three-row SUV in September 2017.

Review: 2024 Mazda CX-60 3.3 HEV Turbo
The CX-60 occupies a narrow space in the market between two more traditional segments: the two-row compact SUV and the three-row mid-sized SUV. With that, it must deliver enough differentiation either to entice buyers to move up (in the case of compact SUVs) or move laterally (in the case of mid-sized SUVs). Either way, it’s got its work cut out. Having sampled the diesel-powered CX-60 3.3 HEV Turbo-D Sport before, I’d say that Mazda managed to get about 80 percent of it right. It isn’t perfect, but ultimately there’s still lots to like.

Review: 2024 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0i-S
Whenever a carmaker comes up with a new nameplate, it comes with the expectation that the overall experience would be new and transformative. Yet when Subaru decided to axe the “XV” name in favor of “Crosstrek,” the resulting crossover feels like it took two steps forward and two steps back. It continues the Subaru XV’s careful, and at times, painfully slow evolution. To be fair, the crossover formerly known as the XV, is hard to beat. Among its competitors—the beautiful Mazda CX-30 among them—the Crosstrek is the one we’d take in a heartbeat. It’s a bit boring, sure, but it’s just so well-attuned to our road conditions be it in design, packaging, and safety.

Review: 2023 BMW iX3 M Sport
The peculiar thing about EVs is that they tend to look like spaceships. Whether it’s to tout their impressive packaging or to visually communicate them at being at the bleeding edge of tech, they stand out. This is great for some, but for others who don’t want to daily drive something that looks like an extra from Star Trek, thankfully BMW’s come to the rescue with the BMW iX3.

Mazda Actually Came Up With A Poem To Describe The First-Ever CX-90
Mazda does a lot of things their own way, and while that’s typically applicable to their products, you could now say the same thing when it comes to their marketing.

Review: 2024 Mazda CX-60 3.3 HEV Turbo-D Sport
The first-ever CX-60 is something Mazda must get right; after all, it’s representative of their premium aspirations. Though some may say that it started with the current Mazda3 and CX-30, those vehicles didn’t command much of a price premium over the competition to warrant raised eyebrows. The CX-60, on the other hand, nips at the heels of real luxury with its P 2.890-million price tag. This begs the question: did they get it right or will it serve as a reality check that’ll send them crashing down?

There's No Stopping Mazda Philippines' Move Upmarket
Mazda Philippines thinks it’s the right time for them to move to the “premium mainstream” space. With the introduction of the CX-60—their third “7G” model after the Mazda3 and CX-30, and the first riding on the Large Product Group platform, the Japanese brand says they’re ready to shake off their mainstream positioning.
