SsangYong is Bringing in the All-New Korando and Refreshed Tivoli Real Soon

SsangYong Philippines is launching two new crossovers real soon. Teased via a series of videos, the Korean SUV specialist is set to launch the all-new, fourth-generation Korando compact crossover and the refreshed Tivoli sub-compact crossover, both for the 2020 model year.

With a Spring 2020 launch date, Ford is starting to tease its upcoming Ranger-based Bronco SUV. The latest one is this: the race-inspired Bronco R prototype.

Motor Image wants to combat boring by launching even more GT Edition variants of its popular models. After the Subaru XV, and now the Forester getting GT Editions, soon, the Levorg and Impreza will join them in receiving the same sporty treatment.

After bringing in a more affordable version of its five-seater 3008 SUV, Peugeot Philippines is now doing the same for its 7-seater SUV, the 5008. Now sourced from a Peugeot joint-venture plant in Malaysia, the 2020 5008 SUV basically costs a million pesos less than before.

Motor Image, the exclusive distributor of Subaru vehicles across eight countries, including the Philippines, unveiled the newest addition to its sporty GT Edition models: the Forester GT Edition. Set for a formal market introduction in Taiwan next month, the Forester GT Edition will arrive in the Philippines by the first quarter of 2020.

Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI) introduces another exciting offering for Filipino entrepreneurs who would like to move their businesses forward and increase profitability with the “Super Sais” promo.

The Ford Explorer and Mazda CX-9 better watch out: Motor Image Pilipinas is bringing in the three-row Subaru Ascent. Two years after its global debut at the L.A. Auto Show, and the subsequent pronouncements from the Japanese automaker that it’s “for the North American market only” that followed, the largest Subaru ever made is finally making it to the Philippines.

Fatigue set in as the Last Palm Standing – Mediacorp Subaru Palm Challenge entered the third day in Singapore. A total of 55 individuals are still standing (as of 7 AM today), with 345 dropping out during the night of the second day.

Hybrids are commonly associated with manufacturers like Toyota, and that’s understandable because the Prius is the world’s best-selling hybrid and is the official poster child of environmentally-conscious motoring. That said, some don’t want to drive a Prius, and that’s understandable. It’s weird-looking, and at least in the Philippines, priced like an executive sedan. Enter the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid—a car that says it’ll do everything the Prius can do. But the question is, can it do things better?

Amidst the high temperatures and unforgiving humidity, four hundred individuals are all vying for a brand-new Subaru automobile in the 18th edition of the Mediacorp Subaru Palm Challenge. Officially titled, “Last Palm Standing,” its one of Asia’s toughest endurance competitions.

Suzuki Philippines Posts 19 Percent Growth for First 9 Months of 2019

Consistent with its strong performance for the first two quarters of the year, Suzuki Philippines (SPH) finishes the third quarter with positive growth yet again, enabling the company to post 19 percent sales growth for the first nine months of the year over the same period in 2018.

Nissan has posted record monthly sales in the Philippines with an all-time high of 4,768 units sold in September. This achievement strengthened the brand’s top-three position among members of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines (CAMPI).

Is Ford Philippines finally bringing in a full-sized MPV to battle the likes of the Toyota Hiace Super Grandia and Hyundai Grand Starex? It seems so based on a teaser they’ve sent us for a product launch happening at the end of November.

After Nissan blocked a potential merger with Renault, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles or FCA seems to have found a potential new partner: PSA. After reports on a potential business combination emerged, FCA has confirmed that talks are underway with the parent company of Peugeot, Citroen, and Opel.

If you find the Toyota Vios Race Car a bit too tame, why don’t you consider a Toyota several notches higher? After showing off the GR Supra GT4 racecar last July, Toyota Gazoo has finally revealed its final specs and eye-watering price. Oh, and yes, you can buy it even from the Philippines.

Ever since Honda’s founding 71 years ago, they’ve committed to deliver new values for mobility through their broad range of products from motorcycles, power products, automobiles and even jets. Today, with their 2030 Vision as a guide, Honda aims to continue doing just that, but now adding the “joy of expanding their life’s potential” as an additional guiding ethos.

Attention Impreza, XV, and Forester owners: Subaru has just confirmed that three new recalls affect these three best-selling vehicles in the Philippines, and that Motor Image Pilipinas is working closely with Subaru Corporation of Japan to assist all affected customers.
