After previewing it last December alongside the refreshed Land Rover Discovery Sport, Coventry Motors Corporation, the exclusive distributor of the iconic British premium SUV brand joins the rest of Asia in officially welcoming the all-new Defender this August.

The lack of public transportation during the National Capital Region’s shift back to MECQ (Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine) means that motorcycle back riding has now been allowed even if the riders aren’t related.

Isuzu Philippines has quietly upgraded its D-Max LS for the 2020 model year with a new wheel and tire package for better handling.

Just when you thought all the stories about the Mazda6 could be told, Mazda Philippines brought in what could be considered as this generation’s, “Mi Ultimo Adios”—the sedan fitted with the 2.5-liter Skyactiv-Turbo engine.

The latest automotive brand to join Lazada’s growing portfolio is Goodyear. Starting today, you can purchase brand-new Goodyear passenger car, SUV, and light-duty truck tires from the comfort of your own home.
