Filipino car buyers who want seven seats and a Honda badge right now can turn to the highly competent Honda BR-V. That’s because the current-generation Honda CR-V will officially be replaced on Sept. 13, 2023. AutoFun Philippines was the first to report that the latest version of the venerable crossover would arrive this year with an all-new hybrid engine. However, this means that the top-spec CR-V’s economical turbodiesel engine and (rather tight) third-row seat will also bid farewell. But it s

If SUVs are some of the most popular vehicles on the market, then MPVs occupy a space close behind. Such is the case for the Mitsubishi Xpander and its SUV-esque sibling, the Xpander Cross. Lumped together under the MPV category in Mitsubishi's lineup, both have become stellar performers in the Japanese brand's quest for sales supremacy in the country. Competing against the likes of the Suzuki Ertiga, Honda Mobilio, and the Toyota Avanza, the Xpander sought to be the refined small MPV for the ge
