Safety is one of the key categories you must look out for when buying a car. It is the one aspect of a vehicle that you shouldn’t skip out on, and you need to prioritize not only for yourself but for the safety of your passengers. We have created a quick list of vehicles under the ₱1 million price with high safety ratings from the ASEAN NCAP. Note that to make it onto this list, the cars must have, at minimum, a 3-star crash safety. The list also includes vehicles from other markets similar in s

With more and more government incentives, electric vehicle (EV) prices are going lower and lower. Perhaps the most extreme example is the 2023 Nissan LEAF, which plummeted from a rather eye-watering ₱2,798,000 to a more palatable ₱1,998,000. This puts the LEAF in the firing line of yet another battery-electric hatchback. The 2023 BYD Dolphin, much like the Nissan, has five doors, five seats, and zero emissions. It also has a plush interior and dramatic styling, all for ₱1,688,000. Which of these

If the January 2023 global debut of the five-door Suzuki Jimny sport-utility vehicle (SUV) was a pleasant surprise, then prepare for a “shocker” with this new variant. Our friends at sister publication WapCar Malaysia reported that Suzuki is planning to roll out an electric-vehicle (EV) version of the Jimny by 2024. According to a presentation by the company, the small SUV will be one of five battery EVs that it will introduce in Europe by next year. The Jimny is currently offered with two gasol

Expect more expensive vehicles as car brands update their prices for 2023. It's the first month of the new year and four manufacturers – Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Suzuki – have already updated their prices as of press time. While some may only have minor changes, others have more dramatic hikes. However, we expect more brands to follow, especially those that have yet to implement changes since 2022. Honda Cars Philippines Honda Cars Philippines announced in 2022 that it would increase the pr

(Images from Toyota PH) Even with the rising gasoline prices today, a car can be an investment, especially since the country's transport system is still a huge mess. Think of it as investing in something that enables you to go places safely while keeping cool and dry simultaneously. It also enables you to bring stuff with you and people, not just a single person, as opposed to buying a motorbike. It's like investing in yourself.
