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

Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) is bringing out all its wares at the September 15-18, 2022, Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS). However, one question that the Japanese automaker went omerta upon is what all-new model they will unveil at PIMS. The current BR-V was launched at the 2016 PIMS as a completely built-up (CBU) unit.
