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

Disclosure: This article is part of a paid campaign by Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation. Mitsubishi is, arguably, as much a part of the fabric of Philippine motoring as the iconic jeepney. Since 1963, nameplates like Lancer, Galant, Celeste, Cimarron, Pajero and many more have become permanent entries in the Filipino driving vocabulary. And through all the country’s glories and crises, the Japanese carmaker has always stayed by the Filipino’s side, bringing functional and exciting mobil

For a good chunk of the late-2000s until the mid-2010s, the safety features of the Philippine market entry-level multipurpose vehicle (MPV) were pretty much spartan.

Given the abovementioned stats, it is obvious that the Xpander and Xpander Cross top the entry-level MPV (or even SUV) segment when it comes to ground clearance. This means that the Mitsubishi utility runner

No doubt about it, the family car can be likened to one magic carpet ride transporting a bunch load of people from point A to B in a matter of seconds. While this metaphor sounds greatly exaggerated, it’s a known fact, however, that family or commercial vehicles (CV) truly do a wonderful job not only of hauling up families on long trips but they can also become reliable work fleets for storing up supplies or other loads as well. So far, Toyota, KIA, Ford, Suzuki, and Honda are the big-name car g

The Toyota Rush 2022 is Toyota Motor Corporation’s economically-friendly small SUV model. It is available in the Philippine automobile market at Php983,000 for the M/T variant, while the 1.5 E variant is at Php1,023,000 and Php1,100,000 SRP for the Toyota Rush 1.5 G A/T variant. With the price range offered by Toyota for the rush, several Filipinos looking to buy an entry-level, 7-seater SUV include the model in their shortlist.
