Mitsubishi Motors has just confirmed that a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) powertrain is coming to the all-new 2024 Mitsubishi Triton, but will not use its diesel engine. Instead, the Japanese automaker said it would use a gasoline motor, as a diesel version would be too costly to manufacture. This was confirmed by a senior Mitsubishi Motors engineer to the media outlet Carsales Australia. “Mitsubishi Motors are researching and developing such a [PHEV] system, but at this moment, launchi

When Ford Philippines launched the all-new Ranger Raptor on May 18, 2023, many of you were delighted by its butch looks and serious off-road gear.

Company chairman Kwak Jea-sun initially announced that the company would adopt the new name of KG SsangYong Mobility last January 2023. This was recently confirmed in a shareholder’s meeting this March 22nd. However, the name SsangYong

Peugeot is on a design renaissance. The French automaker introduced its latest model - the 2023 Peugeot 408 Fastback only last June and it has already received rave reviews from car aficionados just by its looks. It's no surprise then that the company celebrated its latest design achievement by making it an art installation. The Peugeot 408 Fastback was revealed last August 4th as an art piece at the Louvre-Lens, a modern art museum 200 kilometers north of Paris. The date of the reveal, 4-08, wa

There are certain characteristics that we look for in a vehicle as we want the best or the one that fits our needs and wants. The industry's fast-moving category these past few years are SUVs and crossovers classes, but apart from that, pickup trucks are in-demand, too. Nowadays, a pickup truck isn't only for loading heavy cargo and towing boats, nor perfect for off-roading, but it has become a part of the style statement. Truly, it has become a dream automobile for both men and women, aside fro
