Peugeots remain to be one of the nicest European cars to drive. Combining a refined ride with rather impressive handling, models from the French manufacturer have that extra something that Japanese cars just can’t quite match. And from Oct. 1 to 31, 2023, you can get behind the wheel of a brand-new Peugeot with exclusive promos. Peugeot Philippines announced in a press statement that it has tied up with Security Bank to offer the PEUGEOT Easy Own Financing Program. Buyers can choose to give a sp

Everyone knows that Isuzus are among the best roadtrip vehicles around. The combination of generous passenger and cargo space, along with a highly economical turbodiesel engine, makes the Isuzu D-MAX or Isuzu mu-X a great travel buddy, even on the most pockmarked provincial highways. But Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) can do one better – it will even pay for your trip to a fabulous destination.

Although the rear-wheel-drive Mazda CX-60 and Mazda CX-90 have been hogging the headlines recently, Mazda has another sharp-looking crossover. The Mazda CX-50 isn’t poised to take on the likes of BMW and Mercedes-Benz unlike its larger stablemates. Instead, it uses a larger version of the excellent-handling, front-wheel-drive Mazda3 platform and is a bit larger than the Mazda CX-5 crossover. But the mere fact that Mazda has just introduced the CX-50 in China and has assigned local assembly to th

The first time the Nissan Grand Livina entered the Philippine market in 2008, it was a three-row hatchback based on the Nissan Tiida platform. It was ahead of its time in many ways, as it offered car-like handling and seating for seven. Typical of what crossovers provide today. As head of the marketing team of Nissan Motor Philippines, Inc (NMPI) at that time, I was tasked to find ways to slot such a strange vehicle concept into the MPV-crazy consciousness of Filipino car buyers.
