Largely wonderful weather this last week! As the holiday season draws near, it’s been clear skies with cool, refreshing breezes that can help us lay off the air-conditioning (and, consequently, bring our sky-high electric bills down). Despite the chilliness rolling in, it’s been a hot week for one Asian carmaker – and for once, it isn’t from China!

Hybrid vehicles are becoming popular in the Philippine market, with more and more automakers bringing their examples to the car-buying public. We have recent entries into the segment from the Chinese such as the Haval Jolion (Specs | News) and Haval H6, and even more from the Japanese, such as the Toyota Corolla, Corolla Cross, RAV4, Zenix, Yaris Cross, and Nissan Kicks, each trying to get a piece of the lucrative pie, especially with the ever-increasing fuel prices.

Well, to be honest, we haven't received any single advertising cent from

Ford Philippines recently opened a reservation portal for the 2023 Ford Territory. While the website does not reveal much about the next-gen 5-seater crossover SUV, it highlights some key features. These key features, however, are standard for its segment, but if we dig a little deeper and look at what's available in other markets, such as Vietnam, we can see what new first-time features Ford has added to the vehicle.

Whatever your opinion may be of the Geely Coolray, you can’t deny that it made huge waves when it showed up on our roads in 2019. It not only put Geely on the map as a Chinese car brand with actual street cred, but it turned the then-rather-boring subcompact crossover segment into a market where everyone had to be. Jetour, a subsidiary of the Chery Holding Group, is aiming to do the same thing with the Dashing crossover, which wades into battle with heaps of style and tech never before seen in c
