Disclosure: GWM Philippines kindly lent me a 2023 Haval Jolion Supreme HEV for eight days. It arrived with loaded RFID cards and a Shell fuel card. AutoFun Philippines paid for a carwash. When I was a kid, I swore by one specific brand of orange juice (which I shall not name, but it’s a brand that’s beloved by many).

Toyota’s plans to slowly electrify its model lineup are coming together with more information about the possible specifications for the upcoming Toyota Fortuner hybrid being released. Reports have indicated that the Fortuner hybrid will still use its 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine, but will be combined with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system.

Owners of the next-gen Everest and Ranger will be able to equi

When we first saw the photos of the upcoming 2023 Honda Pilot, we had to double-check the badges. Viewed from the rear, you would not be faulted for thinking that it should have a “Blue Oval” because it is a dead ringer for the previous-generation Ford Everest. This is most apparent in the rear taillight design that is also connected by a large strip that carries the model name. And the shape of the rear window almost makes you think one would fit on the other. But even though the Pilot and the

Among all crossover SUVs available in the Philippines today, the French-made Peugeot 3008 draws distinctness affiliated with its name as it comes with elegantly mesmerizing looks and functionalities. It is priced at more than two million pesos in the market, which is a bit above its closest rivals. But does it have what it takes to deserve the phrase “It’s totally worth it!”? Pros Its exterior design is distinct from its brand. The 3008 is not the first Peugeot model to showcase a distinct exter
