2024 Toyota Yaris Cross 1.5 V CVT review: Non-hybrid Yaris Cross tested | Top Gear Philippines
Переглядів 33 тис.14 днів тому
Toyota’s business strategy has been “world domination” for years now. Where, however, in a sea of sports cars like the GR Yaris, the Supra, and the GR86, does the Toyota Yaris Cross come in? Is this a good Toyota? Is it a good subcompact crossover? It’s being pushed as a hybrid variant, but how does this mid-spec gasoline-powered 1.5 V CVT version, priced at P1,312,000, prove itself worthy of t...

Переглядів 18 тис.21 день тому
The first-generation BR-V was a huge hit for Honda, and the current second-gen model continues that trend. In the subcompact seven-seater class, it gains an advantage over its competitors by providing not just the practicality and space prioritized by buyers in this segment, but also handsome styling, class-leading safety features thanks to Honda SENSING, and good fuel economy in the city and o...
2024 Jetour Ice Cream review: Pint-sized full battery EV tested | Top Gear Philippines
Переглядів 7 тис.21 день тому
The best way to describe the Jetour Ice Cream? It’s a box on wheels driven by electricity. This pint-sized (strawberry-flavored, in this case) full battery EV is almost like a personal mobility device-that’s how tiny it is. And it’s meant for very short commutes, too, given the range. Still, it‘s one of the most adorable things you’ll see on the road, and it has its unique selling points. What ...

At the 2024 Manila International Auto Show, Hyundai Motor Philippines officially launched the Hyundai N brand in the local market with not just one but two models: the Elantra N and the Ioniq 5 N. The Ioniq 5 N is the Korean brand’s all-electric take on a ‘hot hatch,’ and while this one is bigger and sits a bit higher off the ground compared with traditional hot hatches, it’s still got the perf...

The Toyota Corolla Cross has done well for its maker in our market, and has also helped popularize hybrids among local buyers. The facelifted model finally arrives in our country, and probably the most notable change-more than the exterior design tweaks-lies under the hood. The gasoline-only variant is gone, and for this midlife refresh, all Corolla Cross units to be sold locally will be hybrid...
2024 Nissan Patrol review: Is it still worth buying in 2024? | Top Gear Philippines

The current-generation Nissan Patrol has been soldiering on for more than a decade now, helped along by design tweaks and tech updates before it eventually retires to make way for the all-new model. It remains to be a full-size SUV with commanding road presence, effortless performance, and a decent number of features, but inevitably, it’s at a bit of a disadvantage against the much newer Toyota...

    I'm being a fan boy here, but 360 degree cam can be fitted after market and so can the suspension with Tein EDFC which can stiffen or soften the sus with click of a button. Add both these accessories + MUX's prices will be closer to Everest's price. The fixed 2nd row is a bummer but as shown in the video the 3rd row still has best space, so I can live with it. Sadly here in India we only have one car dominating SUV space - that is the Toyota fortuner. Ford left India but is planning to bring back the Everest and EVs. Isuzu still offers old gen MU-X and the Skoda Kodiaq is a petrol only, Mitsu also left , Jeep Meridian is just Compass XL, MG Gloster comes with all the latest gadgetry and off road hardware but is more of a mall crawler. Long story short we are screwed. & if anyone has made it till here, thanks for reading.🤗

    What a confusing review. If it doesnt drive like an EV then just mention its a subpar EV and none of this “it drives like a Lexus” statement. Other reviewers got a more straightforward approach in describing this vehicle. Also 9/10? You know there are other numbers available in the scale. Giving it a 9 is too high unless you’re trying to butter up Lexus Philippines.

    • @nikytamayo

      Going for a different type of driving experience doesn't make it subpar. It just makes it different. The range is the biggest issue, but then, given the price versus other luxury EVs, that's not a big issue.

The only vehicles we have that will compare to the microcars are the Nissan Versa, which is called the Almera in your market, and the Mitsubishi mirage. Sadly, both of these cars will stop being sold very soon and the smallest cars we will have will be the Corolla. It is sad to see them go as there won’t be any cheap options for us.
