  • Hyundai Brings Back “Service with a Heart” Promo for Second Year

    Hyundai Motor Philippines is once again turning routine vehicle maintenance into an opportunity to support an underserved community, with this year’s campaign focused on a school in Tarlac.

    Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. (HMPH), in partnership with Good Neighbors International Philippines, is bringing back its “Service with a Heart” aftersales program for a second consecutive year.

    Running from August 15 to September 30, 2026, the program will provide a ₱150 donation for every Periodic Maintenance Service (PMS) and oil change service availed at authorized Hyundai Service Centers during the campaign period. The proceeds will support the rebuilding of a school library and reading area at Maasin Community Elementary School in San Clemente, Tarlac.

    The school is identified by HMPH as serving a diverse learner population that includes members of the Aeta community, with the project aimed at supporting a more inclusive and equitable learning environment.

    The school itself is listed in the Department of Education’s National Inventory Dashboard under the Tarlac division, confirming its existence and school ID. The school has also appeared in local reporting, including coverage of pupils participating in the 2024 Belenismo sa Tarlac.

    More Than Just a Service Visit

    Customers participating in this year’s program will also receive a complimentary Brake Cleaning Service worth ₱1,000, along with exclusive discounts on PMS packages. Customers who donate school supplies, bags and/or rain gear through donation boxes at participating Hyundai dealerships will also receive a special token from Hyundai.

    The 2026 campaign builds on Hyundai’s first “Service with a Heart” program, which ran from August to September 2025 in partnership with Good Neighbors Philippines.

    During the first campaign, HMPH pledged ₱150 for every out-of-warranty Hyundai vehicle serviced at its authorized dealerships, while customers were also encouraged to contribute hygiene kits. The program ultimately generated ₱386,700 in monetary donations and 849 hygiene kits, which were turned over to Good Neighbors Philippines for distribution to families and children in San Isidro, Rizal.

    The 2025 effort was followed by a ceremonial turnover in October, with HMPH and Good Neighbors Philippines distributing the donated hygiene kits to communities in San Isidro.

    For this year’s campaign, HMPH is shifting the focus from community health and hygiene to education, specifically the rebuilding of a library and reading area in Tarlac.

    “At Hyundai Motor Philippines, our global vision, ‘Progress for Humanity’ guides everything we do,” said HMPH Managing Director Cecil Capacete. “We want them to see that when you own a Hyundai, you can make a positive impact not just on your life, but also on the lives of those around you.”

    With the program running until September 30, Hyundai owners have another opportunity to combine a routine service visit with a contribution to a community project. The campaign also continues HMPH’s partnership with Good Neighbors Philippines, an organization that has worked on community development, education, health and other programs in the Philippines for years.

    For Hyundai owners, a regular trip to the service center this time can mean more than simply keeping their vehicle maintained.

  • Mitsubishi ASX VR-e Confirmed for New Zealand: Could PH Be Next?

    Mitsubishi ASX VR-e Confirmed for New Zealand: Could PH Be Next?

    The ASX is getting an all-electric version as Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand expands its electrified lineup.

    Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand has officially confirmed that the all-electric ASX VR-e will arrive in the country in Q4 2026, adding another battery-electric vehicle to the brand’s expanding electrified lineup.

    The announcement comes as Mitsubishi continues to broaden its electrified offerings in New Zealand. The ASX VR-e will follow the upcoming Outlander Sport HEV, which is scheduled to arrive in New Zealand in Q3 2026 as Mitsubishi’s first hybrid-electric vehicle for that market.

    An All-Electric ASX

    The ASX name is already familiar to Mitsubishi customers in New Zealand, where the current model continues to form part of the brand’s lineup. MMNZ has previously described the ASX as an important model that will continue alongside the newer Outlander Sport.

    The new ASX VR-e takes that familiar nameplate in a different direction, moving it into the fully electric vehicle category.

    Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand has confirmed that the vehicle will be offered in four variants: LS, XLS, Exceed and GSR. However, the company has yet to announce pricing and full specification details, saying those will be revealed closer to its arrival.

    The ASX VR-e is part of a wider product rollout planned by Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand for 2026, which includes three new models as the brand expands its presence in electrified vehicles.

    Could We See It in the Philippines?

    Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand’s announcement is specifically for its market and does not mention the Philippines. There is currently no confirmation from Mitsubishi Motors Philippines that the ASX VR-e is being considered for local introduction.

    Still, the arrival of another electrified Mitsubishi model in a market within the region raises an interesting question about where the brand could take its electrification strategy next.

    Mitsubishi Motors Philippines already has experience with electrified vehicles through its local lineup, while Mitsubishi’s global strategy continues to expand beyond plug-in hybrids and into full battery-electric vehicles.

    Whether the ASX VR-e could eventually become part of that Philippine lineup, however, remains unanswered.

    For now, New Zealand will get the first opportunity to put Mitsubishi’s electric ASX on its roads, with the model scheduled to arrive in Q4 2026.

    Would an all-electric ASX make sense for the Philippine market?

  • Ford Puts a Platinum Badge on Its Best-Selling Hybrid in the Philippines

    Ford Puts a Platinum Badge on Its Best-Selling Hybrid in the Philippines

    The Territory Hybrid gets a new flagship variant, with the Platinum positioned above the Titanium X at ₱1,655,000 introductory price.

    Ford Philippines has expanded its Territory Hybrid lineup with the introduction of the Territory Hybrid Platinum, adding a new flagship variant to a model that has quickly established itself as the brand’s best-selling hybrid vehicle in the country.

    The new Territory Hybrid Platinum carries an introductory price of ₱1,655,000, according to Ford Philippines. That places it ₱56,000 above the existing Titanium X, which is currently priced at ₱1,599,000. Ford’s current lineup also includes the Territory Hybrid Trend at ₱1,399,000.

    More importantly, the Platinum arrives as Ford’s response to the strong reception of the Territory Hybrid since its Philippine introduction in 2025.

    From Best-Selling Hybrid to Platinum

    The Territory Hybrid has been one of Ford Philippines’ strongest performers in the electrified vehicle segment.

    Based on Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI) data covering January to May 2026, the Territory Hybrid recorded 2,226 units sold, putting it ahead of the next-best-selling model in the small utility hybrid category by more than 500 units. It had already reached 1,000 units in sales within its first few months and ended 2025 with 1,645 units sold.

    With that momentum behind it, Ford is now giving its hybrid crossover a more premium flagship treatment.

    A More Premium Territory

    The Territory Hybrid Platinum doesn’t introduce an entirely new powertrain or a new generation of the SUV. Instead, the Platinum builds upon the existing Territory Hybrid package with a number of exterior and presentation changes.

    Philippine homologation documents reported by local automotive publications indicate that the Platinum receives new front and rear bumpers, new alloy wheels while retaining the 19-inch wheel size, and raised-type roof rails. A predominantly black interior with orange accents has also been reported for the new variant.

    The changes give Ford room to distinguish the Platinum from the Titanium X without fundamentally changing the Territory’s mechanical package.

    Ford’s existing specification sheet lists features such as a panoramic moonroof, 19-inch two-tone alloy wheels, hands-free power liftgate, ventilated front seats, a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, front parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera on the Titanium X.

    In other words, the Platinum isn’t being introduced to turn a basic Territory into a premium SUV. It’s taking an already well-equipped Titanium X and giving it a higher position in the lineup.

    The Hybrid Powertrain Remains Familiar

    Under the hood, the Territory Hybrid Platinum retains the same basic hybrid architecture used by the existing Territory Hybrid.

    It uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder dedicated hybrid engine, paired with a two-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) and a 1.83-kWh lithium-ion nickel-cobalt-manganese high-voltage battery. The vehicle remains front-wheel drive.

    Ford’s published specifications list maximum internal-combustion-engine output at 150 PS and 230 Nm, while the electric motor is rated at up to 218 PS and 315 Nm. The Territory Hybrid’s quoted 0–100 km/h acceleration time is 8.5 seconds.

    The hybrid system can operate in different modes depending on driving conditions and battery state, including EV, series, parallel and energy-recovery operation. The Territory also provides Eco, Normal and Sport driving modes.

    What Does the Extra ₱56,000 Get You?

    This is perhaps the most interesting question surrounding the new variant.

    The Titanium X currently sits at ₱1,599,000, while the Platinum’s introductory price is ₱1,655,000—a difference of ₱56,000.

    Because the Platinum retains the same basic hybrid powertrain, dimensions and 19-inch wheel size, the additional amount is primarily tied to its newer exterior treatment and premium positioning, rather than additional power.

    The current Territory measures 4,685 mm long, 1,935 mm wide and 1,706 mm tall, with 185 mm of ground clearance and a 2,726-mm wheelbase.

    For buyers already considering the Titanium X, the Platinum therefore becomes a question of whether the additional styling and equipment are worth the relatively modest premium.

    Ford’s Hybrid Bet Is Starting to Pay Off

    The timing of the Platinum is worth noting.

    Ford introduced the Territory Hybrid to the Philippines in August 2025 as its first electrified offering for the local market. The Philippine market was also the first to receive this particular hybrid configuration for Ford’s International Markets Group.

    Less than a year later, the Territory Hybrid has become the best-selling hybrid vehicle in the Philippines based on the latest CAMPI figures available, giving Ford a strong foundation for expanding the lineup.

    Adding a Platinum variant allows Ford to capitalize on that momentum without having to introduce an entirely new vehicle.

    It also gives customers who are willing to spend more an option above the Titanium X while keeping the same hybrid system that has already become familiar in the local market.

  • Mitsubishi Eyes Local Hybrid Production Through EVIS Program

    Mitsubishi Eyes Local Hybrid Production Through EVIS Program

    The Japanese automaker is doubling down on local manufacturing, with hybrid vehicle production now part of its long-term plans for the country.

    The Philippine automotive industry could be entering a new chapter as Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) has officially expressed its intention to manufacture Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) locally through the government’s proposed Electric Vehicle Incentive Strategy (EVIS) program.

    While the announcement may sound like another corporate investment update at first glance, it carries a much bigger implication—not just for Mitsubishi, but for the future of vehicle manufacturing in the Philippines.

    Hybrids, Not Fully Electric Vehicles

    One of the biggest takeaways from Mitsubishi’s announcement is that the company isn’t jumping straight into battery-electric vehicle production.

    Instead, Mitsubishi is taking what it calls a phased approach to electrification, beginning with Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) before eventually transitioning toward Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) and, later on, fully electric models.

    It’s a strategy that makes sense for the Philippine market, where charging infrastructure continues to develop while hybrids have steadily gained acceptance among local buyers.

    Local Production Could Begin by 2028

    According to Mitsubishi Motors Corporation’s official announcement, the company intends to begin local hybrid vehicle production at its manufacturing facility in Santa Rosa, Laguna by around mid-2028, subject to approval under the EVIS program.

    Although Mitsubishi has yet to reveal which hybrid model will be assembled locally, the move represents one of the most significant commitments toward vehicle electrification by a manufacturer operating in the country.

    Photo caption (L-R): MMPC Corporate Executive Vice President Tomoyasu Moriya, MMPC President and CEO Ritsu Imaeda, MMPC Chairman Noriaki Hirakata, MMC Chief Executive Officer Takao Kato, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., Department of Finance (DOF) Secretary Frederick Go, Department of Trade and Industry Secretary Cristina Roque, DOF Undersecretary Rolando Ligon, Jr., and MMPC Government Affairs Vice President Victor Vinarao.

    More Than Just Another Assembly Line

    For consumers, local hybrid production could eventually mean more than simply seeing “Made in the Philippines” on a vehicle.

    Manufacturing locally often helps strengthen supplier networks, generate employment opportunities, and improve the competitiveness of the local automotive industry. While pricing has not been discussed, producing vehicles domestically could also provide manufacturers with greater flexibility in the long run compared to relying entirely on imports.

    Mitsubishi has also reaffirmed its commitment to the Philippine economy, highlighting that it has invested more than ₱11.6 billion in its local operations over the past decade, with plans to invest another ₱7 billion over the next five years.

    EVIS: The Next Step After CARS

    The announcement also places the spotlight on the government’s proposed Electric Vehicle Incentive Strategy (EVIS), a program designed to encourage manufacturers to invest in local electrified vehicle production.

    In many ways, EVIS is expected to succeed the previous Comprehensive Automotive Resurgence Strategy (CARS) program by shifting the focus from conventional vehicle manufacturing toward electrified mobility.

    For Mitsubishi, participation in EVIS provides the opportunity to continue expanding its local manufacturing footprint while aligning with the country’s long-term sustainability goals.

  • 30 Years Later, Porsche Philippines Gets Its Own One-of-One 911

    30 Years Later, Porsche Philippines Gets Its Own One-of-One 911

    A bespoke Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS celebrates three decades of the brand’s presence in the Philippines.

    Porsche Philippines recently celebrated its 30th anniversary with a milestone that few automotive markets around the world can claim—a one-of-one Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS commissioned exclusively for the Philippine market.

    The special vehicle was unveiled during Porsche Philippines’ anniversary celebration, marking three decades since the brand officially established its presence in the country through PGA Cars in 1996. While the event reflected on Porsche’s journey in the local market, the spotlight naturally fell on the unique anniversary model created in collaboration with Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, the German automaker’s personalization division.

    Unlike limited-edition models that are produced in small numbers for multiple markets, this particular 911 Targa 4 GTS is a true one-off. It was built exclusively to commemorate Porsche Philippines’ 30-year milestone, making it the only example of its kind in the world.

    The anniversary car features a bespoke Paint-to-Sample Pastelorange exterior, a color said to have been inspired by the hues of a Philippine sunrise. Inside, the cabin combines Porsche’s heritage-inspired Pasha upholstery pattern with orange contrast stitching and illuminated door sills bearing the inscription “Porsche Philippines 30 Years.” Every detail was carefully selected to distinguish the car from any other 911 currently on the road.

    Beyond its exclusive appearance, the commemorative Targa also showcases Porsche’s latest engineering. It’s based on the new 911 Targa 4 GTS, which introduces the brand’s T-Hybrid performance system. The electrified powertrain combines a 3.6-liter flat-six engine with an electric exhaust turbocharger, producing 541 PS and 610 Nm of torque, while retaining the performance-focused character expected from the iconic 911.

    The celebration also served as the Philippine debut of Porsche’s latest 911 Turbo S, giving guests a first look at the brand’s newest flagship performance model alongside the anniversary Targa.

    Among those present during the event was Ramon S. Ang, Chairman and CEO of San Miguel Corporation, together with executives from Porsche Philippines and PGA Cars. The gathering brought together members of the local Porsche community, longtime customers, and industry guests to commemorate the brand’s three decades in the country.

    While anniversaries often look back on a company’s history, the unveiling of a one-of-one 911 suggests that Porsche also sees the Philippines as an important market moving forward. Having Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur create a vehicle exclusively for the country is a distinction not many markets receive, making the commemorative Targa more than just a display piece—it also represents the relationship Porsche has built with Filipino enthusiasts over the past 30 years.

    Hyundai Strengthens ASEAN Presence as Philippine Operations Welcome New Leadership

    Regional football partnership and leadership transition signal Hyundai’s continued focus on Southeast Asia.

    Hyundai continued to strengthen its presence in Southeast Asia this week through two separate announcements—its regional involvement in the ASEAN Hyundai Cup™ 2026 and the appointment of a new president for Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc.

    Mr. Ko brings more than 20 years of experience with Hyundai Motor Company, having held leadership roles in international market development, sales operations, and global business strategy across Asia Pacific, Europe, India, and the Middle East. Hyundai says his appointment marks the next phase of the company’s continued growth in the Philippines.

    Since Hyundai Motor Philippines began operations in 2022, the brand has steadily expanded its local lineup with the introduction of new hybrid, electric, SUV, and MPV models while continuing to grow its dealership network nationwide.

  • Did You Know? Nissan’s Brake Caliper Colors Actually Mean Something

    Did You Know? Nissan’s Brake Caliper Colors Actually Mean Something

    It’s not just for looks—those colorful brake calipers tell a story.

    If you’ve ever wondered why some Nissan performance cars wear silver, red, gold, or even yellow brake calipers, it turns out there’s more to them than just visual appeal.

    Nissan has officially revealed that its brake caliper colors follow a performance hierarchy, giving enthusiasts a quick visual clue about the braking system fitted to each vehicle.

    Starting with silver, these are typically found on Nissan’s standard braking systems designed for everyday driving.

    Most Nissan vehicles, like the 2026 Nissan Kicks pictured here, feature silver brake calipers.

    Step up to red, and you’re looking at upgraded performance brakes, such as the Akebono-equipped Nissan Z Performance.

    The 2027 Nissan Z (US-Spec) features red brake calipers behind 19-inch RAYS® forged-alloy wheels.

    Things get even more exclusive with the bright red calipers found on the latest Nissan Z NISMO. According to Nissan, these not only distinguish the flagship Z variant but also feature a higher heat-resistant coating to withstand more demanding driving conditions.

    The 2027 Nissan Z NISMO (US-Spec) features bright red Akebono brake calipers.

    For many enthusiasts, however, gold has always been the most recognizable. Nissan confirms that gold calipers have traditionally been reserved for models equipped with Brembo braking systems, a color that has become synonymous with iconic performance cars like the Skyline GT-R and GT-R.

    The 350Z Track Edition (US-Spec) featured gold Brembo brakes. 2006 model pictured.
    The R34 V-Spec II featured gold Brembo brake calipers.

    At the very top of the hierarchy sits yellow, which generally signifies Nissan’s most advanced carbon-ceramic braking systems found on select high-performance GT-R variants.

    Brembo carbon ceramic brakes with distinct yellow calipers were available on the 2020 Nissan GT‑R Track Edition.

    While Nissan notes that a few special editions have broken the pattern over the years, the color system has largely remained a subtle way of communicating a vehicle’s braking capability without saying a word.

    Special editions and exceptions

    At times, concept or special-edition vehicles have used brake caliper colors that bucked the traditional coloring rules:

    • The 2020 GT‑R-50 by Italdesign featured special red Brembo calipers. Nissan vehicles with Brembo brakes typically feature gold calipers.
    Red Brembo brakes on the 2020 GT‑R-50 by Italdesign.
    • The 2023 Z Proto Spec featured yellow Akebono calipers. While high-performance brakes, they were not carbon ceramic.
    The current-generation Z launched for the 2023 model year with a special Proto Spec, which featured yellow Akebono calipers.

    For enthusiasts, it’s one of those small details that becomes impossible to unsee once you know the meaning behind it. So the next time you spot a Nissan performance car, take a quick look behind the wheels—you might be able to tell just how serious its braking hardware is before the driver even starts the engine.

  • UNITY Car Meet & Track Day Returns to Clark This July 19

    UNITY Car Meet & Track Day Returns to Clark This July 19

    Philippine automotive enthusiasts are in for an exciting weekend as Second Skin Industries, together with One Way Autohaus and Classic Speed, gears up for the UNITY Car Meet & Track Day happening on July 19, 2026, at Clark International Speedway in Pampanga.

According to the organizers, visitors can expect everything from modified JDM icons and European sports cars to classic restorations and exotic supercars filling the paddock.

    Unlike a traditional static car meet, UNITY also gives participating drivers the chance to stretch their cars’ legs around the Clark International Speedway, one of the country’s premier racing circuits. The venue has long been known as a favorite destination for track day enthusiasts and motorsport events, making it the perfect backdrop for a gathering centered around performance driving.

    Another highlight of this year’s event is the participation of the Land Transportation Office (LTO), which will deploy its mobile service bus at the venue. Attendees will be able to access selected government services such as driver’s license renewals, vehicle registration renewals, and other transactions without leaving the event grounds.

    Several automotive brands and industry partners are also backing the event, including BYD, Motul, Shell V-Power, Nissan, Mazda, GWM, Mitsubishi Motors, and Zeekr, among many others. Their presence is expected to add even more attractions throughout the day, alongside sponsor booths and lifestyle displays.

    Admission is priced at ₱200 per person, making it an accessible weekend destination for enthusiasts, photographers, and families looking to experience the local automotive scene.
