2024 Toyota Yaris Cross 1.5 V CVT review: Non-hybrid Yaris Cross tested | Top Gear Philippines
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 the asking price?
Niky Tamayo weighs in and goes through the pros, the cons, and the surprises in our full Drives review. Thinking of getting a non-hybrid Toyota Yaris Cross? Click play on the video above and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

2024 Honda BR-V: What sets it apart from its competitors? | Top Gear Philippines
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 on the highway.
Looking for your next family car? Here are five reasons you should consider the 2024 Honda BR-V. You can also learn more about it here: www.hondaphil.com

2024 Jetour Ice Cream review: Pint-sized full battery EV tested | Top Gear Philippines
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 does the P699,000 asking price get you, and should you consider it if you’re planning to shift to electric power? Click play on the video above for our full review.

2024 Toyota Corolla Cross preview: The Corolla Cross goes all-hybrid in PH | Top Gear Philippines
The Toyota Corolla Cross has done well for its maker in our market, and has also helped popularize hybrids among local buyers.

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 Land Cruiser, its main competitor in the segment.
But while getting a unit of the Toyota could entail a years-long wait, the Patrol is readily available. For those in positions of power who need their big SUV now, is the Nissan Patrol still worth buying in 2024? Click play on the video above for our full review, and share your thoughts with us in the comments.

2024 Honda Rebel 1100 review: Honda’s P650,000 liter bike tested | Top Gear Philippines
The Honda Rebel 500 has a strong following among cruiser fans and riders wanting to get into big bikes. But with the Africa Twin’s 1,083cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine and six-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the resulting Honda Rebel 1100 offers a higher level of performance and convenience, but with the asking price remaining fairly reasonable still at P650,000.
As our resident motorcycle guy Leandre puts it, the Rebel 1100 has more than double the displacement, but less than double the price tag of its smaller sibling, which is why it’s such a value-for-money offering? Do you agree? Click play on our video above to watch the full review, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

2024 Hyundai Santa Fe launched in PH: First impressions of Hyundai’s boxy new SUV | Top Gear PH
In December, Hyundai treated us to a sneak peak of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. This all-new model has undergone nothing short of a full transformation and now takes on a boxy, muscular form. Yes, let’s just say it: It has gone all Defender on us.
But how much of its own identity, character, and technology has Hyundai bestowed upon this fifth-generation midsize SUV? We do a walkaround as well as a quick drive on paved surfaces and a makeshift off-road trail to get to know the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe a little bit better. Do you think this model will be a successful one for Hyundai in the local market? Click play on our Launch Pad video above, and sound off in the comments.

2024 Honda CR-V RS e:HEV review: Top-spec hybrid CR-V tested | Top Gear Philippines
The Honda CR-V is one of the pioneering models of the compact-crossover segment, and has earned a very loyal following over six generations and almost two decades. With the arrival of he sixth-gen model in the Philippine market in 2023, local buyers had the option of getting a hybrid CR-V for the first time. It also signals Honda Cars Philippines’ renewed efforts to electrify its lineup.
At P2,590,000, however, the top-spec Honda CR-V RS e:HEV enters the territory of midsize SUVs in terms of pricing, even though it targets an entirely different segment of buyers. What exactly does that sum of money get you? Click play on the video above to watch our full review of the range-topping CR-V, and let us know in the comments if you think it’s worth the asking price.

2024 Toyota Wigo review: Top-spec Wigo G CVT variant tested | Top Gear Philippines
In the same way we had to wait some time for the all-new Wigo’s arrival, we also had to wait a bit to actually test it over several days on local roads. Toyota’s entry-level offering in its local lineup remains a popular option among fleet and budget-car buyers, but with this generation, it levels up on features, build, and even performance. That said, like pretty much everything you can buy these days, it also comes with a bigger price tag.
For this review, we tested the top-spec 2024 Toyota Wigo G CVT, priced at P729,000. Yes, it’s got more toys and sharper looks than before, and is now equipped with a continuously variable transmission. But is this all-new model worth the wait and the asking price? Click play on the video above for our verdict, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

2024 Ford Ranger Raptor review: Just how good is it at off-roading? | Top Gear Philippines
The Ford Ranger played a major role in Ford Philippines’ sales success in 2023, accounting for 13,234 units out of the total tally of 31,320 vehicles sold. And the latest Ford Ranger Raptor, which was launched in the local market in May last year, accounted for quite a few of those Ranger sales.
This beefed-up truck obviously has a big following among local pickup fans, but in its current iteration, just how good is it in off-road conditions?

All-new Mitsubishi Triton: Ready for the truck wars | Top Gear Philippines | Advertisement
Mitsubishi was never out of the running in the local truck wars, but with newer models coming in, it was inevitable that the Strada would start to lose its hold in the segment. Things are set to change, however, as the all-new 2024 Mitsubishi Triton is set to enter the market.
The next-gen Triton is ready to shake up the midsize-pickup class, as it arrives with bold new styling, a powerful engine, and a wide arsenal of tech. It comes equipped with a 2.4-liter twin-turbo MIVEC diesel engine in the top-of-the-line trim, and this powertrain churns out a healthy 201hp and 470Nm of torque. This can be mated to either a manual or automatic transmission, and can be spec’d with Mitsubishi’s Super Select 4WD II system.
