Ford Philippines has brought back its annual “March Madness” promotion, offering a week of discounts, trade-in support, and service deals for customers across its vehicle lineup and aftersales network. The limited-time campaign runs from March 9 to March 15 at Ford dealerships nationwide.

Ford describes the program as one of its most anticipated retail campaigns of the year. The company says the return of March Madness expands beyond vehicle offers and now includes savings on maintenance services and accessories.

Ryan Lorenzo, Retail Product Marketing and Business Growth Director of Ford Philippines, said the campaign aims to make Ford ownership easier for both new buyers and existing customers. He said the program now includes after-sales offers to improve the ownership experience alongside vehicle promotions.

Customers who reserve a vehicle during the March 9 to 15 promo period can receive discounts of up to P200,000 on select Ranger Sport variants. Ford is also offering a P30,000 trade in subsidy for customers who plan to replace their current vehicle with a new Ford model. An additional P20,000 discount applies to the Everest, Territory Hybrid, and other Ranger variants during the same period.

The promotion also covers service appointments. Customers who schedule a periodic maintenance service during the campaign can receive a 10 percent discount on Ford parts and labor. Genuine Ford accessories are also offered with a 10 percent discount.

Ford added a raffle incentive for service customers. Those who spend at least P10,000 on parts or services during the promo period can join a draw for service vouchers worth up to P10,000 or a Ford dashcam.

Beyond the one week campaign, Ford continues its month long offers across several models. The Ranger Sport 4×2 comes with an all in deal starting at P59,000, while the Ranger XLS is available with a P99,000 all in financing package.

SUV buyers also receive financing options for the Territory Hybrid Titanium X with a P99,000 all in offer. The Everest Trend is available with a P79,000 all in package, while Everest Titanium 4×2 and 4×4 variants carry P99,000 all in financing deals.

Ford also introduced a new service bundle for Everest owners called the 5 Star Care Package. The package includes a five year scheduled service plan, five year warranty, and five year emergency roadside assistance. Ford estimates the benefits represent around P50,000 in savings. Buyers who select the package can receive a P60,000 discount on the Everest Titanium 4×4 or a P45,000 discount depending on variant availability.

The brand’s premium models also receive promotional offers. The Mustang Mach E electric SUV is available with a P500,000 discount or zero percent interest with a 50 percent down payment for 60 months. The Explorer 2.3L Limited EcoBoost carries a P1,000,000 discount or zero percent interest with a 20 percent down payment for 60 months. The Bronco Outer Banks with Sasquatch Package is offered with a P1,370,000 discount or zero percent interest under the same financing terms.

Ford Philippines said the offers run throughout March, with additional dealer specific promotions available during the March Madness week. Financing programs are available through partner banks BPI and EastWest Bank, subject to standard approval and dealership conditions.

Volvo Cars Philippines has rolled out a limited time promo on its two plug in hybrid SUVs, giving buyers a rare chance to step into electrified luxury with major savings.

Handled locally by Hariphil Asia Resources Inc. (HARI), the offer puts both the XC90 T8 and XC60 T8 Plug in Hybrid under the spotlight, each carrying a ₱500,000 discount from their respective sticker prices. The promo covers Volvo’s top tier electrified models and comes with a DTI Fair Trade Permit, making it a certified deal for buyers looking to move into hybrid ownership.

Leading the lineup is the XC90 T8 Plug in Hybrid, Volvo’s seven seater flagship SUV. With the discount applied, the model drops from its ₱5.45 million suggested retail price. Designed for families and long drives, the XC90 T8 can travel up to 77 kilometers on electric power alone before switching to hybrid mode for longer trips. This setup allows for emissions free city use while keeping fuel efficiency and performance intact on highways.

Alongside it is the XC60 T8 Plug in Hybrid, Volvo’s best selling SUV globally with more than 2.7 million units sold worldwide. Priced at ₱4.55 million before the discount, the five seater SUV offers up to 80 kilometers of electric only driving, making it suitable for daily urban use. Once the battery is depleted, the vehicle automatically shifts to hybrid operation to maintain efficiency without sacrificing responsiveness.

Both models highlight Volvo’s long standing focus on safety, comfort, and Scandinavian design, while giving buyers access to plug in hybrid technology without fully committing to a pure electric vehicle.

Interested customers can visit Volvo Cars Makati to check availability, learn more about the promo, and book a test drive. The offer is available for a limited time only, subject to terms and conditions.

Changan Philippines has introduced the updated 2026 CS15 in the local market, keeping its entry-level sub-compact SUV positioned at P850,000. The launch comes as the brand continues to expand its electrified Nevo lineup, while maintaining a presence in the gasoline-powered segment.

The CS15 remains the most affordable model in Changan’s Philippine range. For 2026, updates are concentrated on styling and equipment rather than mechanical changes. The model is offered in Glitter Galaxy Silver Gray, Red, Shiny Pearl Black, and Snowy White.

Exterior revisions are most noticeable at the front, where the CS15 adopts a redesigned rhombic grille featuring a diamond-pattern insert. The headlamp layout carries over, retaining halogen automatic headlights with LED daytime running lights. Along the sides, the refreshed model is distinguished by new 17-inch gunmetal alloy wheels, while the body lines, roof rails, and mirror trims remain unchanged. The rear design is carried over as well, with LED taillights, a large bumper with faux skid plate styling, and an integrated rear spoiler.

The cabin layout continues from the previous version. The CS15 is equipped with leather upholstery, a rear air-conditioning vent, and a digital-focused dashboard. A 10-inch central touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, paired with a 7-inch digital instrument cluster. Interior features also include a moonroof, USB Type-A and Type-C ports, a manually adjustable six-way driver seat, and a four-way adjustable front passenger seat.

Power is supplied by a 1.5-liter BlueCore gasoline engine producing 105 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque. The engine is paired exclusively with a five-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with cruise control, driving the front wheels. Chassis hardware includes front MacPherson struts and a rear torsion beam suspension, with electric power steering as standard.

Safety equipment on the CS15 includes four SRS airbags, anti-lock braking with electronic brakeforce distribution, electronic stability control, hill hold control, tire pressure monitoring, rear parking sensors, and a reverse camera. Four-wheel disc brakes are fitted as standard.

Changan backs the CS15 with a five-year or 150,000-kilometer vehicle warranty. Buyers can avail of financing options that include an all-in down payment of P31,000 or monthly payments starting at P7,485.

The 2026 CS15 keeps Changan active in the entry-level SUV segment, offering updated styling and a familiar feature set while holding its position in the sub-P900,000 price bracket.
