The campaign covers a wide range of vehicle models, providing customers with various financing schemes, cash savings, maintenance perks, insurance packages, and trade-in rebates.
Under the “Pay Low” and “Pay Light” financing options, buyers can opt for either low all-in down payments (as low as 15% with free insurance and registration) or lighter monthly amortizations (based on 50% down over 60 months). These offers are exclusive to Toyota Financial Services (TFS) transactions.
Notable offers include:
- Vios: Pay as low as ₱116,100 or ₱8,038/month with up to ₱70,000 savings.
- Wigo: Starting at ₱109,350 or ₱6,687/month with ₱15,000 savings.

Free Periodic Maintenance Service (PMS) is also offered for up to 20,000 kilometers across select models such as the Vios, Raize, Avanza, Veloz, Rush, Innova, Fortuner, and Hilux (excluding GR-S variants). The benefit covers five service milestones (1K, 5K, 10K, 15K, and 20K km), valid within 24 months.
For the Lite Ace, a fixed maintenance program is available, charging only ₱1,999 per visit up to 40,000 kilometers. This covers nine PMS intervals and protects buyers from future price increases.
In addition, all Toyota Vios G, E, and XLE units sold during the promo period will come with a 5-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty, whichever comes first.
A trade-in rebate is also up for grabs for customers exchanging older Toyota vehicles. Rebates range from ₱10,000 to ₱25,000, depending on the model traded in and the new unit purchased.
Lastly, buyers of select models—including the Vios, Wigo, Avanza, Veloz, Innova, Fortuner, and Hilux—will receive free 1-year comprehensive insurance under Toyota Insure. The package includes CTPL, Own Damage, Theft, Acts of Nature, and Personal Accident coverage.
These offers are valid only from July 15 to 31, 2024, across all Toyota dealerships nationwide.
What started as a simple refueling activity has turned into a full-blown travel quest for thousands of motorists in Luzon, thanks to Unioil’s Fueled for Life Challenge.
The promo encourages riders and drivers to visit all 30 participating Unioil stations across Luzon for the chance to win big prizes—most notably, free fuel for life. Recently, the first grand prize winners in both the motorcycle and car categories were confirmed. But the game isn’t over. The next 30 finishers in each category to complete all stations before October 15, 2025, will each get free fuel for an entire year.
Winners describe the challenge as more than just a contest. For 4-wheeler champion Jed Listanco, every drive—from daily commutes to weekend getaways—became part of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. For 2-wheeler winner Solomon De Las Llagas, it was a reason to explore new places with his wife, turning fuel stops into shared experiences.
The mechanics are straightforward but competitive. Every qualifying purchase—at least ₱200 for motorcycles or ₱1,200 for cars—earns a stamp on the participant’s challenge passport. At each stop, challengers must also scan a QR code and take a photo with the official station signage as proof of visit.
The mix of old-school passport stamping and digital tracking keeps the race exciting. Each Unioil branch visited becomes a milestone, from urban centers to rural highways, showcasing the company’s wide network across Luzon and inspiring participants to discover new routes.
With the deadline just two months away, more motorists are joining the rush, blending their passion for driving with the practical reward of free fuel. For those ready to take the plunge, the next refuel could mark the start of their own Luzon-wide journey.

Suzuki Philippines has stepped in to help communities hit hard by recent floods caused by Typhoons Dante and Emong, especially in low-lying areas of Laguna. Many neighborhoods near the company’s head office in Calamba were left underwater and cut off from essential supplies.
Through its Marine Department, Suzuki worked with local governments and rescue teams to deliver help where it was needed most. The company deployed an inflatable boat with a 6HP Suzuki outboard motor to Biñan and a poly boat with a 15HP motor to Sta. Rosa. These boats made it possible to reach areas inaccessible to regular vehicles or manual boats, bringing much-needed relief goods to stranded families, particularly in Sikatville where waters reached chest level.
Local leaders and volunteers praised the effort, saying the equipment helped them cover more ground and reach people faster.
Suzuki also launched a Flood Support Program for owners of non-insured Suzuki vehicles damaged by the floods. The program offers a 30% discount on key parts often affected by floodwater—Engine Control Module (ECM), ABS Control Module, Body Control Module (BCM), and SRS Control Unit—helping customers repair their vehicles safely and affordably.
The company said these efforts reflect its belief that mobility is more than transportation—it’s a way to care, connect, and uplift people, especially during disasters.

MANILA, Philippines – Ford Philippines has officially joined the hybrid electric vehicle segment with the launch of the new Ford Territory Hybrid. The Philippines is the first market in Ford’s International Markets Group to offer this model, which blends fuel efficiency, modern styling, advanced tech, and driver-assist features.
Available in two variants – the Trend and Titanium X – the new Territory Hybrid keeps the SUV’s popular appeal while adding a responsive hybrid powertrain. The Trend focuses on core hybrid features for daily driving, while the Titanium X adds premium touches like a panoramic moonroof, coast-to-coast LED bar, larger alloy wheels, and extra safety tech.
Hybrid Power Without Plugging In
Unlike plug-in hybrids, the Territory Hybrid doesn’t need charging stations. It automatically recharges through regenerative braking and its gasoline engine. Both variants use a 1.5L I-4 Dedicated Hybrid Engine, paired with a 2-speed dedicated hybrid transmission and a 1.83kW lithium-ion battery. Together, they produce up to 218PS of electric power and 315Nm of torque.
The SUV can switch between EV, Series, Parallel, or Energy Recovery modes for better fuel economy and smooth torque delivery, especially in city traffic. It accelerates from 0–100 km/h in just 8.5 seconds. Drivers can choose Eco, Normal, or Sport modes, plus adjustable steering settings for comfort or responsiveness.
Updated Looks Inside and Out
The Territory Hybrid sports a redesigned hood, fenders, grille, LED headlights, and full-width LED taillights. Wheel sizes are 18 inches for the Trend and 19 inches for the Titanium X. Inside, it features premium materials, a dual-tone leather finish, more luggage space, multi-color ambient lighting, and improved seating comfort.
Tech and Comfort
Both variants come with dual-zone climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, multiple charging ports, and a 12-inch touchscreen. The Titanium X gets extras like a wireless charging pad, PM2.5 filter, hands-free tailgate, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. A new sound system from Arkamys delivers 3D surround sound.
Safety Features
Standard safety tech includes six airbags, stability and traction control, hill assist, a 360-degree camera, and parking sensors. The Titanium X adds adaptive cruise control, lane keeping aid, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking.
FordPass Connectivity
Through the FordPass app, owners can remotely start, lock, or unlock the car, and get vehicle health alerts.
Pricing and Colors
- Trend – ₱1,399,000
- Titanium X – ₱1,599,000
Color options include Oasis Green, Crystal Pearl White, Star White, Blue Panther, and Panther Black (availability depends on variant).
Launch Offers
