Of the over 30 new car models launched in the Philippines this 2024, there are 7 that stand out. Trendy looks, gorgeious interiors, amazing connectivity, impressive power and better fuel efficiency. The recent Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) 2024, showed a barrage of Chinese cars dwarfing the Japanese, Korean and Europeans marquees in quantity of launches but I doubt in quality of the cars launched.
Ford Mustang in its current form with the five and the ten-speed automatic, with a drop-top version, this one might as well be the brand’s last hurrah for its gasoline-only V8. This powerful sports car is sexy, sleek and superb—a dream to have.
Transpose the FJ Cruiser with a masculine design language, modernize it a bit but keep that retro theme going, and you get this gorgeous full-size SUV, the Toyota Prado. More sporty than LC300.
MG Cyberster is all-electric, with scissor doors, and looks so darned good. This will be MG’s hero car in their lineup. This not so expensive, high performance model is definitely worth at least a look.
OMODA –heard of this brand before? It looks rugged with a taste of elegance, it has an interesting interior and exterior design with a powertrain that can go off-road. This was first launched in Russia and Afhganistan.
Nissan Ariya is going to be a flagship for Nissan Philippines. With a progressive design and a ton of new and interesting features for its interior, it is worth a try, It will infuse new energy to the brand that has not been launching new models in recent years.
This next-generation Hyundai Santa Fe will definitely bring people to line up to drive this car, and with its rugged and retro design, car enthusiasts will fight tooth and nail to get their hands on this spacious car.
The Honda Civic, with its timeless design, gives an exhilarating driving experience. This car stands as a symbol of Honda’s automotive excellence, continuing to be a top choice for those seeking a new car that promises both style and substance. This is perfect for first-time car buyers.
