With EV interest rising, Lynk & Co Philippines is making the switch easier. Our new interactive tool, Find Your EV Match, takes the guesswork out of the process by pairing you with the perfect model for your lifestyle.

Available on www.LynkCo.ph, the brand’s EV Lifestyle Configurator turns what is typically a complex decision into a quick and engaging experience. Instead of going through detailed spec sheets, users answer a short set of questions about their daily routines, including driving habits, charging preferences, parking set up, and travel distance.

In just a few steps, the tool generates a personalized recommendation based on real-world usage, making it easier for users to identify an EV that aligns with how they live and move.

By shifting the conversation from specifications to lifestyle, Lynk & Co Philippines aims to make EV ownership more accessible and relevant to a wider audience.

Beyond its functionality, the Lynk & Co Philippines’ EV Configurator serves as a low-pressure entry point for those who are still considering the shift to electric. It also provides a practical starting point for drivers navigating both everyday use and longer trips before visiting a showroom.

Users can try the EV Lifestyle Configurator through this link.

Lynk & Co Philippines encourages users to take a few minutes to try the tool and see how their everyday driving habits translate into a personalized EV recommendation.

New aftermarket parts brand targets Toyotas out of warranty

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has launched T-OPT, a high-quality regional aftermarket parts brand, at the Manila International Auto Show 2026. Tailored for Toyota owners with out-of-warranty vehicles, T-OPT provides dependable alternatives supported by Toyota’s expertise.

According to Mike Masamayor, First Vice President for Customer First and Value Chain Operations, “At T-OPT, we aim to make alternative car parts more accessible to everyone. Our commitment to hassle-free ownership also extends to customers with older Toyota vehicles who still expect uncompromised quality.”

As a brand already established in Thailand and Indonesia, T-OPT offers a smart balance of affordability and performance. It serves the growing market of aging Toyotas and pre-owned vehicles, giving owners more options to care for the cars they have come to value over the years while helping them maintain vehicle performance, safety, and comfort.

Quality You Can Trust

From the planning stage through supplier collaborations, Toyota is actively involved in the development of T-OPT parts to help deliver reliable quality at an affordable price. The initial lineup includes fast moving maintenance parts such as oil and air filters as well as wear-and-tear parts such as wiper blades, brake pads and shoes, and clutch covers and discs. These are compatible with the following Toyota models: Vios, Wigo, Innova, Avanza, and Hiace.

“TMP will continue to develop T-OPT parts to meet the growing needs of its customers,” said Masamayor.

Reliable and Accessible Mobility

T-OPT strives to establish itself as a dependable automotive parts brand that customers can trust. By expanding its supply and distribution network, it ensures that high-quality, reliable parts are readily available anytime and anywhere they are needed.

Retail sales will officially begin on April 13, 2026, through a trusted network of distributors and service providers, including Aerodynamics Commercial Corporation, HD Trucks, Guthrie Marketing, LCG Group of Companies, Motech, and Autoquix outlets.

The UAAGI Auto Group makes a strong and dynamic showing at the Manila International Auto Show 2026, transforming the western section of the World Trade Center Metro Manila into the immersive “UAAGI West Wing” from April 9 to 12, 2026.

This large, integrated space unites BAIC, Chery, FOTON, Lynk & Co, and RADAR in a single cohesive showcase, reflecting the group’s shared vision. Each brand space highlights its own identity, presenting a diverse lineup that includes plug-in hybrids, fully electric vehicles, and internal combustion engine (ICE) models.

Me at the MIAS 2026

Seeing the UAAGI Auto Group showcase at the Manila International Auto Show 2026 highlights how the automotive industry is evolving. The mix of hybrid, electric, and traditional vehicles shows a shift toward more efficient and sustainable mobility. With the continuous rise of gasoline prices, these innovations feel even more relevant today. It also inspires me to dream of owning this kind of car someday for a more practical and modern lifestyle.

UAAGI’s authority extends across to the eastern side of the venue, where Jetour Auto PH launched the Jetour GAIA featuring the newly launched G700, and continues outside to the Foton Truck Pavilion—featuring an extensive lineup of electric light commercial and heavy-duty vehicles—and the UAAGI Performance Center, where test drives for UAAGI’s comprehensive lineup can be conveniently and safely conducted. All in all, UAAGI occupies a combined space of approximately 3,000 square meters this MIAS 2026.

Over the course of the four-day event, UAAGI is set to deliver a range of offers and experiences designed to make upgrading your car more accessible and more rewarding. From generous cash discounts to seamless car trade-ins, visitors are given practical pathways to ownership. On-site vehicle test drives also allow guests to experience performance firsthand, while Gacha prizes and exclusive merchandise add excitement to the overall experience. Supporting this effort is the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), UAAGI’s exclusive bank partner, which enables faster and more convenient financing solutions.

A Destination Built for Action

The UAAGI West Wing has a clear intent to turn interest into ownership. Visitors may step into a thoughtfully designed space that balances scale with accessibility. A uniform look unifies the UAAGI Wing, while distinct brand zones are defined by LED walls and identifiable backdrops.

The central booth houses the UAAGI Business Center, which is a hub for negotiation, consultation, merchandise claiming, and discussion with BPI liaisons. The result is an environment that supports UAAGI’s thrust to provide a one-stop-shop that allows for easier exploration and decision-making.
