Smarter features, improved design, and high-performance technology for confident riding

In life, the trip is often just as important as the destination. Life’s many pleasures and lessons come from how you get there. The top motorbike manufacturer in the nation, Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), genuinely gets this. Because of this, the ADV160 is a vehicle that emphasizes the journey.

The ADV160 has upgraded technology, more sophisticated functions, and a distinctive appearance. This improved iteration, which carries the lifestyle-driven concept “The SUV Pride,” is designed for riders who fluidly transition between daily commuting and recreation, offering confidence, control, and distinction on every trip.

To mark its grand arrival, HPI hosted a dynamic launch event on January 19, attended by the media and content creators. The event kicked off with the unveiling of the model’s latest performance capabilities, signaling a new era for the unique automatic category in the Philippines.

Unmatched control and confidence on any road

As an adventure-style automatic scooter, The ADV160 is meticulously designed for those who seek excitement and a unique new colors. This model makes riding effortless with its Automatic transmission, allowing you to focus on the thrill of the ride without manual shifting or clutch operation.

Confidence is reinforced through advanced safety technologies. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with wavy disc brakes helps maintain stability during sudden braking, while Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) supports traction on varying road conditions. Visibility and rider awareness are further enhanced by the All LED Lighting System, Emergency Stop Signal, and Hazard Lamp, helping ensure you are clearly seen and prepared for unexpected situations on the road. These features ensures safety whether navigating busy city streets or exploring new paths during weekend escapes.

A bold fusion of rugged design and high-performance power

The latest design styling captures the spirit of an explorer, featuring a rugged yet premium aesthetic. With a 780 mm seat height and 165 mm ground clearance, it provides a commanding view of the road and the ability to clear obstacles with ease.

Beneath its premium exterior lies a high-performance 157cc, 4-valve, liquid-cooled, eSP+ engine. This powerhouse delivers a maximum power of 11.8 kW @ 8,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 14.7 Nm @ 6,500 rpm, providing the punchy acceleration needed to stay ahead of traffic. Despite its robust output, it remains remarkably efficient with a fuel consumption of 45.0 km/L (WMTC). Combined with an 8.1 L fuel tank, this efficiency allows riders to explore more, making it a reliable partner for long-distance touring and daily use alike. Ride comfort is also elevated through the

Adjustable Windscreen, which helps reduce wind fatigue, and the Subtank Rear Suspension, designed to absorb road imperfections and provide a smoother ride across longer journeys.

Redefining convenience with smart technology and the smart top box

Everyday riding becomes more intuitive with the ADV160’s new 5-inch TFT meter panel, offering clear and modern visual access to essential riding information. Exclusive to the RoadSync type, Honda RoadSync brings smartphone connectivity to the ride—allowing access to navigation, calls, and notifications—while the new multi-function switch and passing light switch keep controls easily within reach.

Daily convenience is further supported by thoughtful features such as the New USB Type-C Charger for on-the-go device charging, the Idling Stop System for improved efficiency during traffic stops, and the Honda Smart Key System for keyless operation. Storage needs are well covered with a spacious 30L luggage box, ideal for daily essentials and leisure gear, while compatibility with a Smart Top Box, which can be operated by the Smart Key System, adds secure, weather-protected storage for longer rides and adventures.

Today, we mark another important event, as we officially launch the latest version of ADV160, a model that has become a symbol of strength, confidence, and adventure on the road. Known for its bold design and commanding presence, the ADV160 embodies what we proudly call “The SUV Pride.” Says Mr. Takeshi Kobayashi, President of Honda Philippines, Inc.

Express your identity through premium style and color

Carry your ride with pride as The ADV160 is available in variants designed to suit your personal style. The ABS Type comes in three sophisticated shades: Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic, Pearl Fadeless White, and Matte Sabre Green Metallic

For those prioritizing advanced connectivity, the RoadSync Type is offered in more premium colors: Matte Pearl Crater White and Quartz Brown Metallic. Every detail is crafted to ensure you stand out with a modern appearance and maximum visibility.

The new facility offers added convenience and support for Toyota customers in Rizal, reinforcing Toyota’s commitment to accessible mobility nationwide

Casimiro “Jun” Ynares III, Toyota Antipolo, Rizal President Zellyn Lim Diaz, Toyota Antipolo, Rizal Vice Chairman Liberty Manuel, and Toyota Antipolo, Rizal Director Lesley Lim

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP), in cooperation with Toyota Taytay, Rizal Inc., has recently commenced the development of a new dealership, marking a significant milestone in Toyota’s expansion to continue providing convenience and excellent quality service to its growing customers.

The soon-to-be built facility, located along L. Sumulong Memorial Circle in Barangay San Jose, is built to offer reliable, high-quality automotive services, supporting Toyota’s commitment of worry-free ownership and an enhanced guest experience.

Once completed, the Toyota Antipolo, Rizal Dealership will span a total floor area of 12,160 square meters across three floors and a mezzanine, with a complete range of services including Express Maintenance, Periodic Maintenance, Body & Paint Services, and General Repairs. Additionally, a modern showroom with space for 7 car displays and 37 well-equipped service bays is allocated to better serve customers in the province.

TMP President Masando Hashimoto

Expanding Access to Mobility

“I have always hoped that a Toyota dealership will be part of Antipolo,” shared TMP President Masando Hashimoto. “I can’t wait for the grand opening at the earliest possible timing, not just because Toyota Antipolo is set to strengthen our network, but because it helps us serve customers with greater convenience,” he expressed.

Toyota Antipolo, Rizal President Zellyn Lim Diaz

Looking forward to the future

“As we establish Toyota Antipolo, we are proud to contribute to the local economy,” shared Toyota Antipolo President Zellyn Lim Diaz. “This project will generate employment — from jobs during construction to long-term careers once operations begin. More importantly, it will provide opportunities for learning, development, and stability for many families. Because progress is most meaningful when it uplifts others,” she added.

Antipolo is a rapidly growing city whose economy is driven by retail, real estate development, tourism, and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), supported by its role as the capital of Rizal province and its proximity to Metro Manila. Commercial centers, housing projects, and tourism generate employment and steady local revenue. Its transportation sector is closely tied to Metro Manila, relying mainly on road networks such as Marcos Highway and Ortigas Avenue Extension, that carries commuters to and from the city daily.

Toyota Tamaraw Ambassador pays homage to Sinulog

Coco Martin brings the vibrant Sinulog spirit to life at his mall show in SM City Cebu

Coco Martin shines during his Sinulog Grand Parade appearance

By inviting Coco Martin to Cebu City for the festival weekend, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) added even more excitement to this year’s Sinulog celebration. By doing this, TMP demonstrated its dedication to interacting with communities throughout the Philippines and its support for regional customs.

Seeing Coco Martin up close as he joined the celebrations and added energy and star power to the lively celebration gave festival attendees an unforgettable experience.

In addition to being a fiesta, Coco Martin sees the Sinulog as a chance for people to put aside their differences and come together in prayer.

“Ramdam mo dito yung tibay ng loob at pananampalataya ng mga Cebuano,” he said during his visit to Cebu City on Sinulog weekend. (You feel the Cebuanos’ inner strength and faith.)

TMP’s initiative not only amplified the spirit of Sinulog but also created meaningful connections with the people of Cebu.

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) and Coco Martin timed his Next Generation Toyota Tamaraw Roadshow with the Sinulog celebration, held every third weekend of January in Cebu, to be one with the Cebuano devotees. He proudly carries his badge as the Tamaraw Next Generation ambassador, enthusiastically going from one city to another to engage with the Tamaraw customers and his fans.

Cebu City was his fourth stop after Cagayan de Oro City, Tacloban City, and Marilao, Batangas. He has more cities to visit in the months ahead.

He likens the strong and persevering faith of the people of Cebu to the durability and reliability of the Tamaraw Next Generation. A devout Catholic, the actor/filmmaker who is behind the TV hit series “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” and “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo”, has a strong devotion to the Black Nazarene.

Coco Martin meets with the customers of Toyota Mabolo and fields questions about the Tamaraw from the Cebu media.

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) brought Coco Martin closer to Cebuano fans during the Sinulog weekend, starting with a meet-and-greet at the Toyota Mabolo showroom with Toyota Tamaraw customers. He then entertained mallgoers with lively performances, trivia games, and photo opportunities, even trying the steps of the traditional Sinulog dance. The weekend culminated with Coco joining the Grand Parade aboard a “Next Generation Toyota Tamaraw” float organized by Toyota Team Cebu, braving intermittent weather to experience the Sinulog beat and delight the street crowd.

Coco Martin aboard the float of Toyota Team Cebu joins the Grand Parade, to the delight of the street crowd.

The Next Generation Toyota Tamaraw utility van, launched in 2024, has quickly become a popular choice among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), start-ups, and those familiar with the early Tamaraw FX. With its design customizability, fuel efficiency, and affordability, the Tamaraw is now increasingly seen on roads nationwide, supporting nation-building by enabling better mobility and empowering MSMEs to grow their businesses.

Eric Ong (leftmost) and his family receive the ceremonial key to their Tamaraw FX from Tamaraw Ambassador Coco Martin (in brown jacket) at the Toyota Mabolo showroom on Sinulog weekend.

Cebu businessman Eric Ong has just bought his second Tamaraw, the 2.4 GL Utility Van DSL AT. He already has the Dropside DSL A/T variant that he uses for his construction business, Worldwide Builders.

He said he had waited for the 2.4 GL Utility Van DSL AT automatic transmission because it is more efficient to drive than a vehicle with manual transmission. Also, when he needs to load purchases of auto parts needed for his EGO Taxi fleet, the FX provides security for his cargo. And, he added, human passengers can safely ride in the Tamaraw FX.

Christine and Marc Lin (first and second from left) and their son (fourth from left) receive the ceremonial key to their Tamaraw FX from Tamaraw Ambassador Coco Martin (center) at the Toyota Mabolo showroom on Sinulog weekend. With them is their agent Jinggoy Olvido.

Marc and Christine Lin just bought a Tamaraw FX DSL A/T, intending it for their restaurant business especially for delivery. They said they find the Tamaraw “sturdy and reliable.”

The Ongs and the Lins received the ceremonial keys to their Tamaraw FX from Coco Martin at the Toyota Mabolo showroom on January 17.

The FX is the first and only utility van with automatic transmission across all brands in the Philippine market today, according to Toyota Mabolo.

Lester Alferez (left) bought a Tamaraw because he wanted a more efficient delivery of his coffee beans and other supplies for his business. With him is his agent Jay Naparate.

Lester Alferez, who is in the coffee industry, found the Tamaraw “a reliable vehicle that can handle daily work in the shop.”

“It’s strong, practical, and perfect for our coffee business needs,” he said.

Toyota has introduced two new colors for the Tamaraw utility van: super red for the Tamaraw Dropside DSL AT and greyish blue metallic for the Tamaraw FX DSL MT.

Lynk & Co. has achieved a major worldwide milestone with the Lynk & Co. 08 EM-P, earning two Guinness World Records. The Lynk & Co. 08 EM-P is now the world’s first high-end plug-in hybrid car to hold Guinness World Records for both the longest pure electric driving range and the longest hybrid driving range, both of which were attained without the need for refueling or recharging.

The first record, officially named “Longest Journey Attempted by a Plug-in Hybrid Powered Production SUV Without Refueling or Recharging,” was set in Hami, China on April 18–20, 2024, over challenging road conditions and harsh environmental conditions. In hybrid mode, the Lynk & Co EM-P achieved a total driving range of 1,813 kilometers, greatly surpassing its official maximum CLTC total range of 1,400 kilometers.

The second record, “Longest Journey Attempted by a Plug-in Hybrid Powered Production SUV on Electric Mode,” was achieved in Toluca, Mexico on December 22, 2025, demonstrating the vehicle’s ability to function as a true electric daily driver. In pure electric mode, it achieved a total driving range of 293 kilometers, surpassing its official maximum CLTC pure electric range of 245 kilometers, and covering far more than what most users need for everyday commutes and short trips.

These achievements are made possible by Lynk & Co EM-P’s “Super Hybrid” System, which is designed around intelligent energy use rather than simply relying on larger batteries or fuel tanks. The vehicle is also designed with CMO Evo architecture which adopts a seven-layer design, delivering a longer wheelbase, improved pure-electric performance, a stronger chassis, and smarter systems that enhance driving, safety, and connectivity.

While the records themselves are global milestones, their real significance lies in what they mean for everyday driving. These achievements show that long range is no longer reserved for test tracks or ideal conditions, but something drivers can rely on in real life, allowing them to depend more on electric driving during the week, while still having the flexibility to take longer trips when needed.

The Lynk & Co 08 EM-P makes energy replenishment voluntary rather than required, saving drivers from having to continuously schedule charging or refueling stops. This results in more freedom and fewer disruptions for longer drives. For everyday use, it means being able to drive without worrying about range all the time.

The Lynk & Co. 08 EM-P, which has two Guinness World Records in both hybrid and pure electric range, shows how smart hybrid technology can provide useful, real-world advantages by fusing performance, efficiency, and convenience in one car.

Government-validated testing highlights new energy vehicle performance using standardized gasoline equivalent metrics

The results of the 2025 DOE Fuel Eco-Run have been made public by the Department of Energy (DOE), and Lynk & Co.’s entrants, the 01 PHEV and 02 EV, showed notable energy efficiency. DOE scientists used a specific metric called “Liter of Gasoline Equivalent” (Lge) to give a scientific foundation for comparing various powertrains. The DOE defines this unit of energy content as being equivalent to the chemical energy in one liter of standardized gasoline liquid fuel. This makes it possible to measure the efficiency of new energy vehicles precisely in comparison to the use of conventional fossil fuels.

With a verified economy of 58.06 km/Lge, the Lynk & Co 01 PHEV proved to be the best plug-in hybrid vehicle. The vehicle’s capacity to optimize its electrified powertrain under actual highway circumstances is demonstrated in this picture. In addition to its efficiency, the 01 PHEV has an 800 km total hybrid driving range, making it a useful option for long-distance travel without the limitations of infrastructure for charging.

Engineered with a focus on versatile performance, the 01 PHEV features three distinct driving modes: Pure EV, Hybrid, and Standard ICE. This flexibility is backed by a globally recognized 5-Star Euro NCAP safety rating, ensuring that its high-efficiency output is matched by a robust safety architecture designed to protect occupants in diverse road scenarios.

In the battery electric vehicle (BEV) segment, the Lynk & Co 02 EV recorded a superior efficiency of 71.71 km/Lge. The all-electric SUV provides a pure electric driving range of up to 435km on a single charge. The 02 also benefits from a low drag coefficient (Cd) of approximately 0.25,  achieved through the car’s sleek aerodynamic design, which significantly aids in improving energy efficiency and extending its electric driving range.

The 02 EV further solidified its standing in the market by earning a 5-Star Euro NCAP safety rating, notably becoming the highest-rated compact SUV tested by the organization in 2025. This dual achievement of world-class safety and energy economy positions the 02 EV at the forefront of the compact SUV segment.

In the third quarter of 2025, a 156-kilometer section of the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX) was used for the 2025 DOE Fuel Eco-Run. Nearly 70 vehicles, including internal combustion engine (ICE), hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and battery electric vehicles (BEV), were on display at the DOE-led event. The route started at Petron TPLEX Northbound, continued to the Rosario, La Union rotunda, and ended at Petron TPLEX Southbound. The collected data highlights the contribution of cutting-edge vehicle technologies to the development of a more sustainable and energy-efficient transportation environment and provides customers with an open benchmark.
