Performance

• Top speed limited to 160 km/h
• Smooth and peppy enough for city and highway overtaking

Range & Charging

• Observed range: just under 400km in mixed use
• Charging: 10% to 80% in about 40 minutes using CCS-2
• Average efficiency: around 5–6 km/kWh in mixed use

But at ₱2.135M
it faces strong competition
from bigger
more powerful
and more affordable EVs.

For buyers who want a small Toyota EV
it makes sense.

But for pure value
comparison is very important.

Salapare Motors Take:

EVs are becoming more common
but the right choice still depends on
budget
range needs
charging access
and daily lifestyle.

between EV, hybrid, or gas

Minsan akala natin
short drive lang

Pero isang accident
isang baha
isang traffic buildup
or isang aberya sa expressway

pwedeng maging ilang oras na paghihintay

Lesson learned lalo na
sa mga na-stranded sa traffic sa NLEX

Kaya bago bumiyahe
lalo na kung long drive
maghanda kahit basic lang

Bring water
snacks
power bank
extra phone cable
flashlight
basic medicine
and extra cash

Make sure din na okay ang
fuel level
tire pressure
battery
lights
brakes
and coolant

Kung may kasamang bata
senior
or family

mas importante na may extra food
tubig
tissue
wet wipes
and small emergency kit

Real talk:

Hindi mo kontrolado ang traffic
accidents
weather
or road delays

Pero kontrolado mo
kung gaano ka kahanda

Kaya…

A responsible driver
doesn’t just prepare the car

He prepares for the unexpected

Before every trip
check your vehicle
plan your route
and bring the essentials

For practical driving reminders
and vehicle guidance

Salapare Motors is here
to keep you informed.

Latest in MC:
Honda Click 125 Street Now in PH

Honda Philippines has added
a new variant to its popular Click lineup.

Meet the
Honda Click 125 Street

It now sits as the top variant
above the Standard Edition
and Smart Edition.

What’s New

• New naked handlebar design
• More street-style look
• Exclusive decals
• Available in Pearl Arctic White
and Mat Cyber Grape Metallic

Engine & Performance

• 125cc liquid-cooled engine
• Single-cylinder
• 11.56 hp
• 11 Nm torque
• Same engine as other Click 125 variants

Size & Features

• 769mm seat height
• 111kg wet weight
• 5.5-liter fuel tank
• Full LED lighting
• LCD instrument panel

Braking

• No ABS
• Comes with combined braking system
• Front disc brake
• Rear drum brake

Price

• ₱90,000 SRP

Quick Take

The Click 125 Street is not a major mechanical upgrade.

Same engine
same size
same basic scooter formula.

But the new handlebar
and street-style look
give it a fresher character.

For riders who already like the Click
but want something with more attitude,
this variant makes sense.

Salapare Motors Take

Sometimes, the best upgrade
is not always about more power.

It can also be about style
daily usability
fuel efficiency
and confidence on the road.

Rainy Season Car Buying Tip:
Ground Clearance Matters

Sa panahon ng ulan
hindi lang looks
ang dapat tinitignan sa sasakyan

Mas importante rin
kung kaya niya ang totoong daan

Baha
lubak
putik
rough roads
at provincial trips

Dito nagiging importante
ang ground clearance

Mas mataas na sasakyan
mas may confidence ka
sa uneven roads
at mababaw na baha

Kaya maraming buyers
nagko-consider ng SUV
crossover
or pickup

Pero real talk

Hindi ibig sabihin
kailangan lahat malaking sasakyan

Kung city driving lang
at tipid sa gas ang priority
baka mas practical pa rin
ang sedan or compact car

Kaya…

Choose based on your real route
not just the look

Dapat swak sa budget
lifestyle
at road conditions mo

For practical car buying guidance
Salapare Motors is here
to help you choose wisely.

Hyundai Venue GLS 2027 – Technical Review

The Hyundai Venue GLS
is a small crossover
that focuses on simple driving
compact size
and everyday practicality.

It may not look as new
as many newer rivals,
but it still has a few strong points
that make it worth considering.

Price

• ₱998,000
• Top-of-the-line GLS variant

Engine & Performance

• 1.6-liter gasoline engine
• 121 hp
• 151 Nm torque
• 6-speed automatic transmission
• Front-wheel drive

Driving Feel

• Peppy and fun for city driving
• Easy to maneuver in tight roads
• Steering feels light and responsive
• Best used as a daily city crossover

Fuel Economy

• Around 6.8 km/L in mostly city driving
• Not the most fuel-efficient in its class
• Sport mode improves response
but may increase fuel consumption

Interior & Space

• Cloth seats
• 8-inch infotainment screen
• Physical buttons and k***s
• Good luggage space for its size
• Comfortable enough for four passengers
• Five passengers may feel tight

Features

• Wireless Apple CarPlay
• Wireless Android Auto
• Automatic headlights
• Rearview camera
• Electronic stability control
• Hill-start assist

Things to Note

• Exterior design feels dated
• Cabin uses mostly plastic materials
• NVH gets more noticeable at higher speeds
• No advanced hybrid or EV tech

Verdict

The Hyundai Venue GLS
is not the flashiest crossover today.

But it is compact, easy to drive,
and has enough power
to make daily driving more enjoyable.

It may not be the best choice
for buyers focused on fuel economy,
but for those who want
a simple, fun, and practical city crossover,
the Venue still has something to offer.

2027 Nissan X-Trail e-Power – Technical Review

The Nissan X-Trail e-Power
finally brings Nissan’s hybrid system
to its compact SUV lineup in the Philippines.
It may feel late to the game,
but the powertrain is still its strongest point.

Powertrain
• 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine
• 1.84kWh battery
• Single front electric motor
• Single-speed automatic gear reduction
• Front-wheel drive
• 201 hp
• 330 Nm torque

How It Works
The gasoline engine mainly acts like a generator.
The wheels are driven by the electric motor,
so acceleration feels smooth
quick
and instant.

Fuel Economy
• Around 11–12 km/L in heavy traffic
• Around 16–17 km/L in mixed driving
• Can go above 20 km/L with highway driving and light traffic
• Nissan claims around 1,000km range on a full tank
Ride & Comfort
• Light steering in the city
• Good visibility
• Comfortable Zero Gravity seats
• Plush ride on long drives
• Decent cabin insulation
• Rain noise can be noticeable during heavy downpours
Interior & Features
• 5-seat layout
• Good second-row legroom
• 12.3-inch digital display
• 12.3-inch infotainment screen
• Physical buttons for audio and A/C
• USB-C ports
• 360-degree camera
• Power tailgate with kick sensor
Safety Tech
• Front-collision warning
• Autonomous emergency braking
• Lane-departure warning
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Rear cross-traffic alert
Things to Note
• Interior feels a bit dated versus newer rivals
• Storage space could be better
• No adaptive cruise control
• 360-degree camera quality is not the best
Price
• ₱2,290,000
Verdict
The X-Trail e-Power is comfortable
fuel-efficient
and easy to drive.
Its hybrid system still feels very good,
but the cabin and feature set
are starting to show their age.
For buyers who want a Japanese hybrid SUV
with smooth EV-like driving feel,
it still makes sense.
But with many newer hybrid options today,
value comparison matters more than ever.
Question
Would you still choose the Nissan X-Trail e-Power,
or look at newer hybrid SUVs in the same price range?
