It has proven to be both fast and reliable, winning four-, eight-, and 12-hour endurance races no less than five times in the Philippines. In the past two seasons of the MSCC Miata Spec Series, there have been no mechanical breakdowns. Driven properly, the MX-5 Spec Series race car will go through an entire season only requiring consumables such as brake rotors and discs, and filters.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2N-pKOPWa8UI9HSS5I9y554UG-py76CKHBjvIv9jBZna1AH1ekwea8-qcXz_yuUopZ4bDUHXBXNyykcshVBmdSaqzhwv0cf5ZnbSVl1qDTBOSH7Lko1dRia7EzC1ur4mXnEED4lzRBm-cgVfk3uEM4aCudZ8vEOjKVbXcMSzxoewyUyckNkDaQ3Qeljk/s3000/MJJ08013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="3000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2N-pKOPWa8UI9HSS5I9y554UG-py76CKHBjvIv9jBZna1AH1ekwea8-qcXz_yuUopZ4bDUHXBXNyykcshVBmdSaqzhwv0cf5ZnbSVl1qDTBOSH7Lko1dRia7EzC1ur4mXnEED4lzRBm-cgVfk3uEM4aCudZ8vEOjKVbXcMSzxoewyUyckNkDaQ3Qeljk/s16000/MJJ08013.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Inspired by the largest one-make grassroots race series in the world, the Mazda Spec Miata, the MSCC Miata Spec Series cars are all built from showroom standard Mazda MX-5 Soft Top units.

Each suspension component has been upgraded too with CUSCO Sport S 24-way adjustable coil overs and sway bars (24 mm at the front, 14 mm at the rear) to maximize handling and performance on the track, while ensuring drivability on the road. All MX-5 Spec Series cars race with GT Radial Champiro SX2 tires mounted on custom 17 x 8.0 J Rota Strike wheels. Repeated hard braking on the circuit also meant upgrading the brakes using Autoexe stainless steel braided hose lines and Winmax brake pads.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihAcGd_U-QjeGiP1wzeuvNT6VdEosrKE5tOcCll5wSHW1W_y9OeoLi_XTd5KQo4HH9raVfUDA7WJiOnk5AhiFTYtzVKf7I2ad7VBKFp-H-d2PG6bPPpUc9C1LRzJs2Y4chce1nidMYOiTH9T9EuPmx0s19W7K41_StWo6Iq8HOhvIrcjpu-BxRJ47SjGE/s3000/MJJ02725.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="3000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihAcGd_U-QjeGiP1wzeuvNT6VdEosrKE5tOcCll5wSHW1W_y9OeoLi_XTd5KQo4HH9raVfUDA7WJiOnk5AhiFTYtzVKf7I2ad7VBKFp-H-d2PG6bPPpUc9C1LRzJs2Y4chce1nidMYOiTH9T9EuPmx0s19W7K41_StWo6Iq8HOhvIrcjpu-BxRJ47SjGE/s16000/MJJ02725.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">A custom stainless steel exhaust system, developed by local company Drift Xaust, maximizes air flow and enhances the racing note emanating from the MX-5’s 181-horsepower engine.

Then Jonel brought up the kicker – the invitation included various adventures, among them is to ride around the province atop the new premium adventure motorcycles in Motor Ace’s stable – the Husqvarna Norden 901 and the Aprilia Tuareg AND to go diving the pristine waters off Apo Island! I then responded with a drooly, semi-satanic “Hell, yes please!”</span></p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Bikes first: Specs-tacular</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The two bikes I mentioned both carry the prestige of their European lineage – Sweden (Husqvarna) and Italy (Aprilia).

I was met by no less than our host, Don Jonel Borromeo, himself! We took in a quick coffee and breakfast and headed to the Motor Ace shop in the city. Jonel had already been riding the Aprilia Tuareg days before my arrival and he rode to the shop on it. We then took a short tour of the Motor Ace store, with particular focus on the leisure bikes display on the second floor. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcdWLXZ86IofYuAyQG0yfLUWtYmjxC25Whzh89Ezp-XX0i2coptNdpKKldQ-4DqOLnxykbY7iBLo5YAKxTAX_-dDugShpfyj4ii4KjJCHuGTHpW5Lb0yR4fdcGZbOCh1d_ay08ApBhFRuJx2AvgVZOxUT1RP5a2FpPdN7-j5WGPQRd_jphpjd2caDst10/s4045/toby6.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2401" data-original-width="4045" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcdWLXZ86IofYuAyQG0yfLUWtYmjxC25Whzh89Ezp-XX0i2coptNdpKKldQ-4DqOLnxykbY7iBLo5YAKxTAX_-dDugShpfyj4ii4KjJCHuGTHpW5Lb0yR4fdcGZbOCh1d_ay08ApBhFRuJx2AvgVZOxUT1RP5a2FpPdN7-j5WGPQRd_jphpjd2caDst10/w640-h380/toby6.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Touchdown Dumaguete</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We geared up and engaged in a “route briefing” of sorts. There were three in our party – Jonel, his brother and Motor Ace Chief Financial Officer Chipi Borromeo, and me. For the first leg of our ride (Dumaguete to Pamplona), it was agreed that I would ride the Norden, Jonel the Tuareg and Chipi the Royal Enfield Himalayan (sigh, my first big bike… <a href="https://www.motourismo.ph/2021/12/fulfilled-dreams-of-touring-on-two.html">https://www.motourismo.ph/2021/12/fulfilled-dreams-of-touring-on-two.html</a>). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Then, at the midpoint of our ride, we will switch bike assignments so that I get to ride the Tuareg, Jonel the Hima and Chipi the Norden.

And my first impression of the Norden ever since I saw it launched at the Makina Moto show earlier this year was that it is a gorgeous bike. The color scheme (the varied grays and neon yellow), the logo placements, the pipe position, the body fairing/cladding (I don’t normally appreciate a bike with fairing, but it somehow works with this one), and, of course, the majestic stance. Intimidating intentions. And I was intimidated. Bonus info: The Norden 901, despite its Swedish origin, is currently being assembled at the Sta. Rosa, Laguna Husqvarna plant in the Philippines! Pinoy pryde! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSECEBMeK5gV2ifYRDWwAjyy-8BsMNDXxk8W3fZej7dyPVbS8JRnoOIQDtyklWLrnB-ULpA1sfrp_YR_RwNQjDOzfhFoM5L0XEJrA2-YFEWXd-08YEhyBOUmmOnT7KvL1oZOWw5dtRxHtH1mWjzYd3ZsqUaJutSA6WJCycIS_jSHKSinCRIXqb-A2cg4w/s1571/toby3.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1571" data-original-width="1066" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSECEBMeK5gV2ifYRDWwAjyy-8BsMNDXxk8W3fZej7dyPVbS8JRnoOIQDtyklWLrnB-ULpA1sfrp_YR_RwNQjDOzfhFoM5L0XEJrA2-YFEWXd-08YEhyBOUmmOnT7KvL1oZOWw5dtRxHtH1mWjzYd3ZsqUaJutSA6WJCycIS_jSHKSinCRIXqb-A2cg4w/w434-h640/toby3.jpg" width="434" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Jonel showing us what the Norden can do.</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The next time I saw a Norden in person was in the leisure bike showroom of Motor Ace Dumaguete. It somehow looked even more imposing. I hopped on the display model and it was the first time I was on tiptoes on either side of any bike. I’m not too tall (5’10) and my inseam is on the short side (I think I have a longer torso). The thought of riding on a “high” bike rekindled some newbie rider jitters (although this is my 3rd year of riding motorcycles, I am still pretty green, if you get my meaning), as I have gotten so used to riding my (relatively low) W800 and my Vespa. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">All geared up and briefed, we went to meet the rides. As I hopped on my assigned Norden, it did not feel as high as the display unit but that was probably because some usage of the bike “softened” the suspension a bit. That said, I was still on the edge of the balls of my feet on each side of the ride. And off we went, with Jonel leading the way. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As I started the bike and was feeling out the gas and clutch, I was surprised at how manageable and “friendly” the bike was. Low end acceleration did not ask for much and the power distribution could be one of the smoothest I have experienced on any bike. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Exiting Dumaguete city, we were met by a bit of “urban” traffic. I was glad for the low-gear stability of the Norden during traffic slowdowns as I still had some apprehensions about setting my feet down on pavement and not being used to the topside weight of this Husqvarna. We soon were entering freer roads along the coastline and was beginning our ascent up the ridge roads of Pamplona. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As expected of an adventure bike, the initial steep ascents were of no consequence to the Norden. Picking up the pace, we soon encountered some twisties and I felt confident with my knees gripping the girth of the tank, supporting my attempts at counterweight maneuvers (shoutout to veteran rider and de facto riding mentor, Chris Franco!). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I soon got comfortable with the Norden, so much so that I was able to enjoy some of the great scenery Negros Oriental had to offer. The first leg of our ride soon came to an end as we approached our midway stop – La Nebbia Restaurant, famous for its hot chocolate, among other things!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Il Tuareg</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Rested up, chocolate fix done, and photo ops out of the way, we resumed our trek to Siaton. This time, I’m riding the Aprilia Tuareg. At first glance, the Aprilia seems to be the more “Italian” of the two bikes. One would see the details on what might have been better care taken on how each part is positioned and how seamlessly the color-scheme (predominantly red, in this case) is displayed on the machine, just like it would be for most vehicles of Italian nomenclature. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXhuzH7Yto1_f8PECUXcJvP6M9kJ1FQkBr87iszUEiuChtjOaDIeZMlxKMYvPQDN-VPhfOG5Z25NIop8oLrM3tQmY1G_eN7EK90igUMeiMdAdVkc4nz7ph5kDsAQLNkSOgEGUamejXIWJewB1MF7JM08YCBpDxM8DUTAO3AkP5J8HYe3-Q3miRxg7-kAg/s3469/toby8.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3469" data-original-width="2569" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXhuzH7Yto1_f8PECUXcJvP6M9kJ1FQkBr87iszUEiuChtjOaDIeZMlxKMYvPQDN-VPhfOG5Z25NIop8oLrM3tQmY1G_eN7EK90igUMeiMdAdVkc4nz7ph5kDsAQLNkSOgEGUamejXIWJewB1MF7JM08YCBpDxM8DUTAO3AkP5J8HYe3-Q3miRxg7-kAg/w474-h640/toby8.jpg" width="474" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Glorious under the sun.</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Mounting the Tuareg immediately felt (more) reassuring, with what felt like a lower ride height than that of the Norden, which might have been my imagination because the height is nearly the same according to the spec sheet. The Aprilia’s tank width also felt more narrow. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Upon doing some equipment checks, I proceeded to start the bike. I eased it into gear and let go of the clutch then – kaput. The engine died on me. Of course, I baby-ed the gas as I often would when I’m in the getting-to-know you stage on a new motorcycle. The Aprilia wanted more gas. I obliged and was soon back on my way, trailing Jonel on the Himalayan. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Immediately, still on tarmac, I felt the Tuareg’s suspension to be a bit stiff. Also, throughout the ride, I felt that I was doing the bike a disservice. Despite (or more like due to) my few years of motorcycle experience, I have sort of built a reputation of riding relatively slower than most riders in my varied moto groups. And this did not seem to sit well with the Aprilia Tuareg. I felt the bike demand more from me as a rider. It would feel a bit rough on the low end, but, on the other extreme, really smoothen out when you twist the throttle out further! Given the slimmer tank, I also felt I went slower on the curves than with the pace I did on the Norden. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It seemed like the Tuareg was saying to me “What business do you have riding a motorcycle of my pedigree, noob?!” This was made even more pronounced when we entered a long unpaved segment heading to our final destination. The trail was quite craggy, with loose dirt and stones aplenty and the jutting of sharp coral-like formations along the way. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Again, I took extra care traversing this path, baby-ing the throttle some more. I even fishtailed and stopped before a rise that had more of the sharp rock structures ahead of me. Pretty soon, I forced myself to relax and let the bike do most of the work. With that, I completed that day’s course and arrived at Casa Borromeo in pretty much one piece.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Parting impressions on the bikes: Aventyr (Swedish) o Avventura (Italian)?</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I was very pleased at the (approximately) 130km test run I did with the both adventure bikes. At the risk of overstating the obvious, what may have been two similar bikes at first glance ended up starkly different at the outcome. Of the two, I would say the Husqvarna Norden 901 was the more welcoming one. The Norden could go at the pace the rider dictates and not the other way around. Meanwhile, the Aprilia Tuareg is the more technical one. I feel the Tuareg already expects a certain (higher) level of rider proficiency prior to an initial engagement. That said, I would also avow that both motorcycles are made with utmost quality and care by the two manufacturers.

Now the brand brings a new line of passenger vehicles into the market, which includes SUVs, MPVs, mini-CVs, and many more. Moreover, Dongfeng Motors offers new-energy vehicles, along with HEV, all-electric, and natural gas vehicles. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This October 16, Legado Motors Inc. will be launching Dongfeng Motors as the latest brand of passenger vehicles to hit the Philippine shores starting off with their EVs and hybrids.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">What really made the Legado team accept DMi's offer was the make and look of the car, it was very catchy and trendy, and the specifications were really value for money.

The impressive technology, sleek designs, and exceptional performance of the Chinese cars deeply captivated them. They were amazed by the convenience of driving an electric car without constant charging and were particularly impressed by a car that could travel an impressive 430kms on a single charge. It became their dream to bring this brand to their home country, the Philippines. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, Rachel Villanueva sits as the president of Autoflare, a high-end car dealership.

The facility is the largest to date and the first dealership to open under the stewardship of AC Motors, the automotive arm of the Ayala Group of Companies which was recently appointed by BYD as its official distributor in the Philippines, through its subsidiary Mobility Access Philippines Ventures, Inc. (MAPVI).</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The 4,000-square-meter BYD Quezon Avenue flagship has a large showroom which can showcase BYD’s pure EV line-up, including the BYD Dolphin (hatchback), BYD Han (sedan), and BYD Tang (SUV). The state-of-the-art facility also features an elevated customer lounge experience and dedicated new-car release area, and embodies a look and feel meant to communicate sustainable transport through a mix of green and contemporary design.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The new BYD Quezon Avenue dealership—together with Solar Transport’s original facility, BYD Makati—are the first of at least 12 BYD dealerships planned to rise in key locations nationwide over the next 12 months. This comprehensive BYD dealership roadmap is proof of AC Motors’ commitment to green technologies and confidence in the global powerhouse that is BYD.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The cooperation between AC Motors and Solar Transport is underpinned by a shared vision of enabling sustainable mobility solutions for Filipinos. “BYD’s presence in the country was already formidable,” says MAPVI president Toti Zara. “Thus, we look forward to scaling even bigger heights and bringing the brand closer to even more Filipinos. Building your dreams has never been more attainable, and exciting.”</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">“The BYD Quezon Avenue flagship dealership is a testament to the strong partnership of AC Motors and Solar Transport, and our commitment to our valued customers to provide service that they can rely on,” says Mark Andrew Tieng, president and CEO of Solar Transport & Automotive Resources Corp. “We can assure our clients that each BYD EV will have access to exceptional after-sales service and support, including an extensive battery warranty coverage of 8 years or 150,000 kilometers. The company’s trained mechanics are dedicated to providing reliable customer service, and with the aggressive global expansion efforts and government-backed incentives taking place, BYD owners in the Philippines can expect peace of mind, reliable specialists, and a seamless ownership experience.”</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">James Ng, General Manager of the General Manager of BYD Philippines and BYD Singapore, said, "The opening of BYD's first flagship store in the Philippines not only illustrates the importance BYD attaches to the Philippine market, but also is an important step for BYD to deepen its localization in the Philippines, as BYD joins hands with its partners to practice the goal of low-carbon and green life with practical actions. This is a brand new starting point.”</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">BYD is the global leader in new energy vehicles (NEVs). The company is recognized for its build quality and world class technologies, as well as the expansive and integrated nature of its supply chain – from vehicle design and production; electric powertrain development; and battery raw material sourcing and manufacturing, including the proprietary BYD Blade Battery Technology. The brand has been present in the Philippines since 2013 through Solar Transport. Now, BYD’s Philippine footprint is poised to grow even further as AC Motors and the broader Ayala Group strive to accelerate the adoption of EVs across the country.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last August 11th, 2023, Ayala finalized a deal to be the official Philippine distributor of BYD passenger vehicles, a critical step in its thrust to develop the EV ecosystem in the Philippines. Ayala has been prioritizing the electric mobility space as an area of growth – with interests not just in the vehicle itself but in the entire ecosystem, including charging infrastructure and how the vehicles integrate into the overall customer lifestyle. The group is also uniquely positioned to capture value in the EV space, given its assets in renewable power generation, automotive distribution and dealerships, property development and management, manufacturing, financing and insurance, and digital connectivity, all of which are critical components of the EV ecosystem.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">BYD Quezon Avenue is located at 718 Quezon Avenue Corner G. Araneta Street, Quezon City with contact number 8516-0000. The showroom welcomes customers from 8:30AM to 5:30PM Monday to Saturday.</span></p><div><br /></div>Arabelle Jimenezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11023578469254366772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089668496995475005.post-88179304477157630842023-08-25T23:09:00.000-07:002023-08-25T23:09:16.095-07:00GAC MOTOR PHILIPPINES CELEBRATES 7-MONTH STREAK IN SALES; LAUNCHES GS8 4WD AT GAC DISCOVERY DRIVE FEST | Motourismo<p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6YkO8aNTB5P3WEgAkuGhFN4rPj6bCXTf_Xdv29tLMem_AX1mJP8SyhhY4apg9kUN7XUh9kjoGxaTeGKUCwWg-piZ8FAnCM6L2chWTwTNR14tyB5RtRExZTDuPOvIUt6HiAkpy6MOCp1TgA1WBX0GBjCMfj5KZdhYHwDWsZHSS6njcDUopRKQC4vZq78M/s5568/PR%20IMAGE%20(97).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3712" data-original-width="5568" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6YkO8aNTB5P3WEgAkuGhFN4rPj6bCXTf_Xdv29tLMem_AX1mJP8SyhhY4apg9kUN7XUh9kjoGxaTeGKUCwWg-piZ8FAnCM6L2chWTwTNR14tyB5RtRExZTDuPOvIUt6HiAkpy6MOCp1TgA1WBX0GBjCMfj5KZdhYHwDWsZHSS6njcDUopRKQC4vZq78M/s16000/PR%20IMAGE%20(97).jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">GAC MOTOR PHILIPPINES today announced a remarkable 7-month streak of record sales performance, achieving an impressive 276% year-over-year growth, selling a total of 825 units in this period.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The announcement was made by Franz Decloedt, marketing director of Astara Philippines, at the GAC Discovery Drive Fest, a three-day mall display and customer test drive event at the Glorietta 2, Ayala Center, Makati City.

The front end is dominated by Nissan's large V-shaped grille, which appears to extend into the headlights.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Swollen fenders on all sides give this tiny crossover a rough appearance. The back end is loaded with sharp creases and bulges, and the taillights are the most unusually shaped I've seen in a long time.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">All of these features make the Nissan Kicks stand out on the road without making it appear obnoxious. If the goal is to attract younger drivers, I believe the designers are on the right track.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Interior:</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">With a simple dash layout, the 8” touchscreen, which fronts the NissanConnect infotainment system, takes centre stage. We like that the interface has physical menu buttons, making it easy to operate and joy of joys, Android Auto and AppleCar Play is standard, YES!</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Behind the wheel, you will be greeted with a half-and-half digital and analogue instrument panel, similar to the on the Leaf EV, which displays the flow of energy back and forth from the wheels to the battery, and from the battery to the motor, while you drive.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Kicks accommodates four-and-a-half adults with ease, and the seats are comfortable. While rear passengers do not get their own air vents, the air-conditioning is powerful given it’s a Nissan. They do however have access to two rear-facing USB ports, sited at the rear of the centre console.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Drive and Performance:</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Given its dynamic styling, you’d expect the Nissan Kicks to deliver a sporty drive. It does – just don’t expect the traditional kind of sportiness.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The “e-Power” in the Nissan Kicks’ name refers to its electrified drivetrain. The Kicks isn’t powered by its 1.2-litre 3-cylinder motor. That engine only acts as a generator to charge the lithium-ion batteries.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Driving the Kicks’ front wheels is a 127hp (95kW) electric motor that also delivers 280Nm of instant torque. Most eco-conscious drivers here will find that this drivetrain makes more sense than a full-electric one. Instead of having to find a charging point, you only need to pump petrol to keep the Kicks going.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">You get to enjoy electric power and lower emissions, minus the stress of range anxiety.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">When you press the accelerator to the floor, the Nissan Kicks accelerates quickly. This is shortly followed by the petrol engine, which is eager to keep the batteries charged. It takes 9.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. And, like a good pair of running shoes, the Kicks is willing to let the driver get his or her kicks by pushing hard.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Nissan Kicks may not be designed for handling, but they don't mind being thrown into corners. Its small size gives it the sensation of a hatchback and makes it simple to drive.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Nissan Kicks e-POWER also comes with several driving modes. Aside from the default Normal mode, Sport (S) and Eco modes are also on hand. Both latter settings allow for one-pedal driving – releasing the accelerator pedal results in strong regenerative braking that brings the crossover to a halt.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The one-pedal function is particularly useful in stop-and-go traffic, as it saves you from having to move your foot between pedals. But you should switch to Normal when parking, as this when the one-pedal function becomes a hindrance.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Kicks’ efficiency is relatively good, too. I managed a combined consumption figure of 17.4km/L and with more expressway jaunts, this crept up to 18.2km/L – not far from Nissan’s claimed 21.7km/L.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">PHOTO GALLERY</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Starting at ₱ 1.239M to ₱1.539M, the Nissan Kicks e-POWER Premium Plus currently costs less than any other HEV’s in it’s category available in the market today.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">With a whole suite of active safety features that complement the Kicks E-Power's seven airbags, this subcompact crossover really delivers beyond its price point. The Kicks is an efficient exercise in cost-cutting—you get leather seats, full LED lights, and tonnes of features, and in exchange some niceties are taken away: there isn't a rear centre armrest, or soft-touch/padded plastics on certain parts of the interior, and the meter cluster is only partially, rather than fully digital.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There’s only one thing I find annoying about the Kicks e-Power. When the generator is on, the car emits a very odd ringing noise, and you can hear it from the outside when the car approaching you.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">All in all, I truly believe that this car is perfect for Manila streets. What you get with the Kicks E-Power is friendly car that has amazing fuel efficiency, features beyond its price range, and electric fun with non of the full-electric car drawbacks.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Go and take the car for a spin. Then see if you get your kicks from driving it, or if it gives you a kick in the pants.
