The Trendy Crossover, the Changan CS75 Plus Spotted in the Philippines

    The mean-looking Changan crossover was spotted parked out in the setting sun on a dusty sidewalk. Its aggressive styling reminiscent of a teen boy's drawings, partnered with a color combination of red, white and black all over gave the CS75 Plus quite an assertive dynamic.


    The bold SUV you see now first started off as the CS75. It started its production in 2013 as a more tame and conservative version of the CS75 Plus manufactured mainly for the Chinese market. The new version you see today debuted in 2019 as a heavier type of facelift done to the original CS75. The one featured here came with a 1.5L turbo engine capable of producing up to 178 brake horsepower and 265 Nm of torque. 


    Although the official top speed hasn't been announced yet, its internal engineering has become much more efficient compared to older Chinese cars, such as the GAC Trumpchi GA3, where it was only able to produce 122 brake horsepower on a 1.6L engine.


    With a quick look at the rear, the design cues take a more modest approach. Despite the back end having a much simpler arrangement, it still features its streamlined style incorporated into its structure and layout of the tail lights and the diffuser, not forgetting its dual exhausts.


    And from the side, its muscle-like body partnered with its dark plastic side skirts truly gives it a modern feel. And that modern feel doesn't fail when it comes to the interior, its high-class digital instrument cluster put next to its 4K quality infotainment screen satisfies the needs of many of its customers.


    However, the question still pertains: "Does it all work together?" Its abundance of electronics may be its downfall when they fail, or its build quality, which many people are still not familiar with when it comes to Chinese automakers. With these in mind, numerous consumers may still hold back on getting one of these, but if these all do come together, the Changan CS75 Plus, and its familiars may be the next big thing on the road.

A Tuned Sporty White Mercedes-Benz C207 E 350 Spotted in the Philippines

Image
     If looks are your thing to kill for, the eight year period between 2010 and 2017 could be Mercedes-Benz's bloodiest year, with the C207 as the culprit. Lauded as one of the most beautiful cars of 2010, the C207 takes the cake with its sleek and sporty proportions. However, when tuned up and modified with an appropriate budget, the C207 becomes murder.       Exuding flair as style meets sophistication, the C207 was a special kind of E-Class, not due to its design or its equipment, but due to it being built on a C-Class platform, Mercedes's smaller saloon. Manufactured in the same factory as the C-Class in Bremen, the C207 blasted its high-performance rivals during its eight year period with its 3.5L V6 engine.       Generating a mighty 300 brake horsepower, coupled with 370 Nm of torque, the C207 had a top speed of 250 km/h, while having a 0 to 100 acceleration between 6.4 and 6.5 seconds. While it had a nuke for an engine with ...

A Sporty Greyed-Out Honda City RS Hatchback Spotted in the Philippines

Image
     Since 1996, the Honda City was a 4-door subcompact sedan known for its affordability. It was seated a rank below the Civic and was sold in a number of developing nations, from Thailand, to South Africa, and all the way to Brazil. Often overlooked, the City was always seen as its older brother's cheap counterpart, or the poor man's Civic. However, with the release of the new City, some say it may have found its rightful place.      But before 1996, the City started out as a cheap economy hatchback sold around Europe and Australia. However, almost 40 years after the dissolution of the hatch variant, the city car returns as the replacement for the Jazz, carrying a longer body, a lower roofline, and a more German sense of fashion.      The City's rear takes inspiration from the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, but takes its sloping roofline from the Audi A1. From the sides, it takes appearance of a mini-CR-v with a resemblance to the proportions of a ...
