A brand’s legacy is built on trust achieved through many years of valuable service and reliable products. At Toyota, every car is manufactured with immense attention to detail to ensure every model will deliver the Toyota standard and will satisfy users’ needs.
“I’ve been a Toyota vehicle owner for more than 10 years,” shared Ana Marie Miranda-Bengco, a business owner. Her family owns different Toyota models including a Fortuner, an Altis, and a Grandia. “Having a Toyota makes life easier.

Toyota Philippines issued a statement relating the Hilux’s versatile dependability with it being the best selling pickup truck in the country and being a mainstay for humanitarian aid and emergency response transport across the globe. With a dozen variants and a million peso spread between starting and top prices, the Hilux is the base vehicle for diverse applications from commercial hauler to off-roading sport truck.
Press Statement by Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP), “Powered by passion and grit: the Toyota Hilux is ready to conquer every course,” 3 September 2021:
Manila l September 3, 2021: When the going gets tough, you need a reliable companion to get through the challenge. The same is true for drivers and vehicle owners. A car’s ability to deliver when it matters the most makes all the difference — be it on the rough terrain of an off-road adventure, or on the grind for a business, or even just for the demands of daily life. True to this idea, the Toyota Hilux, one of Toyota Motor Philippines’ most iconic vehicles and the country’s best-selling pickup, remains to be the quintessential heart and muscle vehicle that is ready for all of life’s challenges.
Whether on a smooth or rough road, the Toyota Hilux is the tried-and-tested pickup for any challenge or adventure – whether at work or at play. It has won the hearts of many not only because of its rugged appeal but also because of its dependable performance even in the toughest conditions.
The Toyota Hilux is a picture of versatility – ready to conquer any terrain and accompany its owner through life’s adventures.
Strong performance, versatility for different needs
The Hilux exudes strong performance and versatility, perfect for the diverse and many demands of a business.
TMP offers the Hilux Cargo, a rear seatless, windowless, and more affordable variant powered by the same 2GD engine.[1] The Hilux Cargo is specifically designed for the more demanding needs of mobilizing goods and services, be it in the field of agriculture, utilities, transportation and logistics.
The Hilux is also a strong workhorse, suitable to meet the varying demands for a business vehicle.
Aside from Conquest, G and E grades, TMP continues to offer the Hilux J in 4×4 and 4×2, Cab and Chassis, and FX for its fleet and business partners. Rain or shine, the Hilux aids businesses with power and productivity without compromising user safety and comfort.
Mobilizing and spreading hope
More than just a car, the Toyota Hilux is a symbol and vessel of hope for many amid times of uncertainty. The Toyota Hilux is often the vehicle of choice for humanitarian efforts, here and abroad.
For instance, Toyota Motor Philippines donated a Hilux to the Conservation International (CI) Philippines in 2018 for conservation projects in the Verde Island Passage, one of the richest marine biodiversity in the world. The Hilux was used to aid volunteers in the coastal clean-up and mangrove-planting along the coast of Lian, Batangas, and to support the entire marine biodiversity conservation project.
In 2019, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) donated 180 units of the Toyota Hilux to the Philippine Coast Guard (PGC). The Philippine Coast Guard’s (PGC) Special Operations Force and rescue response team uses the fleet of Toyota Hilux to access flood-prone areas and provide assistance to communities during calamities. [2]
The trust in the Toyota Hilux is also mirrored in various countries across the globe. In 2019, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) donated 20 Hilux vehicles to the Yemen Executive Mine Action Center (YEMAC) to transport desperately needed humanitarian aid for Yemenis in need of assistance. The Hilux, along with the Toyota Land Cruiser, was also among the vehicles used by the National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA) in Liberia for the enhancement of the agency’s mobility in mitigating disasters and disaster-related issues.[4]
Quality, durability and reliability in every inch
A vehicle’s design or appearance and overall efficiency are among the foremost factors considered by buyers when choosing a personal car.
The Hilux’s engine delivers on performance by providing exhilarating power to conquer various road conditions and even scale mountains. The latest generation of Hilux models offers greater fuel efficiency for much longer and tougher rides.
The Hilux is also built to take on the most extreme off-road conditions while maintaining its on-road poise. From the Intelligent Manual Transmission for the Conquest 4×4 MT that ensures a smooth gear shift to the vehicle’s Cruise Control for all Conquest variants that helps maintain speed and distance with ease, the Hilux is ready to accompany its owner on any terrain, sans the strain.
To ensure the safety of both the driver and passengers, the Toyota Hilux packs the most advanced safety and security features across its variants. The ABS+EBD+Brake Assist system and Hill-Start Assist Control give the driver more control.
With features such as reverse camera, clearance sonar and back up sonar for all Conquest variants, and seven SRS airbags, Downhill Assist Control and Vehicle Stability Control for the Hilux Conquest 4×4, any Hilux driver will be at ease to conquer every challenge on the road.
To enable customers, whether first-time buyers or those upgrading to their next Hilux, to choose the vehicle that suits their needs and preferences, the Toyota Hilux comes in a full range of variants. Buyers can choose from the 4×4 Conquest and 4×2 Conquest variants as well as the G AT and MT, and E MT models.
Hilux fans are offered a wide range of options to fit their needs and wants in a vehicle.
Hilux owners can upgrade and personalize their vehicle with rugged accents and functional items from Toyota Genuine Accessories. From overfenders, front under run and sports bar to digital recorders, wireless chargers and even an in-car emergency kit, TMP has made the Hilux even more customizable to make each vehicle the best reflection of its owner.
With new and innovative features complementing classic Toyota quality build, the Hilux remains the pickup trusted by many generations.
The Hilux combines top-notch quality with competitive pricing to offer users value for money. But more than this, TMP aspires to contribute to nation-building, humanitarian efforts and more inspiring endeavors for the community by offering reliability and durability that is tough on every road and every challenge through the Toyota Hilux.

Business units of the Lopez group of companies are to operate electric vehicle (EV) employee shuttles at a Lopez group-operated special eco-zone industrial park in southern Luzon. Under an agreement arranged by First Balfour, the Lopez group’s construction subsidiary, the group’s Thermo One Transport Corp. (TOTC) will operate two 30-passenger COMET EV minibuses to shuttle employees of sister company First Philec, a major manufacturer of electric distributors located at the group’s First Philippine Industrial Park in Batangas.
Acquired from the local affiliate of US-based Global Electric Transport Worldwide, Inc., the shuttles are the latest generation models of those COMET EV minibuses that were first seen in the country serving the SM North EDSA to Katipunan corner Aurora Avenues transport route in Quezon City. During the group’s agreements signing event last August 11, TOTC president Anthony Fernandez said that each COMET electric shuttle prevents carbon dioxide discharges that could’ve reached 40 metric tons over the course of its service life if it were instead powered by a conventional combustion engine.
Press Statement by First Balfour, “FPH companies to launch electric bus service in Batangas,” 2021:
Lopez Group companies under First Philippine Holdings Corporation (FPH) are working together to introduce a hi-tech, zero-emission bus shuttle service project as part of a program for integration of more green technology and decarbonization efforts in their businesses and allied services.
Clockwise from left: GET Philippines Managing Director Anthony Dy, TOTC President Anthony Fernandez, GET Philippines Vice President for Business Development and Legal Affairs SP Sumulong, GET President Freddie Tinga, T1 Rentals Head Levi Dy, and First Balfour Chief Finance Officer Jonathan Tansengco
FPH said that its engineering and construction subsidiary First Balfour, through unit Therma One Transport Corporation (TOTC), has reached an agreement with GET-Philippines, the local arm of US-based Global Electric Transport Worldwide, Inc. (GET), for the initial acquisition from GET of two new-generation COMET electric buses.
TOTC has also finalized a separate agreement with electric transformer maker First Philec Inc., another FPH subsidiary, for the use of the first COMET bus by First Philec employees in Lopez-controlled First Philippine Industrial Park (FPIP), a 520-hectare special economic zone in Batangas.
TOTC plans to replicate the non-polluting transport project in other business sites and projects where the project will be suitable.
“We have been integrating sustainability in our businesses and in how we operate. We have been looking at investing in electric vehicles for service vehicles for some time now. For us, this is the future,” TOTC President Anthony Fernandez stressed during the signing agreements last Aug. 11.
Fernandez said the 30-passenger COMET buses, scheduled for delivery in October, can travel up to 100 kilometers on a single charge. Each bus also comes equipped with wi-fi connection, a GPS or global position system device, and other amenities, including a contact-tracing app.
He explained that each COMET bus can displace an estimated 40,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide or CO2 that the bus would otherwise spew to the atmosphere, if it were to run on fossil fuel.
Studies have tagged the transport sector as a major emitter of CO2, a greenhouse gas whose massive and continued buildup in the atmosphere is being associated with climate change and destructive weather patterns, such as typhoons and floods. An overwhelming number of motor vehicles around the world run on gasoline or diesel — fossil fuels with high CO2 content.
A shift to the use of electric vehicles, which emit no CO2, has been identified as one solution to check the buildup of more greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. GET is developing green transport solutions, like the COMET — the acronym for Community Optimized Managed Electric Transport — as its response to the climate problem.
First Philec and TOTC, tapped the services of GET-Philippines as their way of reinforcing support for FPH’s campaign against climate change.
“I personally believe that the greatest of all achievements starts with an agglomeration of small, meaningful, and truly insightful steps. This demonstrates that we are ready to forge collaborations and partnerships for a decarbonized and regenerative future,” First Philec President Ariel Ong commented during the signing ceremony. “We hope this is just the beginning of a truly consistent set of activities in order for us to share the mission and the message to our employees, to the larger community, and to the whole country.”
GET-Philippines President Freddie Tinga added: “Partnering with the Lopez Group, an organization renowned for its priority in the sustainable enterprise is a huge milestone. We expect that we will be together at the forefront of what we believe is a changing of the guard in the transport and sustainability sector.
“As we have always said, our goal was not just to build a better vehicle, it has always been about helping to build a better world,” Tinga stressed.

Toyota punctuates a historic Corolla milestone by turning the spotlight on the model’s evolution into a hybrid sedan as well as into a crossover sporter derivative. With 50 million Corollas sold as their backdrop, Toyota touts how the classic badge now marks the Corolla Altis hybrid sedan, and the new Corolla Altis Cross and Cross Hybrid crossover SUVs.
Press Statement by Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP), “Meet the new breed of the iconic Toyota Corolla: 50 Million Units Sold Worldwide and Beyond: The Corolla Legacy Lives On,” 20 August 2021:
The Toyota Corolla, a classic car that’s been synonymous with reliability, trust and timelessness since its introduction in the ‘60s, is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and preferred models Toyota brought to the Philippines. A catalyst of widespread car ownership in Asia, the Toyota Corolla continues its heritage of trust and defies the tests of time, cementing its dependability and power with its recent milestone of over 50 million units of the Corolla series sold across the globe.
To continuously deliver top-of-the-line products, Toyota relentlessly improves the classic Corolla lineup to provide Filipinos with a better driving experience. Buckle up as the Altis, Altis Hybrid, Cross and Cross Hybrid take car owners to the future of driving.
Class, Safety, and Convenience
Corolla Altis Hybrid delivers optimum performance on the road while ensuring a responsible drive for the environment
Whether cruising through the city or the countryside, the Corolla series has the best of models to offer, fusing class, safety, and convenience with optimum drivability thanks to the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA).
The Corolla Altis series delivers optimum driving performance with improved moving, turning, and stopping features achieved through the TNGA program, which changes the basic architecture of the cars to greatly enhance basic performance and product appeal.
The classic Corolla Altis is a sophisticated everyday sedan sporting a redesigned circular body structured for maximum stability with thinner front pillars and taller windows that give drivers better visibility on the road. Its double wishbone suspension optimizes wheel motion for precise handling, agility and an absolutely comfortable ride.
Ushering in a new era of hybrid cars, the Toyota Corolla Altis Hybrid or HEV (which stands for Hybrid Electric Vehicle) ensures maximum fuel mileage while helping lessen impacts to the environment with its advanced Hybrid Technology powered by the combination of a gasoline engine and a self-charging electric motor that doesn’t need to be plugged in to an electricity source. The Corolla Altis Hybrid reduces CO2 emissions while producing and storing its own electric power, as it toggles between its two motors, bringing people, technology and the environment in harmony with each other. Manufactured with the environment in mind, the Corolla Altis Hybrid delivers a safe, quiet and fast drive, not to mention a responsible one.
Apart from their elegant physique and optimum drivability, the Corolla Altis and Altis Hybrid put a premium on the safety and convenience of users. On top of the standard safety features such as the seven airbags surrounding the cabin interior for occupants’ protection, the Hybrid variant operates with the Toyota Safety Sense system or TSS. TSS is a set of safety standards designed to help protect passengers which includes Pre-Collision System (PCS), Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) and Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) to warn the driver of imminent collision and keep the car centered in its lane.
Crossing over to a new era with the Corolla Cross
Introducing a new era of driving, Toyota reinvents convenience with the Corolla Cross to take crossovers to a whole new level. The launch of the Corolla Cross’ HEV variant marks the first time Toyota launched a hybrid crossover in the country. The refined interior makes room for families of five, with more space for cargo at the rear compartment. High-tech interior and premium features such as the 8in infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto guarantee the comfort and convenience of riders for a fun and exciting trip for everyone.
Corolla Cross reinvents convenience in one sophisticated and high-powered package
Drive with peace of mind with Hybrid Advantage in one sleek package. Its Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) complements the 1.8L engine designed exclusively for the hybrid system for drives across the busy city or nature trips. The Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert present in the HEV models alert the driver to approaching vehicles in their blind spots and when backing up during parking.
Similar to its siblings in this series, the Corolla Cross HEV prioritizes safety through the Toyota Safety Sense technology, including the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Departure Alert (LDA) ensuring a conveniently safe ride every day.
Coming together with history
Investing in a Corolla is a decision that’s smart and reliable with long-lasting benefits as proven by million Corolla owners globally. Be it for solo adventures or family travels, the Corolla’s multi-generation history of providing reliable, trusted and ever-better cars guarantees a safe yet fun and fulfilling ride each time.
