Fresh from the launch of its affordable subcompact crossover, the Raize, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has some good news for those looking for a small family carrier.
The Japanese brand has confirmed that the all-new third generation of the Avanza compact 7-seater MPV will be launched in the country very soon.
