RECAP: All the new cars of the 10th Philippine International Motor Show
The 10th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) has come to an end. Held on June 4 to 7, 2026, it brought together a total of 17 automotive brands, each showcasing their latest products for our market.
Some brands launched new offerings, while some did previews. But more importantly, the majority of new products that were showcased at the four-day motor show had some sort of electrification, showing the growing interest in these kinds of vehicles in the Philippines, and how each brand is adapting to this market shift.
We’ve compiled a list of every new vehicle that was either launched or previewed at the 10th PIMS. In order of their respective unveilings, here they are:
Suzuki e Vitara
After a little bit of a wait, Suzuki Philippines has officially introduced its first non-mild hybrid electrified offering for our market, the e Vitara. Essentially the basis of the Toyota Urban Cruiser which launched locally a few months ago, this fully electric subcompact crossover is priced at Php 2,020,000 and will be available in the coming months.
Specifications are similar to its Toyota sibling with a single front electric motor that produces 174 horsepower and 193Nm of torque, paired to a 61kWh lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery that allows for a range of 475km on a single full charge.
Features include 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels, synthetic leather and fabric seat upholstery, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and a six-speaker Infinity audio system.

Isuzu D-MAX
While the Isuzu D-MAX EV has yet to arrive in our market, Isuzu Philippines is still committed to its lone turbodiesel-powered midsize pickup truck offering as it gives the D-MAX LS-A Plus and LS-E grades a bit of an update for 2026.
Soon to be available in our market, the refreshed “lifestyle variants” of the Isuzu D-MAX receive a redesigned front grille and fog light housings, new 18-inch alloy wheels which get a somewhat more elegant look, and clear lens taillights, all on the outside. Inside, the 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system has been updated with a new user interface, and the leather (or fabric on LS-A Plus) upholstery has been updated with a new pattern.
Engine options also remain the same with lower variants still powered by a 1.9-liter RZ4E turbodiesel engine good for 150 horsepower and 400Nm of torque, while most trims soldier on with the tried-and-tested 3.0-liter 4JJ3-TCX turbodiesel engine making 190 horsepower and 450Nm of torque.
Updated pricing will be announced at a later date.

Nissan X-Trail e-Power
After more than five years in overseas markets, and with an all-new generation already unveiled not long ago, the fourth generation Nissan X-Trail has finally arrived in our market, powered by Nissan’s e-Power hybrid system, and available in a single variant that’s priced at a competitive Php 2,290,000.
Sourced from Japan instead of Thailand, our market gets the latest facelift which comes with an updated V-Motion grille with horizontal slats and a blacked-out finish, new 19-inch multi-spoke two-tone alloy wheels, and gloss black bumpers and cladding. It also gets a new three-spoke steering wheel design, along with a new 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
As mentioned, under the hood is Nissan’s e-Power hybrid system. Here, a 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine powers an electric motor and a 1.85kWh lithium-ion battery. Combined output is 204 horsepower and 330Nm of torque, sent to the front wheels

Nissan Kicks e-Power
The heavily revised Nissan Kicks e-Power has been previewed by Nissan Philippines, and is now available for reservation. Launching this coming July 2026, it brings a much needed update to the aging subcompact crossover.
Based on the Brazilian market Nissan Kait, its exterior has been almost completely redesigned compared to the outgoing version, save for the roof and doors. The front fascia is sleeker and more futuristic with a split headlight design and a large grille, and the interior is more upmarket with more soft-touch surfaces and added technology.
Final specifications for our market have not yet been announced but we can expect the outgoing version’s e-Power hybrid system to be carried over, a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine that powers a 2.06kWh lithium-ion battery and electric motor. Combined system output is still the same at 136 horsepower and 280Nm of torque.

Nissan Philippines held the global premiere of the renewed Primera nameplate which takes on the form of the originally Chinese market-only N7 all-electric midsize sedan. Once launched later this year, it could compete with niche models such as the Tesla Model 3 and BYD Seal EV.

Turbodiesel-powered variants will all be getting the tried-and-tested 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine known as the 1GD-FTV.

Toyota Land Cruiser 300 HEV
Toyota Motor Philippines is bringing electrification to its flagship SUV offering with the introduction of a new hybrid variant. Previously available only with large oil-burning turbodiesel powertrains, this marks a huge change for the iconic and long-running nameplate.

Combined, the system produces a healthy 415 horsepower and 650Nm of torque, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain is also shared with the more luxurious Lexus LX 700h, albeit with less power and torque in this implementation.
Compared to the non-hybrid Land Cruiser 300, the hybrid variant gets a sleeker front bumper, slightly lower ground clearance at 234mm, and electric power-assist steering instead of hydraulic, among other small changes. Its price? Php 6,930,000 or an additional Php 1,172,000.

It’s truly better late than never. With no electrified model in its lineup, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines is playing catch up, previewing once more the Outlander PHEV. The good news is, it’s finally confirmed to be launching this coming August 2026.
Unlike the e-Power hybrid system on its Nissan X-Trail sibling, the Outlander PHEV gets a larger 2.4-liter naturally aspirated 4B12 gasoline engine that produces a humble 133 horsepower and 195Nm of torque on its own. This is paired to front and rear electric motors that make 116 horsepower and 255Nm, and 136 horsepower and 195Nm, respectively.

This rides on smaller 17-inch alloy wheels, comes with a body-colored roof instead of black, and ground clearance is slightly lower at 219mm (-3mm).
