Interested customers who couldn’t make the BGC Tour don’t have to worry as the World of Luxury nationwide roadshow will arrive in SM Megamall, Eastwood City, Estancia, SM City North EDSA, SM Mall of Asia, Lucky Chinatown, and Glorietta.

The Tiggo 8 Pro has a lot of tricks in its bag
One of the places the midsize crossover set its wheels on since its Philippine debut is on Mount Samat in Bataan where we were invited to test its capabilities. The ADAS made us feel confident driving the vehicle even during high-speed cornering, while the power delivery is adequate despite using the smallest 1.6-liter turbo engine.
