The second-generation Honda BR-V is set to launch in a couple of days, but Honda Philippines isn’t done yet with building hype for the 7-seater. The Japanese automaker wants to assure the car-buying public that the new BR-V is not only able to deliver smooth and refined performance but can deliver excellent fuel mileage as well.
That said, Honda Cars Philippines put all the CVT variants of the 2023 Honda BR-V to the test with a fuel economy run in partnership with the Automobile Association of the Philippines. The Honda 7-seater topped the test with an impressive 24.70 km/L with its 1.5 V CVT model. This was then followed by the 1.5 VX CVT Honda Sensing model that got 23.48 km/L and by the 1.5 S CVT that achieved 22.61 km/L.
As part of the test, the APP drove each of the variants a total distance of 128 kilometers with the following parameters:
- – no cruise control
- – an average speed of 70 to 80 km/h
- – low cooling in the thermostat setting, no.1 for the blower setting
It goes to show that Honda made the BR-V well and tuned its 1.5-liter engine and the CVT for fuel economy, which is great considering the ever-fluctuating prices of gasoline.
The second-generation BR-V aims to strengthen Honda’s model lineup to the next level. This All-New 7-seater ticks the right boxes in a family vehicle, it’s got the tough character of an SUV, advanced technology and safety features, power, and efficiency to deliver great satisfaction for both the driver and its passengers.

LTO waives penalties for late driver’s license renewal
by Randolph de Leon1 week ago1 week ago

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has extended the validity of all motor vehicle registrations and driver’s licenses set to expire on September 30, 2025. The extension, announced by LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Vigor D. Mendoza II, moves the deadline to October 3, 2025, with penalties for late renewals waived.
The decision follows President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s directive to provide assistance to those affected by recent weather disturbances. Acting Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Giovanni Z. Lopez also supported the move. Mendoza confirmed that a memorandum has been issued to regional and district offices to implement the extension.
As per the memorandum, Mendoza stated that all registrations and licenses expiring on September 30, 2025, will remain valid until October 3, 2025. During this period, Mendoza made it clear that no penalties will be issued to motorists who fail to renew by the original deadline. Likewise, the order extends the 15-day period for settling traffic apprehension cases, initially set for September 26, meaning drivers have until October 3, 2025, to clear their traffic violations.
According to the LTO, the decision was partly made as a result of the suspension of government work in Metro Manila and other areas as a precaution against the impact of multiple cyclones and heavy rains. Among these were the onslaught of Typhoon Opong and tropical cyclones Mirasol and Nando, which have affected many areas, including the Bicol Region, the Visayas, and parts of southern Luzon. Adding to the matter was the southwest monsoon or “Habagat,” which brought persistent rainfall, leading to widespread disruption.

Mendoza concluded that the deadline extension, as well as the waiving of penalties until October 3, 2025, is LTO’s way of easing the burden of motorists who were unable to process their renewals due to circumstances beyond their control. LTO urges motorists to take advantage of the deadline extension and complete their renewals to avoid complications once the new deadline lapses.
