Oh boy, April was quite the month. We kicked it off with two international auto shows, Auto Shanghai and Asiabike Jakarta. While back home, we tested a wide array of powertrains—from the burly 99.8kWh battery packed in the Kia EV9, to the conservation plug-in hybrid configuration on the BYD Seal 5 DM-i, and finally the traditional ICE fitted into the new Isuzu MU-X.

Even our video producer, Charles Banaag, got behind the wheel of the Nissan Z Nismo for a couple of days and put its performance powerplant to the test. The whole team had their hands full this month, and we haven’t even gotten to the new releases.

The Isuzu D-Max EV has definitely piqued our interest, as the population of hybrid and electric pickups continues to grow around the world. We’ve gotten to see the electric D-Max a couple of times already, but the production model is finally here.
