Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is among the participating car brands at the 2026 Auto Focus Summer Test Drive Festival, which is happening from May 7 to 10 at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds. TMP said that it will be showcasing its latest new energy vehicles at the said test drive event.
The all-new RAV4 hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is among the electrified Toyota vehicles that event-goers can test drive. TMP first introduced the all-new RAV4 HEV in March 2026, and it comes in two distinct styles, depending on the variant of your choice: Adventure or the top-spec Limited trim.
Under the hood, both variants of the 2026 Toyota RAV4 HEV are powered by a 2.5-liter gasoline hybrid engine that delivers a combined output of 236 horsepower and 221 Nm of torque. The engine is connected to an e-CVT, and power is sent to all four wheels, which Toyota calls the E-Four AWD system.
Aside from the RAV4 HEV, the Toyota Urban Cruiser battery electric vehicle (BEV) is also available for test drives during the four-day event at the SM Mall of Asia Concent Grounds. The Toyota Urban Cruiser is built around a dedicated EV platform, which it shares with the Suzuki e-Vitara. It comes with a 61 kWh battery that generates 174 horsepower and 189 Nm of torque. Toyota claims that the Urban Cruiser BEV can do up to 475 kilometers of EV range on a single charge.
The list of electrified Toyota vehicles available for test drives also includes the bZ4X BEV. It is equipped with a 73.1 kWh Lithium-ion battery and dual electric motors that generate a combined 338 horsepower along with 338 Nm of torque. Toyota PH claims it can do up to 570 km of EV range on a single charge.
TMP is also offering test drives for its vehicles powered by internal combustion engines (ICE). This includes the Veloz V, Avanza G, and Raize Turbo. The wide range of electrified and ICE vehicles at TMP’s booth is ready to cater to each guest’s different needs and lifestyles.
“TMP is dedicated to bringing our wide range of electrified vehicles closer to our customers so they can experience for themselves the benefits of low-to-zero-emission vehicles. We hope with this year’s Summer Test Drive Festival guests will be empowered to make The Toyota Choice, by test driving our electrified vehicles and being able to find a vehicle that is right for them,” shared TMP First Vice President for Vehicle Sales Operations Elijah Marcial.
This year will also see Lexus participate for the first time at the Auto Focus Summer Test Drive Festival as they bring their luxury HEVs for available test drives. The Lexus IS Premier will be making its debut in the country and will be available for everyone to see and test drive. The Lexus NXh Premier, LBX, and RXh F- Sport will also be at the event to give guests a taste of electrified luxury mobility.
