The Zenix is the latest addition to TMP’s hybrid vehicle lineup, which consists of the Corolla Altis, Corolla Cross, Camry, and RAV4.
“Our customers have been waiting for a hybrid option that is perfect for more sustainable rides for the whole family, and so we are very proud to welcome this newest model in our MPV category,” TMP First Vice-President for Vehicle Sales Operations Danny Cruz said.
The HEV variant comes in 18-inch alloy wheels while the gasoline variant has 17-inch alloy wheels. Both variants have a push-start ignition system and smart entry for easier access.
