TCL celebrated 25 years of partnership with Anson’s. This happened through an exclusive event titled “Beyond the Screen: A TCL x Anson’s VVIP Showcase.” The event underscored both brands’ shared commitment to innovation, customer trust, and excellence in home technology.

The showcase marked another milestone in TCL and Anson’s long-standing relationship—one that has evolved from a traditional supplier-retailer setup into a strategic alliance focused on growth and customer experience.

Honoring partnership, celebrating innovation

During the event, TCL presented Anson’s Appliances with a special award for their outstanding contribution to the brand’s success. Anson’s achieved a record-breaking milestone. They are the first dealer to sell the world’s largest and most advanced 115-inch TCL C7K Premium QD-Mini LED TV. It’s a highlight product that continues to redefine home entertainment.

The venue, Anson’s The Link, was transformed into a cinematic showcase featuring TCL’s latest lineup of TVs, air conditioners, washing machines, and refrigerators. Guests also enjoyed a live performance from Asia’s Diamond Soul Siren, Nina, adding a touch of glamour to the afternoon affair.

Exclusive deals for Filipino homes

To mark the occasion and the upcoming holiday season, TCL and Anson’s announced an exclusive promo. It starts from October 15 to 19, 2025, offering massive discounts across TCL’s premium appliance lineup.

Customers can enjoy special prices on TCL’s OLED and QD-Mini LED TVs. This includes the 65-inch Frame TV series, now available for as low as PhP 57,995.

TCL’s AI Full DC Inverter Air Conditioners, such as the TAC-10CSD/WEI, are also available. They start at PhP 20,995 with installation discounts of up to PhP 2,000.

Washing machines like the TWA120-P660DG are down to PhP 19,995, while select refrigerators are offered for as low as PhP 14,495—with a free electric kettle on every purchase.

The Beyond the Screen showcase not only celebrated a 25-year partnership but also reaffirmed TCL’s mission to deliver smarter, more connected living experiences for Filipino families.

Ford announces Mustang Mach-E, new Ranger in the Philippines

Fully-electric Mach-E delivers modern tech, signature Mustang DNA

Published

on

Ford has officially made the All-New Ford Mustang Mach-E and new Ford Ranger available in the Philippines.

The Mustang Mach-E is Ford’s foray into the full-electric vehicle scene. It features electric power and modern driving technology while still carrying over the iconic vehicle’s signature design cues and legendary driving experience.

The all-new premium EV is available at PhP 3,499,000 and is offered in Glacier Grey, Star White, Shadow Black, Velocity Blue, and Grabber Yellow.

Upon purchase, customers will get a free 3.5kW portable charger and 7kW wall box charger. The EV is available at Ford dealerships, including Alabang, Balintawak, Cebu, EDSA, Global City, Libis, and Marikina.

Efficient performance, extended range and power

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is powered by a dual permanent magnet synchronous motor that drives all four wheels. This produces 290Kw (394PS) of power and 676Nm torque. Such AWD configuration provides strong acceleration and quick response.

An 88kWh extended-range lithium-ion NCM battery delivers up to 550 kilometers of range. Owners can choose from Type 2 (AC, up to 11kW) and CCS2 (DC, up to 150kW) ports when charging.

A compatible home wall charger can replenish the battery overnight, while a 150kW charger can replenish the battery from 10 to 80% in under 45 minutes.

Selectable drive modes for the Mustang Mach-E include Whisper, Engage, and Unbridle. These various modes give drivers the opportunity to tailor the experience.

Meanwhile, a 1-Pedal Drive system allows the driver to accelerate and decelerate using only the accelerator pedal. Lifting off the pedal activates regenerative braking, which slows the vehicle and recovers energy for the battery.

The feature reduces brake use to improve efficiency and control, especially during stop-and-go traffic.

Bold design, Mustang heritage

Of course, the Mustang Mach-E retains the fastback silhouette and tri-bar tail lamps of the iconic pony car. A frameless grille works with LED projector headlamps with automatic leveling.

There are four 19-inch machine-finished aluminum wheels, and a drainable front trunk for versatile cargo space.

There is likewise a panoramic glass roof while an E-Latch door system replaces conventional handles. The vehicle will detect the driver and press its B-pillar button to release the door, opening slightly for easy access.

Other external design features include power-folding heated mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, and a hands-free power liftgate.

Inside are perforated ActiveX synthetic leather seats with 10-way power adjustment. The heated front seats, dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control, and rear air vents keep the cabin comfortable.

There is a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15.5-inch capacitive touchscreen with SYNC4A. This has enhanced voice recognition and wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto support.

The entertainment is also amplified by a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium sound system with subwoofer.

Behind the rear seats are 402 liters of space and there’s 1,420 liters more load space when the seats are folded.

Connect with FordPass

The Mustang Mach-E comes equipped with FordPass Connect. Owners have the ability to manage their vehicle right from their mobile devices.

Features include:

  • Remote Start / Stop /Climate
  • EV Charging Status
  • Battery States of Charge
  • Charge Session Details
  • Start / Stop Charging
  • Target Charge
  • Departure Times
  • Preferred Charge Times
  • Charge History
  • AC Charge Rate

For safety and convenience, the premium EV has nine airbags and a 360-degree camera with split view.

Standard safety systems and driver assistance features include:

  • ABS with EBD
  • electronic stability program, traction control
  • SecuriLock passive anti-theft system
  • Driver assistance features include Collision Mitigation
  • Reverse Brake Assist
  • Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Lane Keeping System with alert and aid functions
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Driver Impairment Monitor

New Ford Ranger: smart connectivity, enhanced capability

Meanwhile, the latest iteration of the Ford Ranger brings the smartest, most versatile, and most capable features to pick-up owners.

Customers can choose from a variety of engines for their specific needs. The 2.0L Bi-Turbo mated with 10-speed automatic transmission is available on the 4×4 Wildtrak variant, capable of 210PS power and 500Nm torque.

There is also a 2.0L Single Turbo mated with a 6-speed automatic or manual transmission available for other variants. This is capable of 170PS power and 405Nm torque.

Visually, the design features a defined new grille and signature C-clamp headlight in front. For the first time, the Ranger is equipped with matrix LED headlines for the Wildtrak 4×4. LED taillamps also clamp onto the new tailgate stamped with the “Ranger” badge.

Beneath is an upgraded chassis riding on a 50mm longer wheelbase and a track 50mm wider than the previous Ranger. New fenders and larger wheel arches also make the appearance more sculpted.

Inside, the pick-up uses premium soft-touch materials for its roomy cabin. There is a large touchscreen ranging from 10.1″ to 12″ to complement the fully digital instrument panel. The display is loaded with Ford’s SYNC4, which supports both Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

Moreover, the vehicle is equipped with a 360-degree camera for parking, tight urban spaces, and tricky terrains.

There is also an array of drive modes: Normal, Eco, Tow Haul, Slippery, Mud/Ruts, and Sand. These allow drivers and the Ranger to tackle any destination with optimized performance for different surfaces.

Among smart driver-assist technologies on the latest Ranger are:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering
  • Lane Keeping System with Road Edge Detection
  • Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
  • Forward Collision Warning
  • Lane Keeping Aid & Lane Departure Warning
