The All-New Toyota ATIV Vios Hybrid ⚡️

“VITA” — meaning life in Latin — truly breathes new life into Toyota’s best-selling sedan. This 5th-generation Vios now comes in its most advanced form yet: sleek new design, modern interior, and hybrid efficiency capable of reaching up to 1,000 km on a full tank.

Under the hood, the ATIV features a 1.5L Hybrid System, paired with Toyota’s proven e-CVT, delivering smooth performance and remarkable fuel economy. It also comes with Traction Control, aircon vents at the rear, a large trunk space, and 15-inch wheels for added comfort and stability.

But the best detail for us? The cup holders — still cleverly placed at the front aircon vents (like the 3rd-gen Vios) and now also mounted at the rear door handles for added convenience. For those who still prefer the traditional setup, Toyota also offers a 1.2L ICE-only Manual Transmission variant.

Photos feature the two-tone 1.5 Hybrid variant.
Special thanks to Toyota Mandaue South for the invitation and opportunity to capture and test-drive this new generation of the Vios. Stay tuned as Drayber was the first in Cebu to shoot and drive it — full highlight details video coming soon!

Big moves from inDrive in Cebu!

The global ride-hailing app is setting up its first regional hub in the Visayas—right here in Cebu City. Just months after launching, they’ve already onboarded 1,400+ drivers and are now building a 903 sqm facility with support services, a basketball court, and more. With a game-changing 5% commission rate, this is a huge win for local drivers.

Driver-first, people-powered. This is the kind of progress we like to see.

BYD Cebu Goes Full Throttle ⚡

History was made yesterday as BYD Cebu launched three showrooms in one day —
📍 Ayala Center Cebu
📍 IL Corso, Filinvest Malls, Central Piazza
📍 The country’s largest BYD dealership: BYD Cebu Central, J. de Veyra Street, North Reclamation Area

They didn’t stop there — they also broke ground in Minglanilla, with a new dealership set to rise in Tunghaan. This bold expansion shows BYD’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and bringing electric mobility closer to every Cebuano.

To power this forward, they also introduced their new EVRO App — your all-in-one tool for EV ownership — and announced plans for more charging stations nationwide within the year.

Cebu is ready.
The future is electric.
And at Drayber, we’re here for the ride. ⚡

Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205: The Rally-Bred Legacy

Today, I got behind the wheel of something truly special — the Celica ST205 GT-Four. Not just a car, but a time capsule. A portal to the era of turbocharged legends and the golden days of the Year of Imports.

This wasn’t just another JDM build. It was Toyota Team Europe’s secret weapon. Developed for the WRC under strict Group A homologation rules, only 2,500 of these were built. Under the hood? A turbocharged 3S-GTE engine, water-to-air intercooler, anti-lag system, and full-time AWD — tech that made it one of the most advanced rally cars of its time. So advanced, in fact, that Toyota got slapped with a one-year ban in 1995 for what the FIA called “the most sophisticated cheat” they’d ever seen. Even controversy couldn’t dim its brilliance.

But what makes this car even more iconic is its place in Toyota’s evolution. The Supra, now reborn under Gazoo Racing, traces its roots back to the Celica line. The earliest Supras were Celica Supras — and the performance focus, the motorsport involvement, the DNA — it all started here. The GT-Four was proof that Toyota could dominate not just the streets, but the stages and circuits too.

Driving it today to a shoot wasn’t just a job — it was an experience. Every boost, every gear change felt like flipping through the pages of a motorsport history book. It was raw, analog, and beautiful. Like driving a legend that time didn’t forget — and I got to be part of it, even just for a moment.
