Hyundai has bolstered its presence in the Philippines with a salvo of releases in recent years. 

Some of the company’s most notable launches include the latest iteration of the Hyundai Santa Fe sport utility vehicle, which was raffled off by the brand’s local subsidiary for its recent promo. 

Of note, the Hyundai Santa Fe was awarded the highest honors by J.D. Power for its 2025 US Tech Experience Index. And since we are celebrating women’s month this March, it is also worth mentioning that the nameplate was declared “Supreme Winner” at the 2025 Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year Awards.

Other recently revived models include the Kona, Creta, and Palisade. 

The company also attracted new customers with more modern offerings like the Stargazer, and Elantra, as well as the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, and Ioniq 9. 

Aside from successive model launches, Hyundai Motor Philippines Incorporated also proved consistent when it comes to rolling out promos and other initiatives, such as the Hyundai Mobility Experience, its involvement in the 2025 G20 Leaders’ Summit, its partnership with the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, and its donation of two Elantra units to the Philippine National Police.
