Hyundai Motor Philippines brings the Korean brand back to PH market | Visor

Hyundai Asia Resources Inc. (HARI)—it will be in charge of distributing the brand’s commercial vehicles (trucks and buses), while HMPH will focus on the passenger cars.

This July, expect to see the Creta (a B-segment crossover), the new Tucson, the Staria, the Santa Fe and the Palisade entering our market, followed by a brand-new MPV model that will compete with the likes of the Toyota Avanza and the Mitsubishi Xpander next year.

The Creta and the new MPV will be sourced from Hyundai’s Indonesia plant, while the other models will be coming from Korea. Finally, the Reina subcompact sedan will be axed, and the Venue will now come from India.

the brand will skip hybrid models and go straight to full EVs, like the Ioniq 5. But expect to wait for a bit, as the manufacturer is still conducting a feasibility study and waiting for the country’s infrastructure to catch up once the EV law comes into full effect.

Expect also other mobility solutions, as well as the possibility of the luxury-oriented Genesis and the performance-oriented N nameplate.

Jumping to EV is stupid, they should offer hybrids imo.

if the technology is there, why not jump?

agree. they should stick with pure EVs and cater a very niche local market

its tough to buy a non-Toyota hybrid right now
tough to compete with the reasonably priced mild-hybrid Chinese cars

best chance they have is to compete with Nissan and BYD
