Hyundai Brings Home “The Perfect Partner”

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Finding a lifetime partner is hard. It starts with dreaming about “The One”, followed by moments of reflection. “Will I be happy?” “Is this for the long term?”

Some bend their own criteria just to fill the void in their lives. Others choose to wait some more for The One who fits the mold.

Well, the long wait is over. Hyundai Asia Resources Inc., the Philippines’ official distributor of Hyundai passenger and commercial vehicles, proudly introduces their internationally-acclaimed subcompact SUV, the Hyundai Creta at the 2017 Manila International Auto Show. Finally, all those years of wishing for the perfect mobility partner of your dreams are worth it.

The Hyundai Creta’s reputation in the Philippines has preceded itself with people inquiring about its availability even before official launch. And we can’t blame those who have fallen head over heels with it, for Hyundai designed it to possess “strength and beauty, inside and out.”

Bigger & Stronger

Even those who don’t care about vital statistics (or specifications!) will be smitten with the Hyundai Creta.  The legroom and headroom are simply to die for and are far more superior to its rivals’.

Its comfortable interiors didn’t compromise the exteriors either. Its body structure is built with Ultra High Strength Steel (UHSS) and Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS), a by-product of pure unadulterated Hyundai engineering.  It is like having a partner who is devoted to keeping you pampered and protected in all your travels.    

   

Options, options, options.

Relationships are like adventures.  It is important to be with someone who is willing to go all the way, without bailing out or falling short. 

The Hyundai Creta lets you enjoy more freedom in choosing from three (3) variants that are perfect for your life’s journeys. The 1.6L 6-speed gasoline manual transmission performs best for those who crave for the racing feel of a stick-shift. The 1.6L 6-speed gasoline automatic transmission provides high-precision responses and pleasurable drive. The 1.6L 6-speed diesel manual transmission combines responsiveness and fuel economy. However you want it, there is a Creta for you.

Style & Substance

Akin to a good catch, the Hyundai Creta commands respect and admiration with superior performance that’s harmonious to its appearance.

One glance at the smoothly creased hood lines, voluminous bumper, charismatic, aircraft-inspired Three Slat Hexagonal Chrome Grille, 16” alloy wheels and sloping roof profile (that reduces air flow resistance), you can already tell that the Hyundai Creta is the ride that will lead you to your happily ever after.

On a global level, the Hyundai Creta has been stealing hearts in other countries and is certain to do the same in the Philippines. It continues to leave a trail of awards and recognition in India where it was hailed as the “Best-selling SUV of 2016” and the “2016 Indian Car of the Year.”

The Hyundai Creta is now open for reservations at the following SRPs: Php918,000 for 1.6li MT; Php988,000 for the 1.6li AT; and Php1,038,000 for the 1.6li MT Diesel variant.

A Hyundai Revolution at MIAS 2017

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Following its phenomenal comeback and grand launch of the nationwide brand campaign, “Ang Gusto Mo, Gusto ng Puso,” at last year’s Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI), official distributor of Hyundai vehicles in the Philippines, returns to MIAS this year with another fresh take on customer-driven innovation.

“Gusto,” inspired, conceived, and driven by the Filipino customer’s dreams, needs, and values, now gets a 360-degree spin with Gusto Ko, Kaya Ko, Sama Tayo, crowning Hyundai’s 16 years as the Filipino’s lifetime partner in mobility and beyond.

With a brilliant track record of having introduced products and services that revolutionized the local automotive Industry, HARI is out to beat its own record by driving new value into the current landscape.

Headlining the Hyundai “Gusto Revolution” is the launch of the inspirational and aspirational “Pagsundo,” the Hyundai Gusto anthem, composed and performed by Up Dharma Down; the introduction of the Hyundai Creta and Genesis G90; the official launch of the Hyundai Assembly Center, featuring the rollout of the first locally assembled units of EON and H350; and the kickoff of the First Hyundai Innovation Congress (ICON).

In addition, MIAS guests will get a more heightened experience of Hyundai’s renewed commitment to be part of each and every customer journey via interactive activities with the One Hyundai Club (OHC), the industry’s pioneering distributor-based customer loyalty program, now re-branded as the new and more expansive One Hyundai Family (OHF); and seamless connection with HARI and its dealership network via the Hyundai mobile app. 

New Models: Creta, Genesis G90

Hailed as “The Perfect SUV”, the Hyundai Creta has been making waves in other countries and was awarded as the “Best-selling SUV of 2016” and the “2016 Indian Car of the Year.” Designed to have “strength and beauty, inside and out,” The Creta boasts of better passenger space and increased leg room, making it tower over its rivals, literally and figuratively.

The Genesis G90 is the flagship model of Genesis Motors, the luxury vehicle division of the Hyundai Motor Company. Boasting of design inspired by the moment an archer draws the bow to unleash a perfectly balanced tension that propels an arrow at its target, the G90 exudes athletic elegance derived from this fusion of power and poise.

There’s always room for all with the Hyundai H350. The H350 belongs to Hyundai’s lineup of commercial vehicles, making it the new trend leader in the CV market. Aside from its versatility (the H350 can be configured into a cargo van, a passenger van or a flatbed truck), the H350’s spacious cabin, clear visibility, and supreme car-like comfort makes it the prime choice for those who desire excellent passenger mobility for their customers.

Hyundai Assembly Center

The long-awaited rise of the first Hyundai Assembly Center in the Philippines located in Calamba, Laguna, heralds the advancement of Hyundai brand presence in the region. This new investment by Hyundai Motor Company (HMC), on its 50th year and its 15th year of solid partnership with HARI, signifies the Korean auto giant’s solid confidence in the Philippine market and the current business climate by choosing the country as its potential gateway to the ASEAN. 

First Hyundai Innovation Congress (ICON)

With the kickoff of the First Hyundai Innovation Congress, “Harnessing Accessible and Responsive Innovation,” HARI brings the Hyundai philosophy of “innovation for humanity” closer to the hearts, homes, and businesses of the Filipino.

ICON engages leaders from government and the private sector in a dialogue that would spark the creation of do-able measures to drive the culture of innovation across businesses and industries. Topics include: “Unlocking Keys to Innovation Excellence,” “Future-proofing Innovation,” “Advancing Innovation-based ASEAN,” and “Disruptive Shift in the Automotive Industry.”

Explains Ms. Agudo, “We launched Gusto with the idea of aspiration, of listening to what our customers need and want. Now we take a step further with Kaya Ko, because we actually have and continue to respond to the hearts of our customers. From there, we take our shared journey forward: Sama Tayo because, together, we achieve the success that we seek--for ourselves, for the economy, for the nation. I think that is what being the most beloved brand and trusted partner of Filipinos is about.”
