Here’s Hyundai’s new PH lineup + pricing, features

If you’ve been following the story of the Hyundai brand in the Philippines for the past few months then you probably already know that the brand is set to be relaunched in the coming weeks under a new distributor, Hyundai Motor Philippines (HMPH).

While the new company has already revealed and shown-off its upcoming lineup, composed of the refreshed Santa Fe; all-new Staria and Tucson; new Creta; and the Venue, to its dealers during a recently held conference, there were a few questions as to what specifications and equipment these new models will have, and how much they will cost.

With the relaunch expected to be in just a few weeks, it’s not surprising how so much information has found its way online and we’ve gathered them right here for you.

Creta

The first model in our list, alphabetically, is the all-new Creta which will come in four variants. This will be the brand’s subcompact crossover offering, slotting just below the Tucson in the local lineup. All four variants will be powered by a 1.5L Smartstream G petrol engine that produces 115 hp and 144 Nm of torque, paired to a 6-speed manual transmission or Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT).

Among its equipment, depending on the variant are halogen or LED headlights, daytime running lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, rear spoiler, fabric or leatherette seats, and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
