Hyundai Motor Philippines (HMPH) has gone all-in, introducing a slew of new and refreshed cars to coincide with the company’s relaunch and the appointment of a new distributor for its passenger car portfolio.

Conclusion

To shake up the market and attract customers, HMPH is employing aggressive measures. An important part of this project is a national service advertising and warranty program that highlights the companies’ improved after-sales support. By 2023, the firm plans to expand its dealer network from 38 to 45 in order to serve more clients.

To increase the variety of cars offered by HMPH, the Palisade and Ioniq 5, the latter of which is an all electric vehicle, will be added. This highlights HMPH’s commitment to a varied vehicle lineup and its willingness to include market-driven innovation.

Due to CAMPI’s shared vision of working with important stakeholders for the benefit of the entire motoring industry, HMPH is also in the process of switching from the Association of Vehicle Importers and Distributors Inc (AVID) to its rival auto group Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc (CAMPI).
