“Our vision is ‘Progress for Humanity’ because we are dedicated to understanding what people want in life. For us it’s not about going from A to B, it’s about creating time for the moments that truly matter. This is what we hope for our Filipino customers to experience when they own a Hyundai,” said Dongwook Lee, president of Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. “We are excited to hit the ground running and give Filipinos access to our award-winning smart technologies, advanced safety, and driver-assist systems and of course our new ‘sensuous sportiness’ design philosophy in our range of passenger cars.”
The Korean brand also launched the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Test Drive Promo featuring the new Creta. Driven by Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) and extended to its global markets, the contest was born out of its Goal of the Century (GOTC) pledge which takes inspiration from how the sport of football becomes a catalyst that ignites team spirit and togetherness among its players and fans. “We are committed to expanding our role beyond the transportation sector. As the 3rd largest car manufacturer globally, we wish to become a mobility solution provider who will take the lead in creating a sustainable future for generations to come through ‘Goal of the Century, our call towards a climate-positive tomorrow,” said Lee.
Full mechanics, terms, and conditions are found here. By test driving the new Creta, Filipinos not only get to contribute to global sustainability but also have the opportunity to fly to Qatar in the latter part of the year to watch a match at the FIFA World Cup.
