At the recently concluded 2025 Manila International Auto Show, Hyundai Motor Philippines (HMPH) got people on notice by bringing back a beloved nameplate, the Elantra sedan, amidst a saturated market full of crossovers and electrified vehicles.
If you are one of those excited to try out the latest generation of the sedan or the rest of Hyundai’s offerings, you can head on over to the 2025 Auto Focus Summer Multi-Brand Test Drive Festival happening from May 8 to 11, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM at Block 16, SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, Pasay City.
For those interested in what variants of the all-new Elantra will be available to test drive, these are the N Line, Hybrid, and the GL.
The N Line exclusively has a turbocharged 1.6-liter gasoline engine mated to a seven-speed dry-type dual-clutch transmission that pushes out 204 horsepower and 265 Nm to the front wheels, alongside an N-inspired body kit, 18-inch alloy wheels, and sport bucket seats inside, to name a few.
Meanwhile, the Hybrid comes with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine mated to an electric motor for a combined power output of 141 horsepower and 147 Nm, but this variant has the benefits of an electrified drivetrain, such as efficiency and a more refined driving experience.
Finally, the standard GL brings a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 128 horsepower and 155 Nm, delivering everything that buyers will want out of a sedan at an affordable price point.
Alongside these three Elantra variants, customers can see and experience the latest Santa Fe Hybrid SUV, the Tucson Hybrid crossover, the family-oriented Stargazer X MPV, and the luxurious Staria and Custin vans.
Customers and event-goers can experience the cars either through a test drive track within the vicinity of the test-drive festival or via an on-road, real-life route along Seaside Boulevard. To do this, all you have to do is simply register at the Hyundai booth, choose your desired vehicle, and wait for your turn. Also, you can beat the heat beat the heat of the day with free drinks and Hyundai-branded accessories.
As for customers who place on-site reservations for any Hyundai during the event, they receive a free bag made in partnership with local brand Knowell PH, and as part of the brand’s vision of “Progress for Humanity”, HMPH will be donating one bag to a chosen foundation for every bag redeemed this weekend.
Apart from that, event-exclusive freebies await, alongside a Php 10,000 voucher for those who reserve any trim of the Creta and Stargazer. Admission to the event and Hyundai booth is free, too.
