Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. (HMPH) is setting a bold new course in the country’s automotive landscape with the unveiling of three forward-thinking vehicles: the all-new PALISADE Hybrid, the flagship IONIQ 9 electric SUV, and the newly enhanced IONIQ 5. Each model represents a significant stride in the brand’s commitment to offering Filipino motorists sustainable mobility that doesn’t compromise on power, comfort, or design.
A New Standard in Premium Hybrids: The All-New PALISADE Hybrid
Leading Hyundai’s next-generation lineup is the all-new PALISADE Hybrid—a 7-seater SUV that balances rugged presence with refined luxury. Its updated exterior features 21-inch alloy wheels, wide-projection LED headlamps, and a bold, aerodynamic silhouette. Under the hood, a 2.5L turbo hybrid engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission delivers a commanding 334 PS, offering dynamic performance with improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
Inside, the PALISADE Hybrid is built for comfort and connectivity. From power and ventilated seats across the first and second rows to fingerprint-recognition for engine start and infotainment, this SUV is as intelligent as it is indulgent. The 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, Head-Up Display, and BOSE premium sound system make every drive immersive, while Hyundai SmartSense technologies—including Reverse Parking Collision Avoidance Assist and Side Parking Distance Warning—ensure top-tier safety.
Priced at PHP3,980,000.00 and available in four elegant colors, the PALISADE Hybrid redefines what it means to drive premium, sustainable, and future-ready.
The Flagship Electric SUV: Meet the IONIQ 9
Taking center stage in Hyundai’s electric revolution is the IONIQ 9, a full-sized all-electric SUV designed for families and forward-thinkers. Combining the presence of an SUV with the aerodynamic efficiency of a sedan, the IONIQ 9’s cube projection headlights, digital mirrors, and sleek profile make a futuristic impression at first glance.
Underneath, it’s powered by a 110.3kWh battery that delivers an impressive 600km of all-electric range. Charging is equally efficient, with fast-charging technology capable of recharging the battery in just 24 minutes. Multi-Terrain Control ensures performance across varied road conditions, while both interior and exterior V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) functions let users power external devices or appliances from the car itself.
Inside the cabin, the IONIQ 9 boasts a 6-seater layout with relaxation seats, a panoramic curved infotainment display, a BOSE sound system, and even a built-in dashcam. With Hyundai SmartSense safety systems and ten airbags, the IONIQ 9 is engineered to protect as much as it inspires.
This flagship E-SUV is priced at PHP4,580,000.00 and is offered as a made-to-order model with up to 39 color combinations for personalized luxury.
The Enhanced Icon: IONIQ 5 Reimagined
Rounding out the trio is the updated IONIQ 5—Hyundai’s award-winning electric crossover that now comes with a host of upgrades. A new front bumper and redesigned alloy wheels boost its aerodynamic profile, while added features such as digital side mirrors and a rear wiper improve functionality and design.
Under the surface, the IONIQ 5 now delivers up to 530km of electric range and a peak output of 229PS. Inside, a V2L system allows passengers to plug in and power devices directly from the car. Additional safety enhancements expand the Hyundai SmartSense suite to include features like Reverse Parking Collision Avoidance Assist and Side Parking Distance Warning.
The upgraded IONIQ 5 is available in three variants, with prices ranging from PHP 2,840,000.00 to PHP3,698,000.00. Like the IONIQ 9, it offers made-to-order customization, with nine exterior and four interior colors that yield up to 36 unique combinations.
