Customer satisfaction is the top priority of HMPH, which is why it seeks to expand its dealer network from 38 to 45 by 2023 with all of its vehicles coming with a five-year/200,000km warranties. Its online customer service program, Hyundai Live, will be launched in September to make the brand more accessible to customers.

Also, HMPH is in the process of transferring from the Association of Vehicle Importers and Distributors (AVID) to the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines (CAMPI) because of the common goal of HMPH and CAMPI of cooperating with key stakeholders to benefit the motoring industry.

“Hyundai Motor Philippines has been working on rebuilding the brand to provide excellent customer experience through the launch of a broad range of new, innovative and exciting product lineup in the Philippine market,” said Lee Dong Wook, president of HMPH.

This looks like HMPH is on a good start as the company will be joining the Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) this September and the 10th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit (PEVS) in October, and will be introducing the Stargazer, the Palisade and the Ioniq 5 to the market this year.
