When the first notes of your summer playlist kick in, there’s a sense of freedom that takes over — the kind that’s only heightened when you’re behind the wheel, cruising along an open road, feeling the breeze and the beat. When summer drives are all about movement and creating memories, the right car can amplify those moments, turning every ride into an experience.

The all-new Hyundai ELANTRA takes center stage at the 2025 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), making a striking return with a fresh, bold presence that perfectly captures the energy of the season. With advanced features, bold new design elements, and enhanced performance, this sedan is designed for those who want to own the moment every time they hit the road.

A Bold Comeback at MIAS 2025

Hyundai Motor Philippines (HMPH) made waves with the official reveal of the all-new ELANTRA at the 20th Manila International Auto Show. The event marked the return of one of Hyundai’s most beloved nameplates, a model that has consistently redefined what a sedan can offer. Leading the opening day presentation was Mr. Jiho Son, President of HMPH, who expressed the significance of this moment for the brand.

“All of these milestones continue to prove Hyundai’s greatness as a globally competitive brand. With Hybrid technology changing the automotive landscape worldwide, we believe that the launch of the all-new ELANTRA will set us on a path to continue evolving, innovating, and being more than just a mobility partner for Filipinos around the country,” Mr. Son shared during the presentation.

The 2025 ELANTRA takes things a step further with a fresh exterior that channels the Parametric Jewel Design, which gives the car a sharp, modern look. This year’s edition introduces the highly anticipated N Line trim — a first for the Philippines. This variant brings motorsport-inspired performance with the addition of a 1.6 Turbo engine, paired with a 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). The N Line also comes equipped with 18” alloy wheels, Paddle Shifters, and Sport Bucket Seats, offering an exhilarating driving experience for those who crave performance at every turn.

Engineered For Everyday

Alongside the N Line, the ELANTRA Hybrid Premium variant takes efficiency to the next level, featuring Hyundai’s advanced Hybrid technology. Powered by a 1.6 HEV engine, the ELANTRA Hybrid provides the perfect balance between power and fuel efficiency, making it an ideal choice for those who want to embrace a sustainable yet dynamic driving experience. Both the N Line and Hybrid variants come with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ensuring seamless connectivity for modern drivers, while the Wireless Smartphone Charger offers added convenience for those always on the go.

Both variants are also equipped with Hyundai SmartSense technology, which ensures optimal safety and peace of mind on the road.

From First Look to First Drive

Hyundai’s commitment to innovation isn’t limited to the car itself. To celebrate the launch of the all-new ELANTRA, HMPH is offering a special introductory promo. Customers who purchase any variant of the all-new ELANTRA will receive free Preventive Maintenance Service (PMS) for up to 2 years and fuel vouchers worth Php10,000 — a bonus for those ready to hit the road. This offer is available until May 31, 2025, giving you ample time to make a move.

At the 2025 MIAS, visitors had the chance to not only view the ELANTRA up close but also take a test drive. Other models on display included the TUCSON and SANTA FE Hybrid, along with the high-performance ELANTRA N. In partnership with local brand Knowell PH, Hyundai also offered customizable freebies at their booth, with one bag being donated to a chosen foundation for every free bag redeemed—a perfect blend of style and social responsibility.

The all-new Hyundai ELANTRA is a ride made for those who seize the day, commanding attention while staying ahead of the curve. Whether you’re driving through the city or out on an open road, the ELANTRA ensures you’ll own the moment.
