More than boosting your status quotient, investing in your own car has become a necessity in these uncertain times. It comes in handy for quick or unplanned trips, most specially, emergencies; and saves you on time since you run on your own schedule.

The New Normal lifestyle poses new day-to-day challenges and expenses that urge you to think thrice (or more) before making that big spend. Yes, you know what you want… but can you afford it?

Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI), the official Philippine distributor of Hyundai passenger cars and commercial vehicles doesn’t want you to make tough compromises. There’s always one in its model lineup that will give you better journeys.

The Hyundai Reina fits the bill for first-time car buyers.

This subcompact stunner is bang for your buck, being counted among the country’s top vehicle choices below the million-peso price tag that doesn’t compromise on style, space, safety, and power.

Fashioned with Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design, its urban elegance is reminiscent of the Hyundai Modern Premium pedigree.

It’s spacious and can comfortably fit up to five—well, nowadays, three. The ample 2,570 mm wheelbase gives driver and passengers the right room for comfort, while the generous trunk space can store up to 475 liters of cargo.

Under the hood is a 1.4-liter gasoline engine with dynamic power of 95 horspower for quicker maneuverability in and around the city. It’s mated to either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission, offering a more versatile and convenient driving experience.

And it has important safety features such as dual airbags that provide significant occupant protection for the driver and front passenger and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) that gives you better control on slippery roads, now that the rains are here.

What’s more, the Reina is one of Hyundai’s first offerings on LazMall and on HARI’s very own Hyundai Online Market Experience (HOME). Both options have received positive reviews for the promise of a safe, convenient, and secure shopping experience from the comfort of home.

The Reina brings together the elements of design, convenience, space, performance, and safety to bring excitement to your daily drive.
