HARI credits the confluence of strong economic growth, competitive auto loan rates, and low inflation as the main drivers of its success in the local automotive scene; a success which the brand will soon celebrate as it reaches its 15th year of serving the Filipino car buyers.

“HARI will continue to move forward in taking the Hyundai brand into the hearts of the Filipinos. Rest assured that we will only deliver best-in-class products and services to our customers. Basta gusto mo, kaya mo. Sama tayo,” Said Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo, HARI President and CEO
