Aito M9 Ultra REEV (2025) vs Hyundai IONIQ 5 GLS 2WD Long Range (2026): which should you buy?
For a Filipino buyer weighing cost against performance, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 GLS 2WD Long Range is the more sensible choice for most daily drivers. Priced at ₱3.70 million, it costs less than half of the Aito M9 Ultra REEV’s ₱6.36 million price tag, yet still offers a respectable 229 PS and 350 Nm of torque, sufficient for typical city and highway use. Its 5‑year/200,000 km warranty also exceeds the Aito’s 3‑year/100,000 km coverage, providing longer peace of mind. The IONIQ 5’s midsize crossover dimensions (4655 mm L × 1800 mm W × 1605 mm H) and 5‑door layout give it a practical footprint for Filipino roads and parking spaces, while the Aito’s premium Crossover SUV body and 2+2+2 seating suggest a focus on sportier, less family‑oriented use. The Aito’s turbocharged 1.5‑L inline‑4 PHEV delivers a massive 489 PS and 675 Nm, and its AWD system adds traction, but these gains come at a steep price and a shorter warranty. If you need top‑tier power, AWD and are willing to invest heavily, the Aito fits a niche enthusiast or executive seeking a high‑performance hybrid SUV. Otherwise, the Hyundai offers better value, adequate power, longer warranty, and a more conventional size for everyday Filipino driving.
