Organizers of the awards recognized products and brands that improve the lives of modern families, with winners chosen based on their ability to meet the evolving needs of Filipino households. The SANTA FE Hybrid was named top choice for Best Family Car under the event’s Must-Haves category.
Hyundai built the SANTA FE Hybrid around the needs of modern families, combining space, comfort, safety, and efficiency in an SUV package. A longer wheelbase gives the vehicle class-leading interior space, providing comfort for passengers across all three rows. Second- and third-row seats fold fully flat, giving families added flexibility to maximize cargo capacity for road trips, outdoor activities, and everyday errands.
The SANTA FE Hybrid’s powertrain delivers efficient performance, and Hyundai SmartSense, which is the brand’s suite of advanced safety technologies, adds features including Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, and Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist. Hyundai positions these features as support for drivers on both daily commutes and long-distance trips.

Hyundai Motor Philippines President Byung Goo Ko and Product Planning & Marketing Coordinator Daihee Park accepted the award on behalf of the company.
“We are proud to accept this award for the SANTA FE Hybrid. It has always been a mainstay in our lineup, and we are happy that it is being recognized as a car that meets the changing needs of families today,” said Ko. “This award affirms our commitment to providing vehicles that deliver comfort, safety, innovation, and everyday versatility for our customers.”
