Made available in February 2019, the subcompact Hyundai Reina sedan of Hyundai Philippines has been selling pretty well, thanks to its affordable pricing and solid specs.
At P638k starting price, the Hyundai Reina with 1.4-liter engine beats most of its competition while featuring important safety goodies and sporty design. The front grille shares some aesthetics with the 2019 Hyundai Accent with the taillights and rear end coming from the refined design of the older Accent.
