The event started at the Hyundai Cebu South dealership in Cebu City on February 15.

“During this drive, we would like to rediscover the City of Cebu and fall in love again with the Hyundai Creta and Hyundai Stargazer,” said Cecil Capacete, Managing Director of Hyundai Motor Philippines, Inc., before the start of the event.

The Stargazer is a seven-seater MPV that sports a futuristic design and offers versatility that MPVs are known for, which is why it is among the vehicles expected to shine for Hyundai.

The Creta, on the other hand, is a stylish crossover that is also expected to be a volume seller because of its athletic features.

Members of the media then took turns driving the Stargazer and the Creta in a route that included the famous winding roads of the Transcentral Highway that connects eastern and western Cebu.

The roads in this highway include tough climbs and sharp curves but the Creta and the Stargazer did not disappoint, handling the steep climbs well despite the foggy weather.
