With the vehicle now being manufactured and sold in Vietnam, HMPH may be planning to take advantage of the ASEAN Free Trade to price the Accent competitively. Combined with the fact that Vietnam is a left-hand drive market, the automaker can easily ship the vehicle to the Philippines.
But isn't HMPH currently focused on the crossover and MPV segments? Well, our insider recently shared with us that the automaker wants to introduce more budget-friendly models to attract customers. While they already have the Creta as their entry-level model, the B-SUV now starts at PHP 1.048 million which doesn't exactly make it affordable., the top five automakers in the country are Toyota, Mitsubishi, Ford, Nissan, and Suzuki.
Should the company bring back the Grand i10, the budget hatchback will likely get a 1.2-liter Kappa II four-cylinder engine that makes 83 PS and 114 Nm of torque. Power is then shifted via a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Size-wise, the Grand i10 measures 3815mm long, 1680mm wide, 1520mm tall, and has a 2450mm wheelbase.
