22-year-old student wins brand-new Hyundai Kona in Shell raffle

MANILA: A 22-year-old computer technology student took home a brand-new Hyundai Kona as his grand prize from Shell’s “Spin for Great Journeys” raffle promo that was conducted last December.

Julius Drey Latag decided to try his luck upon coming across a poster promoting the raffle at the Shell station along JP Laurel Highway in Lipa City, Batangas. When it was announced that he won the raffle, he could not believe that he would finally drive home a car that he would only see at Hyundai showrooms and in auto reviews.

“This is really my first car,” Latag said. “It’s new. It’s a real beauty, and I don’t want to have scratches on it!”

The globally acclaimed Hyundai Kona features a head-turning style, and a modern, cozy interior. It was recognized by different international award-giving bodies for its outstanding power, comfort, and safety features. The Kona is powered by a 2.0-liter Atkinson gasoline engine paired to a six-speed automatic transmission. Its Euro 4-compliant engine generates a maximum power output of 149ps at 6,200rpm and maximum torque of 18.3kg-m at 4,500rpm. The vehicle is made with 51.8% AHSS body that boosts its safety ratings in various crash tests in Europe and America.

With his new car, Latag is planning to take his dad and siblings on a road trip to Tagaytay. His brand-new Kona is prepared to give his family safe and smooth trips ahead.
