The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
Sojitz G Auto Philippines Corporation (SGAP) achieved a whopping total of 15,000 sales to mark its third year in the Philippine automotive market as it intensified its efforts in making its presence felt by more and more Filipino car buyers.
Geely closed out September by registering its highest sales record of 1,112 units which surpassed the 1,058 unit sales recorded in July. The Coolray, the top-seller at 654 units sold in September, proves to show that the Coolray remains to be the brand’s best-selling model.
Geely Philippines’ significant sales achievement year by year paved the way for the young brand to reach its 15,000 sales milestone in just 3 years. From January to September 2022, Geely PH has registered an accumulated sale of 7,311 units which represents a remarkable 92% increase growth year on year compared to last year.
Geely participated in 2 major motoring events in the Philippines — the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) and recent the Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) which was organized by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines (CAMPI).
SGAP President & CEO Yugo Kiyofuji has expressed his appreciation on the recent approval of its membership with the CAMPI saying that “it is a clear testament that the Geely is a brand going from strength to strength, as supported by its growing customer base and dealer network”.
Geely highlighted its existing models such as the Coolray, Okavango, Emgrand, and the Azkarra. With these 4 models, Geely was able to provide Filipino car buyers their need for vehicles with exciting styling, advanced technology and safety, and more importantly top quality.
At present, Geely has 34 dealerships all over the country and more facilities will be opened soon as it targets a total of 40 outlets.
“Not only limited to the quantity of the dealers, but we are shifting more towards to improve the quality of the dealers to satisfy the customers even more, especially in the aftersales area. Backed up with Geely global strategy as well as what we do to cope with the customers’ needs in the Philippines, I am very much excited with what the future holds for Geely in the Philippine market,” Kiyofuji said.
