The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
The Autohub Group of Companies has signified its close collaboration with the Luxuriant Automotive Group with the recent opening of its two dealerships solely for the Great Wall Motors and two more soon in the southern part of Luzon.
Recently opened both on the same day last week were the GWM PTX Makati and the GWM Sta. Rosa in Laguna with the officials of the two companies in attendance. Autohub was led by its president Willy Tee-Ten while Luxuriant has president and general manager Ruben Tan and EVP Joseph Lim.
According to Tee-Ten, soon to be opened will be the Canlubang and Dasmarinas dealerships, in which one of them will serve as the main hub for parts and work station.
“We are very much positive that GWM will become one of the popular brands soon here in the country. We have seen its growth exponentially in China and in some part of Asia because of its reliable lineup of vehicles being introduced in the market today. We are lining up the opening of our two more GWM dealerships soon in Canlubang and Dasmarinas,” said Tee-Ten.
For his part, Ruban Tan said: “Luxuriant Automotive Group, Inc. has been working on top-priority to boost GWM Philippines performance in the midst of continuous Chinese brands entering the Philippines, as well as the abrupt changes in the global business environment surrounding the automotive industry. This is to strengthen the structure of our automotive business and to further increase the speed of business transformation for future generations.”
The GWM now has five major vehicles currently in the market and they are the lifestyle hybrid vehicles Haval, the commercial and individual workhorse Cannon, the specialized luxury offroad SUVs Tank, and the full electric Ora and the top-of-the-line plug-in hybrid MPV Wey. These five brands have multiple models such as the Jolion, H6 HEV, Cannon and Pilot Series, Tank 300, Ora 03, and the soon-to-come Wey GaoShan PHEV and the long awaited H9.
GWM Philippines is giving its full support to the dealers providing excellent gold standards such as a 5-star ANCAP across all GWM models as well as a 7-year bumper to bumper warranty, 8-year battery warranty, and a 10-year powertrain warranty.
