The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
Gateway Motors Group extended its dealership of Hyundai vehicles all the way to its main hub in Cebu when they officially broke ground its upcoming showroom in Talisay recently together with the top officials of the Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. (HMPH).
Gateway Motors executive vice president Michael Goho welcomed last month the visiting Hyundai officials composed of HMPH president Dong Wook Lee and managing director Cecil Capacete. Also present were Gateway Group’s corporate secretary Estrella Goho and Hyundai brand head Glenn Teves.
Hyundai Cebu-Talisay will be HMPH’s newest addition to its roster of electric vehicle outlets, which will also carry the Hyundai Global Dealership Space Identity (GDSI) 2.0 that adheres to the brand’s direction towards a more customer-centric approach through various “experience segments” as one enters the showroom to inquire or test drive or pays a visit for service or repair. The dealership is expected to open its doors by the fourth quarter of 2024.
Cebu is considered as the main hub for commerce, education, tourism, and transportation in Visayas. It is one of the country’s largest metropolitan areas in which Talisay serves as a residential and trading center.
According to president Lee, Hyundai is determined to serve both old and new customers in this continuously developing region. “We are very fortunate that the Gateway Group share the same passion as us when it comes to mobility and the community at large. Cebuanos will soon have an even easier access to our sustainable and innovative cars, most especially the back-to-back World Car of The Year winners, the IONIQ 5 and 6. Not only that, we wish to make our presence more felt by existing Hyundai owners who are residing or working at this island through our expert aftersales care and genuine parts and accessories offers.”
