Suzuki Philippines concludes Q1 with solid growth
SUZUKI Philippines (SPH), the country’s pioneer compact car distributor, finishes the first quarter of the year with flying colors, posting the highest year-to-date (YTD) vehicle sales increase in the entire local automotive industry.
Achieving 21.4 percent YTD sales growth in March, SPH strengthens its presence in the market and sets its sight on continued uptick in the months to come. It hopes to continue moving up the industry sales charts after taking the top 6 position in local automobile sales, a step up from its seventh rank in the first quarter of 2017.
The consistently strong performance of the company’s top-selling vehicles in recent months, particularly the Ertiga, Celerio and Vitara models, contributed largely to the robust increase in sales for the first quarter.
The well-loved family vehicle Ertiga continues to be the best-selling Suzuki vehicle with 33 percent share of sales. The 7-seater vehicle is designed to provide comfort with maximized accommodation capacity.
Celerio, the Best Value-for-Money awardee in the standard mini category in last year’s Auto Focus People’s Choice Awards (AFMCA), ranks second in terms of Suzuki sales with a 13 percent share. The hatchback features a 1-liter engine and a light compact design, delivering power and efficiency for a fun and versatile drive.
With a 12 percent sales share, the recently launched Vitara, becomes a Suzuki best-seller. The 2017 CAGI Car of the Year awardee under the Subcompact Crossover Category boasts of strong personalization features in its stylish design.
Earlier this month, Suzuki Philippines participated for the first time at the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) 2018. Best-selling and award-winning Suzuki models Vitara, Ciaz and Ertiga were displayed and to celebrate the inaugural participation of Suzuki in MIAS, the soon-to-launch all-new Dzire with Auto Gear Shift (AGS) technology upgrade was also put on display.
