Tinalo na talaga ng MG Ph ang Geely Ph...
ReplyDeleteTama! Old generation models na ang sa Geely aside sa previous na aftersales issues. Unlike MG introducing new models including hybrids/EVs. Pag kinuha na ng Geely main corporate and pag manage ng Geely Phils baka maka bawi.
DeleteSales of MG are only high as it still sells outdated and unchanged 5 to 6 year old vehicles like the ancient MG5 and MG ZS Style/Alpha that are very affordable and heavily cash discounted
DeleteMG Philippines is slowly phasing out the MG ZS Style and MG ZS Alpha in favor of the recently released MG ZS Comfort and Lux variants which are a bit expensive but well equipped.
MG5 is much cheaper and value for money than the Wigo and Vios that's why its still selling well though MG Philippines plans to also heavily update it too..Other MG vehicles like the MG One and Marvel R are slow sellers.
MG5 not value for money, its old, not reliable, not durable, will cost you more later on maintenance and repair, has almost junk resale value, as a bonus you will got a lot of head aches and stress.
DeleteThousands of MG5 owners in the Philippines are very satisfied with their very reliable and affordable value for money vehicles that they've bought and owned.
DeleteMG5 is a much better buy than the DNGA Wigo and 11 year old Vios J
For sure Kia will rise in ranking again next month with the introduction and sales of Sonet. VW Phils how sad that you are just contented to stay at the bottom list for how many years now "consistent kayo kumbaga" wala na bang iba?
ReplyDeleteYou're concerned too much about the sales of Volkswagen Philippines as if you can afford their vehicles.
DeleteVolkswagen Philippines is waiting for the new line of affordable Volkswagen EVs made in China which are gonna be introduced around next year
5.83% Despite so many brands and dealerships. it seems china car brands hit a wall of reliability issues and just eating each others market share.
ReplyDeleteChinese are selling their junk, their overproduced cars in the Philippines.
ReplyDeleteAs if you can afford one KC 🤣
DeleteJust stick with your father's Wigo,Avanza and Raize
Just my opinion. I think the Koreans are in a dangerous position. Unlike the Japanese who has build supply chains across SEA, the Korean cars are comparatively more expensive to build. The Chinese cars on the other hand are sure to make greater inroads if they price 10 to 20pct below the Japanese
ReplyDeleteBest selling Korean vehicles in the Philippine market are mostly made in China and Indonesia 🤣 Hyundai is gonna sell a made in Vietnam Accent Sedan later this year
DeleteMade in Korea EVs are still super expensive that's why EVs from BYD are outselling it
Sales and marketing of Geely is gonna improve a lot starting next month once the officials from Geely China started taking over the local distribution and operations business of Geely vehicles in the Philippine market
ReplyDeleteGeely will continue to sell the same vehicle lineup and give away the same huge cash discounts
Geely is finding a way to sell the updated export market versions of Starray and New Okavango with 1.5 liter turbocharged engines in the Philippine market in order to make it mor affordable as the current export market units of those SUVs are only available in 2 liter gasoline engine variants.
