Chery Auto PH H1 Sales Rise 351 Percent In 2021
Driven by the competitive product lineup, first-in-the-industry aftersales services, and its rapidly expanding dealership network, vehicle sales of Chery Auto Philippines skyrocketed by a stunning 351 percent in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period last year.
Reflecting the consistency in the brand s performance, its June sales this year also shot up by an almost-similar 355 percent compared to June last year.
The growth reflects the warm reception of the Philippine market towards the all-new Chery Tiggo 7 Pro which comprises one-third (37 percent) of total Chery sales in the first six months of the year. Orders for July onwards project continuous sustained demand for the compact SUV.
Back in the early 2000s to the late 2010s, buying a Chinese car was like playing Russian Roulette, you didn’t know if the car you got was good or bad, mainly because a lot of these marques were on the younger side of the spectrum, meaning they were unproven in the market, and their products were likewise mechanically unproven and tested in the real world.
That was then, however, and a lot of the cars now are manufactured to a higher standard, with many cars being durable and reliable enough to go the distance while still maintaining their quality, and having parts readily available from the dealership. So the question is, are Chinese cars finally worth investing in and trusting in for the long haul? Here are a few reasons why it’s different now, compared to before.
