CHERY AUTO Philippines reported in a release that its vehicle sales in the first half of 2021 grew by a remarkable 351% compared to the same period last year. Its June figure also trended upward by 355% compared to June 2020.
“The growth reflects the warm reception of the Philippine market toward the all-new Chery Tiggo 7 Pro [which accounted for] 37% of total Chery sales in the first six months of the year. Launched just last January, the Tiggo 7 Pro posted June sales 160% higher than the previous month of May. Orders for July onwards project continuous sustained demand for the head-turning, high-performance turbocharged compact SUV,” said the company in a release.
The entry-level Chery Tiggo 2 comprised 33% of total sales, with the brand noting that it “(costs) less than many hatchbacks and subcompact sedans.” With a starting price of P695,000, the Tiggo 2 “presents a compelling proposition with its SUV space and versatility.” The crossover is also available in unique two-tone finishes and comes in manual and automatic transmission.
Said United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. (UAAGI) President Rommel Sytin, “We are buoyed by the strong interest and demand for our Chery Tiggo models, particularly the all-new Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 2. Together with the subcompact Tiggo 5X and the luxurious midsize flagship 7-seater Tiggo 8, they propel the brand’s vision of establishing Chery as the leading crossover brand in the Philippines.”
The company said it is continuing to grow its dealership network — currently 19 strong — “unprecedented for a new brand that’s introduced only less than two years ago.” Chery is said to be continuing to scout unserved areas through the metropolis and the rest of the country.
Chery boasts an industry-leading warranty and preventive maintenance service (PMS) program, which features a 10-year/one-million-km engine warranty, five-year general warranty, three-year roadside assistance, and a free full PMS for three years.
