BYD PH inaugurates new Quezon Avenue dealership

BYD Philippines, now under the distributorship of AC Motors, the automotive arm Ayala Corporation, and through AC Motors subsidiary Mobility Access Philippines Ventures, Inc. (MAPVI), is moving fast in growing its presence in the local market.

Just a few weeks after announcing a change of management, the Chinese automaker has officially inaugurated its new flagship and largest dealership in the country, BYD Quezon Avenue, located in the largest city of Metro Manila.

The new BYD Quezon Avenue is owned and operated by Solar Transport and Automotive Resources, Inc. (STAR), the former distributor of the brand in the country. It is located at 719 Quezon Avenue corner Gregorio Araneta Avenue, Quezon City.

At around 4,000 sqm in size, the new dealership facility is the brand’s largest facility ever since it first entered the market many years ago. It features a large showroom that can display all of the BYD electrified vehicle lineup, a customer lounge, and dedicated new-car release area. BYD Quezon Avenue is only the first of the 12 new dealers that are planned as part of the Chinese automaker’s expansion in the market within the next 12 months.

“The BYD Quezon Avenue flagship dealership is a testament to the strong partnership of AC Motors and Solar Transport, and our commitment to our valued customers to provide service that they can rely on,” says Mark Andrew Tieng, president and CEO of Solar Transport and Automotive Resources Corp. “We can assure our clients that each BYD EV will have access to exceptional after-sales service and support, including an extensive battery warranty coverage of 8 years or 150,000 kilometers. The company’s trained mechanics are dedicated to providing reliable customer service, and with the aggressive global expansion efforts and government-backed incentives taking place, BYD owners in the Philippines can expect peace of mind, reliable specialists, and a seamless ownership experience.”

“The opening of BYD’s first flagship store in the Philippines not only illustrates the importance BYD attaches to the Philippine market, but also is an important step for BYD to deepen its localization in the Philippines, as BYD joins hands with its partners to practice the goal of low-carbon and green life with practical actions. This is a brand new starting point,” said James Ng, General Manager of BYD Philippines and BYD Singapore
