Hyundai Asia Resources Inc., the official distributor of Hyundai vehicles in the Philippines, said sales in June increased 9 percent to 3,203 vehicles from 2,952 units in the same month last year.
This pushed total sales in the first half to 17,364 units, up 6 percent from 16,362 units delivered a year ago.
“Hari’s aggressive growth in the first half of 2017 is a strong testament to the impact we have set in the hearts of the Filipino people. A responsive automotive market, together with our high-quality, best-in-class, and customer-focused products and services, keep us on track for another record-breaking year,” said Hari president and chief executive Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo.
HARI’s favorable performance was attributed to the passenger cars segment performance that grew by 7 percent from 11,207 units in the first half of 2016 to 12,037 units in the same period of 2017. June sales was 13 percent higher to 2,269 units from 2,014 units a year ago.
Sales of Accent, which brand’s top-selling nameplate, reached 7,711 units in the first half, said Agudo.
Light commercial vehicles’ sales also improved 3 percent to 5,327 units.
