BAIC PH to open 8 dealerships, secures partners

Following the marque’s reintroduction in the country some two months back, BAIC (Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Company Limited) Philippines was able to secure eight partners that will immediately open dealerships in key areas nationwide.

Per the Chinese automaker’s new local arm, the partners have signed up and are ready to commence sales operations next month. They are:

• ANGs Automotive Group (Iloilo)
• Angcore Motor Group (Davao)
• AutoSpeedyGo Group (Marilao)
• Automotive Icon Incorporated (Alabang)
• Autonomics Motor Corporation (Tuguegarao)
• Laus Auto Group (Pampanga)
• Magnet Motors (Cagayan De Oro)
• Oro Autoworld (Zamboanga)

According to the United Asia Automotive Group Incorporated (UAAGI)-led automotive distributor, the on-boarding of the aforementioned automotive groups serves as a “testament to the trust and confidence extended” towards the marque and its new official distributor in the country.

"We are excited to mark this new growth in UAAGI’s nationwide dealership network and we acknowledge the support of our roster of distinguished BAIC Philippines dealer partners,” UAAGI Chairman Rommel Sytin was quoted as saying.

“UAAGI and its dealers are positioned to introduce the BAIC brand to the Filipino motoring public with its impressive SUV lineup and advanced technology paired with UAAGI’s brand of specialized customer service," he added.

Joining Sytin in the signing ceremonies were Group Managing Director Froilan Dytianquin, Chief Marketing Executive Lyn Manalansang-Buena, and BAIC Brand Head and General Manager Christopher David Yu.

"Having eight major dealer groups commit to our new brand is certainly an auspicious start for BAIC and UAAGI. We can't wait for Filipinos to experience firsthand the characteristics and capabilities of our world-class SUV models," Dytianquin shared.

Displayed at the Manila International Auto Show 2024 last month, BAIC Philippines’ initial lineup is made up of the B40 Ragnar, B60 Beaumont, B80 Wagon, X55 Verve, and X7 Grandeza.

Aside from contemporary styling and modern technologies, BAIC Philippines said that the models in its roster are packaged with a five-year warranty.
