JMC PH opens Davao dealership

Astara Philippines has opened its first JMC (Jiangling Motors Corporation) dealership in Mindanao after inaugurating its Davao City outlet.

Highlighting the Chinese marque’s commitment to serve more customers across the Philippines, the newly-opened JMC Davao City is situated within the Farma Auto Supply Compound at Kilometer 13 in Panacan.

“This new dealership ensures that our customers in Davao City can easily see and experience the latest JMC vehicles, including businesses looking for greater value for money in their fleets,” JMC Philippines Sales Director Michael John del Pilar said.

“JMC Davao affirms our commitment to providing Filipinos all over the country with high-quality pickup trucks that can take on the toughest jobs while offering the sophistication and refinement of a premium vehicle,” he added.

For his part, JMC Davao Dealer Principal Philip Tan shared his excitement for the brand and its future in the region.

“We have immense trust and confidence in the JMC brand and its lineup of vehicles. Our new dealership in Davao City will undoubtedly contribute to the overall growth of JMC in the Philippines, as we bring top-notch vehicles and unparalleled service to our customers," he said.

Currently, JMC Philippines is selling two pick-up models: the Grand Avenue and Vigus.

The JMC Grand Avenue — that comes with a starting price of P1.221 million — is powered by a 2.3-liter, twin-cam, 16-valve inline-four turbo diesel engine mated to a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The engine — offered in 4x2 and 4x4 configurations —can deliver 175 horsepower (hp) and 450 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque.

Its cabin boasts leather upholstery, automatic climate control, electronically-adjustable front seats, and a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

On the other hand, the JMC Vigus (available in 4x2 and 4x4 options as well) comes with a 2.5-liter, twin-cam, 16-valve inline-four turbo diesel engine that can dish out 128 hp and 315 Nm. It is fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox — and prices start at P959,000.

Both offerings are retailed with a five-year/150,000-kilometer warranty (whichever comes first), a lifetime engine warranty for complete peace of mind, and free 24/7 roadside assistance for the first year.
