NISSAN Cebu Distributors, Inc. (NCDI) has noted a take up in sales and expects a good turnout in volume towards the end of the year, especially with the entry of the new X-Trail, Nissan’s version in the compact sports utility vehicle (SUV) category.
“We are excited about the coming of the new X-Trail. In fact, quite a number of Cebuanos have already reserved for this vehicle, and this had made us very bullish for the prospects ahead,” said Julie Sy Tio, general manager of the Cebu Nissan dealership.
Nissan Philippines, Inc. (NPI) is scheduled to launch in Cebu the Nissan X-Trail on Oct. 16 in SM City Cebu.
The X-Trail is noted in reviews as “more attractive than its predecessors and much of the competition” for its stylish, clever, robust and sleek design.
The compact SUV of Nissan also has an inviting interior and features innovative and exciting technology.
Tio said they expect a bigger demand for the X-Trail after the launch and especially towards November and just before people will settle for the holidays in December.
“Much more will it be when balikbayans come home for various festivals early next year,” she said.
Tio said the dealership has been pleased with the sales performance of the Nissan passenger cars, especially the Nissan Sylphy, the former Nissan Bluebird that Nissan launched last April.
The Nissan Almera also attracted most first car owners, while the Nissan Altima remained in demand for the high-end market, she said.
NPI merged Universal Motors Corp. and Nissan Motor Philippines, Inc. last Dec. 12 still in a joint venture with Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., and maintains Nissan Cebu Distributors, Inc. as frontline dealer in Cebu and Bohol. (PR)
