Geely Binyue (Coolray) is now Philippines' best-selling sub-compact SUV 01

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic causing the automotive industry to come to a halt in 2020, Geely Philippines' market performance has still been very strong. According to CarGuide.ph, the Geely Binyue, sold as the Coolray in the Philippines (which is essentially the upcoming Proton X50 in Malaysia) has emerged as the top-selling 5-seater sub-compact SUV, selling 154 units in June.

Cumulatively, Geely Philippines ranks 10th in overall sales for the month with 184 units combined sales of the Coolray, and the recently-launched Azkarra. This is Geely's highest monthly sales record since January 2020, and a 160 % jump from its May numbers.

Mikihisa Takayama, President and CEO of Sojitz G Auto Philippines (SGAP), importers and distributors of Geely vehicles in Philippines said, “This is definitely a very positive development as auto brands try to bounce back during this post-lockdown period. We are very delighted with this outcome since it is mainly driven by one model, the Coolray and only one showroom located in North EDSA.”

“We expect Geely sales to improve further as we open new dealership outlets and further complement our product line-up this year,” Takayama added.

So, the Geely Coolray/Proton X50 seems rather well-received in the Philippines. Do you think it will be a hit in Malaysia?
