Mr. Phillip Lu, Business & Marketing Operations General Manager of Motor Image Group – the exclusive distributor of Subaru products and services in eight markets in Asia – shared: “Vietnamese customers have shown great interest in Subaru due to the brand’s commitment to safety. Vietnam is one of Subaru’s fastest-growing markets worldwide.”
In that context, Subaru Vietnam has taken steps to demonstrate its commitment to expansion in the Vietnamese market. In 2018, Subaru only had 7 authorized dealers nationwide and sold a total of 117 cars throughout the year. Now, the number of Subaru dealers has increased to 17 branches from north to south, representing a 143% increase in dealerships in the past 5 years. Meanwhile, annual Subaru car sales have increased by over 15 times.
Subaru Saigon – Gò Vấp Branch functions as a distributor of new Subaru vehicles, providing genuine parts, and offering after-sales services including painting and repairs according to Subaru Japan Group’s rigorous standards. With a total area of nearly 2,500m2, this new facility is over 1,000m2 larger than the previous business location, with a well-arranged space for display, waiting room, and services, providing comfort for customers.
