A Fun Coolray Drive to Bataan

-

Sojitz G Auto Philippine­s (SGAP), the distributo­r of Geely in the country is all set to get the show on the road and build its name among the plethora of automotive brands that preceded it after it launched its very first Coolray Media Test Drive event over the weekend. Officials from Geely Auto Internatio­nal Corporatio­n and SGAP let the participan­ts’ two-day Coolray experience speak for itself.

Fifteen attendees from various media outfits joined an 8vehicle convoy and embarked on an over 180-kilometer drive from Manila going to Bataan.

While driving to the destinatio­n, Geely dared the participan­ts to challenge the Coolray Sport’s 15.5 km/l average fuel consumptio­n claim within the mix of city and highway driving. The winning car made a 16.4 km/l mark.

September of this year, Geely made a successful entry into the Philippine automotive market with the introducti­on of the Coolray Sport variant. With this, SGAP vows to continuous­ly offer value for money in its vehicles, making sure that customers would find more hightech features in Geely vehicles, which are normally found on luxury European brands, at an affordable price.

At a reasonable price of around P1.198-M, a sub-compact SUV with premium features - to include automatic park, state of the art gasoline direct injection turbo engine and 7-speed dual clutch transmissi­on, and 360-degree camera view found in high-end cars is not far-fetched. Not to mention that just last month, SGAP launched two more Geely Coolray variants – Comfort and Premium that start at an affordable price of around P970,000. With more variants to choose from, Coolray will definitely bring the fun back in driving.

In 2020, it's all systems go for Geely in building its nationwide dealership network according to plan wherein more Geely models are set to be introduced.

The future looks bright as SGAP drives its way to make Geely a significan­t player in the Philippine automotive industry.
