BENTLEY MANILA CELEBRATES 10 EXTRAORDINARY YEARS
Milestone coincides with Bentley Motors’ transition to sustainable luxury mobility
Bentley Manila is celebrating a successful 10-year partnership with Bentley Motors, the world’s most sought-after luxury car brand. Bentley Manila officially opened its doors on May 8, 2013, and has welcomed a growing number of customers ever since.
Over the last decade, interest in the quintessentially British brand has grown strongly in the Philippines. Bentley Manila — together with the PGA Cars group to which it belongs — celebrated the milestone with owners and Bentley enthusiasts at PGA Cars Studio, a luxurious space in the heart of Metro Manila that fuses a lifestyle center, lounge, auto display and the fine dining institution Antonio’s.
Leading in marking the occasion was Bentley Manila President Benedicto Coyiuto, who was joined by PGA Cars Founder and Principal Robert Coyiuto, Jr., PGA Cars Chairman Roberto Coyiuto III, PGA Cars Director Prudencio Coyiuto, and Bentley Manila Managing
Director Christopher Chan.
“Our 10th anniversary coincides with Bentley Motors’ leadership in the transition to sustainable luxury mobility. As Bentley redefines luxury, we are taking this path along with them,” Benedicto Coyiuto said during the anniversary program.
Top officials from Bentley Motors also attended the milestone event. Present were Sam Bontoft, Jack Clarke, Darren Pluckwell, Jenny Makin and Aktar Yacob.
Bentley Manila’s 10th anniversary comes at a significant time in the history of Bentley Motors. As company recently announced strong results, Bentley Motors is transforming its facilities into a “dream factory,” having been among the first in the automotive industry to be certified carbon neutral. This development is in line with the brand’s evolution into a globally recognized leader in sustainable luxury.
In the Philippines, among Bentley Manila’s highlights this year were the introductions of the Bentley Flying Spur Plug-in Hybrid and the Bentayga Extended Wheelbase (EWB) Azure. The Flying Spur Plug-in Hybrid debuted in the Philippines as part of Bentley Motors’ goal to offer a hybrid option across its entire model range. The Bentayga Extended EWB showcases the Azure range’s features designed to enhance the wellbeing and comfort of the vehicle’s occupants.
This year, Bentley Manila also attended exclusive events held at the British Ambassador’s Residence in the Philippines, strengthening ties with embassy officials and showing the company’s commitment to nurture relationships with the United Kingdom. British Ambassador Laure Beaufils visited the PGA Cars Studio as well to meet with Bentley Manila’s top management.
A DECADE OF EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEYS
Bentley Manila is Bentley Motors’ 153rd dealership worldwide. The addition of Bentley to PGA Cars’
other brand partners, namely Porsche, Audi and Lamborghini, allowed PGA Cars to further its leadership in the country’s luxury sector.
Unveiled during the inauguration program in 2013 were the Bentley Mulsanne, Continental GT, Continental GT Speed, and the Continental GTC. The arrival of Bentley in the country addressed growing demand for ultraluxurious cars imported, retailed and supported by an official and exclusive partner. Inspiring confidence among discerning consumers, this guaranteed the best ownership journey, starting from the showroom to factorycertified aftersales services.
Other milestones in Bentley
Manila’s 10-year journey include Bentley Manila’s first collaboration with the prestigious Enrique Zobel Memorial Polo Cup, participation in Bentley’s global retailer conferences, and launching new models that furthered Bentley’s success — the Bentayga SUV, third generation Continental GT, and new Flying Spur.
As Bentley Motors celebrated its centenary in 2019, Bentley Manila marked the occasion with the opening of a new world-class showroom in Bonifacio Global City. It is designed according to Bentley’s corporate identity guidelines, and features a car personalization area, handcrafted items from the Bentley Collection, and a fully equipped bar.
