Ford Philippines Hits 30,000 Sales Milestone, Achieves 27% Retail Growth in 2023

Ford Philippines celebrates a remarkable accomplishment as it surpasses the 30,000 sales milestone in 2023, marking a return to this figure after six years. This achievement stands as Ford’s third-highest full-year retail sales performance within the past decade.

The full-year 2023 retail sales experienced a substantial surge, posting a 27% growth from the previous year and reaching an impressive 31,320 vehicles. This outstanding performance is credited to the success of Ford’s Next-Gen vehicle lineup, featuring the Ranger, Territory, and Everest.

Key Highlights:

  • Ford Ranger Dominates: The Ranger emerged as the best-selling Ford vehicle in 2023, with a sales increase of 16% to 13,234 units. Notably, it secured its position as the best-selling 4×4 pickup truck in the country, boasting a remarkable 40% market share. The introduction of the Ranger Raptor in the first half of 2023 significantly contributed to this success.
  • Territory’s Leadership: The Ford Territory played a significant role in Ford’s retail performance, achieving sales of 9,119 units in the past year. It maintained its leadership in the small SUV segment for the fourth consecutive year, holding a substantial market share of 44%.
  • Next-Gen Territory’s Rapid Success: Launched in April at the Manila International Auto Show, the Next-Gen Territory showcased a commanding contemporary design, premium interiors, and efficient performance. Surpassing 5,000 sales within five months of its launch, it demonstrated sustained popularity among first-time car buyers, young professionals, and small families.
  • Everest’s Growth: The Ford Everest sustained its appeal, experiencing a 142% increase in full-year sales to 8,569 vehicles. Its blend of adventure-ready capability, exceptional comfort, and customer-focused technology contributed to its growing popularity among Filipino SUV enthusiasts.

Commitment to Enhanced Ownership Experience:

In 2023, Ford Philippines reinforced its commitment to enhancing the ownership experience with the introduction of service convenience initiatives under the Ford Family Guarantee program. Express Service, a 90-minute program for faster and more efficient vehicle servicing, and Pickup and Delivery, providing a convenient way for customers to service their vehicles, were launched. Later in the year, additional initiatives like Online Service Booking and Service Price Calculator were introduced, offering convenience and transparency in service appointments.

For a worry-free ownership experience, Ford is offering a 5-year warranty for the Ranger, Everest, and Territory.

Statement from Mike Breen, Managing Director, Ford Philippines:

“We are immensely proud of this huge accomplishment that solidified our position in the industry amid a very dynamic, challenging and competitive environment. We thank our customers, dealers, employees, communities, and partners for their continued trust, support, and collaboration. We remain committed to bringing our segment-leading vehicles, innovative services, and impactful customer experiences to the Filipino motoring public.”

    The Side Tripper

    “Make sure you don’t take any side trips,” warns Schumler, from a phrase in the 1993 American film Swing Kids. If you are someone who does not have time to lose, then it is better for you to stick to your main agenda, because there is something about side tripping that submerges the soul in experiences that sometimes make you hope that time would stand still, as the experiences they bring can be more impactful than the main trip itself. It is that free flowing agenda, an unexpected sleepover or a detour that has unintentionally brought pleasant surprises. You can live without it, like you can eat a cake without its icing, but your journey may not be as meaningful. If travel is the ‘best medicine for the heart’,* then for me, side trips are secret ingredients to the most memorable travels and other events that can happen in between or off the main route of one’s itineraries. Welcome to Side Tripper, a collection of photographs and blogs about the many side trip adventures of our family and friends. *Source: The Global Commission on Aging and Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, in partnership with the U.S. Travel Association (Los Angeles Times, December 17, 2013 by Chris Erskine)
