SHANGHAI -- (Business Wire)
Ford Motor Company continues to reach new heights in China, with demand
rising 24 percent in September. So far this year, sales for Ford,
Lincoln and its joint ventures have totaled nearly 880,000 vehicles, up
11 percent over last year.
The driving force behind Ford’s growth in the world’s largest auto
market has been its expanded SUV lineup. Sales of the Ford EcoSport,
Kuga, Edge, Everest and Explorer, and Lincoln MKC, MKX and Navigator
have totaled nearly 230,000 vehicles this year, an 18 percent increase
over 2015.
Chinese car enthusiasts have also made the Ford Mustang a cult hit.
Sales of the iconic pony car have topped 2,300 so far this year, already
surpassing last year’s total. What’s more, the new Ford Focus reached
nearly 20,000 sales in September, up 43 percent year over year.
“Ford has been building momentum month after month, winning new
customers with the most exciting and appealing lineup we have ever
offered in China,” said Peter Fleet, vice president, Marketing, Sales
and Service, Ford Asia Pacific. “We will continue to listen to customers
and meet their needs with great new cars, SUVs and commercial vehicles.”
Ford is currently launching the new Kuga SUV across China and later this
year, the new flagship Lincoln Continental starts to reach dealers.
Annual sales for Changan Ford Automobile, Ford’s passenger car joint
venture, totaled more than 663,000 vehicles, a 14 percent increase
compared to last year. Changan Ford saw a record September, with nearly
85,000 vehicles sold and a 25 percent increase compared to September
2015.
Jiangling Motors Corporation (JMC), Ford’s commercial vehicle investment
in China, also set a September record, selling more than 23,000
vehicles, a 28 percent increase compared to last year. Sales in the
first three quarters totaled nearly 183,000 vehicles, steady compared to
last year.
Lincoln continues to see strong momentum as one of the fastest-growing
luxury auto brands in China with nearly 21,000 vehicles sold in the
first three quarters of 2016, up 191 percent compared to last year.
September was Lincoln’s best month ever in China thanks to record sales
for all four Lincoln models, including the new Lincoln MKZ, the Lincoln
MKC, the Lincoln MKX and the Lincoln Navigator.
