BYD Philippines

I read that ToyotaPh is giving out P200k discounts on the Zenix HEV. And the reason is heavy competition from BYD.

I read that ToyotaPh is giving out P200k discounts on the Zenix HEV. And the reason is heavy competition from BYD.

Not just the Zenix (which is being threatened by the eMax 7), here are the other discounts:

INNOVA ZENIX Q HEV CVT - 𝟐𝟑𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎
COROLLA CROSS GR-S HEV CVT - 𝟏𝟖𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎
COROLLA CROSS V HEV CVT - 𝟐𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎
COROLLA CROSS G HEV CVT- 𝟐𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎
YARIS CROSS S HEV CVT 2T - 𝟐𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎

It's definitely extraordinary. When was the last time Toyota PH offered discounts at this range and for this many vehicles?

The fact that this seems to be for the HEV's only means their new energy sales are being hit hard and they needed to quickly respond.

Serves them right.
Those Toyota dealers were money hungry crocodiles during the initial release of these units. asking top ups just to get a unit.

Hopefully wakeup call ito for ToyotaPh to stop shortchanging the Filipino buyers by just relying on the T-badge alone.

Sana all their line-up will follow suit.
Their sales will surely left behind by these EV buyers due to EDSA Rehab.
Let the price war begins.

I remember when we bought our Zenix last year...

Corolla Cross & Zenix HEV - kailangan installment
Corolla Cross GR and Altis GR HEV - halos regular clients lang daw makakabili

Pero the Yaris Cross HEV was available kahit cash... nag price drop kasi bigla ang Kicks which left them off guard.

So I guess ayaw lang nila mapag-iwanan ng sales, especially now that people are in the market to buy an odd-even/coding exempt vehicle.

I mentioned this post kay misis and she was so excited, I had to stop her from calling our Toyota agent... sabi ko next year pa due for replacement City namin.

Kahit pala yung mga models nila na hindi high-end eh minsan garapalan sa toyota.

Yung gusto kasi nila mag in-house ang mga buyers para mapansin sila at mabigyan ng priority. May iba na turn-off daw kaya pinili nalang nila different brand.

Baka kaya hindi naging mabenta mga hev nila eh.

nung binili namin Zenix namin... madalang ang supply.

For the Pearl White HEV - 1 unit per dealership
Altis HEV - months na daw na wala silang natatanggap

Pero its nice to see na nararamdaman na ng Toyota ang BYD. dati kasi wala sila halos competition locally.

BYD in 2024 was the #1 selling car brand in Singapore, #1 pa din sila Q1 of 2025
#6 sila in Thailand despite not having a pick-up in their line-up

Toyota needs to adapt or it will be left behind... pansin ko sa kabataan ngayon, di na important sa kanila ang resale value... and important sa kanila is maayos yung car habang ginagamit nila

[GTcervan]

Baka makakatulong siguro kung ilagay nila sa lahat ng variants na meron imbes na yung top-end lang.

Parang dun sa nissan kicks na kahit el variant lang naka hybrid power na. Magkano din kasi agwat mula sa mga standard na ice eh.

Agree dun sa resale value, mas pinipili na ng iba ngayon yung ibang bagay na tulad ng value for money, comfort, character at tech/features. Pero if us, china o korean brand, kung meron man mas maganda silang kuhanin na slightly used tapos yung odometer nasa 3 o 4 digits pa lang. Kunware, one year old unit na ganun lang ang takbo pero wala pang tint tapos may mga balot pa sa loob. Para mas tipid sa acquisition cost pag ganon haha baka maging maarte nga lang pag idadaan sa financing.
