Gulf Weekly Launching a 'winner'


IN a show of faith in the island's car market, Motorcity has opened its third new showroom in less than eight months.

The company is the sole distributor of Ssangyong cars in the kingdom, and this week launched a state-of-the-art show space for the Korean brand on Al Estiqlal Highway in Sanad.

Officials say the new showrooms are a clear indication of Motorcity's ongoing infrastructure development and expansion plans despite the current economic climate.

Motorcity general manager Yann Lassade said: "We trust the Bahrain market and the Ssangyong brand and hence have made this investment.

"We are very happy about this launch, which can be described as a confident and logical move for us, due to the increasing demand for Ssangyong cars and the positive sales figures accomplished since it was launched in Bahrain."

The new facility houses the full range of Ssangyong's models including the Rexton II, Kyron and Actyon and it is designed according to the maker's international standards to reflect the characteristics which set the brand apart such as affordability, style and performance.

The new showroom also saw the unveiling of Ssangyong's latest, revamped luxury car the 'Chairman', which has been dubbed a winner by many automobile critics since its launch.

The Chairman is available in two models 'sedan' and 'limousine' offering both luxury and affordability alongside elegance and practicality. This model is priced at BD17,500.

The 4X4 ranges - Actyon and Rexton II - were also showcased combining modern design and reliable performance plus the latest in Korean technology.

The Actyon starts from BD6,000, Rexton II from BD8,750 and the brand's pickup series Actyon Sports from BD6,000 onwards.

Motorcity also announced that it is presenting its customers with special opening offers.
