It appears that 2025 is set to deliver similarly strong results during this period. Nearly 20,000 vehicles were sold in March, representing a growth of almost a quarter compared to last year. Overall, sales are gaining strong momentum. It’s important to note that behind these record-breaking figures is the diligent work of official industry participants.It’s important to recognize the effort put in by official dealers, who are actively introducing preferential financing, loyalty programs, and warranty services. We hope 2025 becomes the year of building long-term customer trust in the official automotive industry."
