Ford’s ASEAN performance was also given a boost by continuing demand for the popular EcoSport compact SUV which became Ford’s second best-selling vehicle in the region, delivering overall sales that rose 13 percent year-over-year to 20,518 units.
Exceptional demand for the all-new Everest – which began launching across ASEAN markets in the third quarter – helped drive the overall ASEAN performance with sales rising 98 percent year-over-year to 11,233 units.
The next-generation Everest redefines consumer expectations for a medium SUV with stunning off-road capability, on-road comfort, advanced technologies, a bold design and refined interior.
As one of the smartest vehicles in its segment, the all-new Everest features Ford’s SYNC 2 connectivity system, Curve Control, Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Alert, Roll Stability Control, Electronic Stability Program and Active Park Assist.
The sporty Fiesta also contributed to the record ASEAN performance with retail sales across the region of 7,634 units.
Market Share Gains, Record Sales
Thailand continued to lead Ford’s overall performance in ASEAN with full-year sales of 36,463 units. Amidst a protracted domestic industry slowdown that saw overall sales decline for the third consecutive year, Ford continued to outpace the industry to help drive its full-year market share up 0.3 percentage points to 4.6 percent.
Ford’s Thailand sales were driven by the Ranger pickup which finished the year with its best-ever December sales rising 24 percent year-over-year to 3,025 units. Ranger full-year sales of 23,846 units helped its segment share increase 0.8 percentage points to 7.3 percent.
In the Philippines, Ford delivered record full-year sales that rose 25 percent to 25,372 units, helping it jump one spot to become the number three-selling automotive brand.
The EcoSport became Ford’s best-selling nameplate in the Philippines with full-year sales up 67 percent to 8,702 units. Ranger was the second best-selling pickup truck overall in the Philippines with sales that increased six percent year-over-year to a record 8,445 units. Everest also delivered all-time record sales in 2015 that climbed 58 percent to 4,945 units.
Ford delivered record full-year sales in Vietnam with total 2015 sales rising 48 percent to 20,740 units. Ranger remained Vietnam’s best-selling pickup truck for the second consecutive year with sales jumping 81 percent to a record 8,685 units.
EcoSport also achieved record Vietnam sales in 2015 with overall sales climbing 145 percent to 3,977 units. And Transit remained the best-selling vehicle in Vietnam’s commercial bus and van segment for the second consecutive year with sales jumping 56 percent to 5,600 units.
Ranger remained the second-best selling pickup in Malaysia in 2015 with sales rising almost eight percent to 9,231 units, helping contribute to Ford’s overall full-year sales of 12,130 units.
Ford’s ASEAN performance was also supported by continued growth in emerging markets that was led by strong demand for the Ranger.
In Cambodia, Ford finished 2015 with its best-ever full-year performance and sales increasing 41 percent from the previous year to 1,266 units. Ford’s full-year new vehicle sales in Myanmar rose six percent to 679 units.
In Laos, Ford sales increased five percent to 653 units. And in Singapore, Ford saw its sales rise 83 percent from the previous year to 422 units.
“In 2015, we continued to welcome and serve so many new-to-Ford customers across the ASEAN markets,” said Kaufman. “As our customer base expands across the region, our efforts to further enhance our Ford customer and ownership experience will also continue.”
