First known for its famed model, the 850, Volvo continues to solidify its nearly three-decade foothold in the Philippine luxury automobile market. The Swedish company is renowned for its groundbreaking collection of masterfully crafted cars: from its comprehensive line of sports utility vehicles-the XC90, XC60 and XC40 as well as its beloved sedan, the $90. The brand has enamoured loyal supporters time and time again with its automobiles that exceed people's diverse needs and expectations.
Behind Volvo's enduring legacy in the local scene is Scandinavian Motors Corporation (SMC), the duly licensed importer and distributor led by Alberto B Arcilla, president and chief executive officer. Established in 1994, SMC is a part of the automotive group founded by the Lee family, one of the most eminent leaders in the automotive industry for over 60 years now. With Richard L Lee serving as chairman emeritus, SMC's parent company is the country's longest-thriving, 100 per cent Filipino-owned automotive group. As a testament to the family's decades of expertise and experience, SMC was awarded with the Volvo Diamond Award as the best importer in its first year of operation.
