If you’re on social media it’s almost impossible to miss Niana Guerrero. She shot to fame about six years ago for dancing “Despacito” randomly, and the world was charmed by the natural dancer. Now she’s an online superstar with 15.3 million YouTube subscibers and more than 40 million followers on Tiktok.
On a recent YouTube video posted by her equally popular brother, Ranz Kyle, it was shown that Niana is about to turn 18 and is looking for a new car. They went to Bonifacio Global City and looked at the showrooms of Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover, before proceeding to Audi’s showroom along EDSA.
At the Mercedes dealer, with the help of veteran sales professional Gino Severino, Niana looked at the GLA 200 AMG (P3,850,000), CLA 180 (P3,550,000), and what looks like a Mercedes-Maybach S580. The Mercedes-Benz Philippines website doesn’t list the price of the S580, but the Guerreros were quoted an SRP of P30 million. Whoa. Even we didn’t know that.
After looking at an Mercedes-AMG A35, Ranz said they looked at a new electric model off-camera. His sister was especially interested in it, and it’s actually a leading contender on her list. The siblings were even invited to the official launch.
We know that Mercedes-Benz Philippines is officially launching its electric lineup on September 20, we already got the invite. Even better, we already got to drive the EQ line, what Mercedes calls its EVs, in Sepang back in June. All we can say is, if you like the style of the cars, you won’t regret bringing it home, Niana.
The Guerreros then dropped by the Jaguar Land Rover showroom beside Mercedes-Benz (they’re owned by the same company here), where Niana looked at the Jaguar I-Pace EV, the Jaguar F-Pace SUV, the Land Rover Defender and the Range Rover. The young YouTuber expressed her fondness for brown interiors and liked the Range Rover’s cabin. We like her taste. But they were a bit surprised at the P17 million asking price. But considering what the Range Rover can do and how it transports people, that SRP starts to make sense.
Next stop was the Audi showroom along EDSA. They looked at the Q3 subcompact crossover, a beautiful green Q5 compact crossover, and the Q8 midsize crossover. Continuing Niana’s fascination with EVs, she also checked out the Q8 e-tron and the e-tron GT. They were also given a tour of the new Antonio’s restaurant integrated into the showroom.
In the end, showing her PR savvy, Niana picked one favorite from each showroom. For Audi she liked the e-tron GT (same), from JLR she picked the Range Rover, and from Mercedes-Benz she mentioned the EQ that they were given a special preview to.
Quite an envious selection, especially for someone so young, and a first car at that. But after all the smiles she’s given her followers and fans, she deserves a car that makes her just as happy.
