Philippine International Motor Show 2018 – Suzuki Philippines will Showcase Next-Generation Vehicles at PIMS 2018

• Suzuki Philippines underscores next-generation vehicles at 2018 PIMS

Suzuki Philippines, the country’s pioneer compact car distributor, demonstrates its continued efforts to innovate and offer Filipinos vehicles that serve as their partners in life, moving with them now and toward the future, as it joins this year’s Philippine International Motor Show.

SPH will showcase its lineup of innovative vehicles and give a peek into next-generation cars combining fuel economy, distinct styling, and innovative features and functions in line with PIMS 2018’s theme of Future Mobility. The trade event, which will run from October 24 to 28 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City, will feature the latest and upcoming technologies in the Philippine automotive industry.

SPH’s booth will highlight not just how the brand has been growing and evolving but also, and more importantly, how its range of innovative vehicles continues to improve to provide the best driving experience now and in the future. Suzuki’s booth will present how the company continues to upgrade its current vehicle lineup to become future-ready vehicles that are compact yet powerful enough to handle Filipinos’ driving needs, in particular in highly urbanized areas.

Shuzo Hoshikura, vice president and general manager of Suzuki Philippines for Automobile, shares his excitement for this year’s PIMS. “Suzuki has been for several years now an active participant in the Philippine International Motor Show. For many years now, PIMS has been a strong platform for us to connect with our supporters much more directly and show them how we continue to upgrade the Suzuki vehicles they have loved. Beyond displaying our latest models, we want to share with them how fervent we continue to be in driving innovations that move the Filipino drivers and riders toward the future,” Hoshikura said.

Well-loved Suzuki vehicles on display

Visitors to the 7th edition of PIMS will be able to get a first-hand experience with Suzuki’s popular vehicles such as the new Swift, new Dzire, new Vitara and Ciaz.

SPH will showcase the special features and functions of the recently launched all-new Dzire and Swift. Visitors interested in finding out more about Auto Gear Shift (AGS) technology can explore the Dzire. The practical sedan enables automated manual transmission with its AGS functionality, enabling Filipino drivers to enjoy the ease of driving offered by automatic vehicles with the fuel efficiency of manual transmission.

The new Swift offers improved driving experience with its maneuverability and stand-out character. Its edgier look and upgraded engine performance suit the style and needs of fun-loving millennials.

The new Vitara, 2017 CAGI Car of the Year awardee under the Subcompact Crossover Category, boasts enhanced driving and safety features. Its stylish design also offers optimum personalization to suit drivers’ diverse tastes and requirements.

The Ciaz, a top-selling Suzuki brand and the winner of Best Personal Commuter in last year’s 12th C! Magazine Awards, packs an elegant design and spacious interior. On top of these, it features fuel economy and an affordable price that combined make it an ideal subcompact sedan.
