It’s Mother’s Day weekend so why not make it exciting with lot of broom?

Before you feast on that yummy meal, take Mom for a car ride or two or three at the Auto Focus Summer Test Drive Festival at the SM MOA grounds on 11 and 12 May.

Hop on into the latest and newest vehicles on the market today — who knows, Mom might just see one she likes.

The Auto Focus Summer Test Drive Festival is an annual event organized by Sunshine Television (STV), featuring multiple cars for test drives and retail. Admission is free and open to the public.

Coding exempt Emkoo Hybrid SUV

Astara-led GAC Motor Philippine­s returns. Leading the charge are the highly-anticipate­d Emkoo Hybrid SUV, the cutting-edge all-new M6 Pro, and the beloved subcompact crossover Emzoom.

The Emkoo Hybrid SUV, the first hybrid SUV to be introduced by GAC Motor in the country, made its official debut at the 2024 Manila Internatio­nal Auto Show, and will once again be available for viewing at the four-day test drive festival. Available for purchase in June 2024, the Emkoo Hybrid SUV runs on a full parallel hybrid system and will also be coding exempt on the streets of Metro Manila.

Customers can anticipate an immersive GAC Motor experience at the festival, with the opportunit­y to test-drive the entire spectrum of the brand’s offerings. From the family-friendly M6 Pro MPV to the favorite GS3 Emzoom, and the opulent M8 MPV, there’s a vehicle tailored to every lifestyle.

As with all GAC Motor vehicles, each vehicle purchased comes with an after sales warranty for the first five years or 150,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.

MG cars: Style, performanc­e and functional­ity

MG Philippine­s will be bringing eight cars, including the brand’s recently announced models, namely the MG One, MG3, and G50 Plus for motorists to try out.

The highlight of MG’s Test Drive lineup is the MG3, the freshest addition to this year’s roster. The MG3 is a compact city hatchback that strikes a perfect balance between style, performanc­e and functional­ity, making it the ideal vehicle for firsttime car owners looking for a trustworth­y and reliable choice on the road.

The MG G50 Plus and MG3 are set to be officially launched later this month, and the STV Summer Test Drive Festival is where people can get their first taste of these two exciting new cars.

Aside from these, the MG ONE, MG4 STD and LUX variants, ZS EV, GT Sport, and ZST will also be available to test drive at the four-day event.
