“Work and Play” at the Cebu Auto Show 2018

Worldbex Services International will be bringing back the Cebu Auto Show (CAS) to unite the Visayan market’s top automotive companies for three days.

Conceived as one of the regional installments of the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), the 11th CAS is expected to roll out the latest and most innovative automotive trends.

Driving around the theme of “Work and Play”, this year’s CAS will be turning its focus on two of the most prominent reasons people buy cars.

People are realizing the value of owning cars, not just for everyday use but also for their leisure aspirations.

On the other hand, the emergence of new entrepreneurial opportunities as well as the fast-growing TNV sector has undoubtedly opened up a new market for vehicles that can live up to this new form of consumer demand.

As such, the CAS 2018 will be highlighting vehicles and other automotive products and services that will primarily address these growing demands.

Following the success of last year’s show, which showcased 70 companies and garnered close to 12,000 visitors, this year’s edition of CAS will continue to push the boundaries of auto trade presentation as it gathers a total of 44 booths composed of seven vehicle brands, two motorcycle brands, and a long list of auto parts and car accessories sellers.

Among the brands that are set to participate at this year’s show are Foton, JAC, JMC, Volkswagen, Ssangyong, and Toyota.

Aside from the lineup of show exhibitors, guaranteed to drive up the excitement of automotive enthusiasts are the CAS 2018 event highlights.

At this year’s Custom and Classic Competition, different car clubs and other independent car owners from across the region will be besting it out in 21 categories. Among these categories include the Best Race-Inspired, Best in Show, Best Model, Best Lighting Display, Best Interior, Best in Classic, Best in Body Kit, and more.

Meanwhile, this year’s Diecast car model swap meet promises to impress the most discerning collector as it showcases the best pieces from the Diecast Car Collectors of the Philippines and the Cebu Diecast Car Collectors.

Sports cars and motor bikes be will also be on display at the Mountain Wing at the ground floor of SM Seaside in Cebu.

The 11th Cebu Auto Show will be on Sept. 14 to 16 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the SM Seaside Skyhall. /
