Suzuki Philippine­s (SPH) also showcased its growing lineup of innovative vehicles and gave a peek into nextgenera­tion cars combining fuel economy, distinct styling, and innovative features and functions in line with PIMS 2018’s theme of Future Mobility.

Shuzo Hoshikura, VP and GM of Suzuki Philippine­s for Automobile, shared his excitement for this year’s PIMS: “Suzuki has been for several years now an active participan­t in the Philippine Internatio­nal Motor Show. 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. This and the clamor of the local motoring fans, we believe that this event is the perfect avenue for the first preview of the soon-to-belaunched Jimny, which has been one of the hot topics in the local and global motoring industry. We want to give our Filipino supporters an opportunit­y to check it out for themselves here at PIMS ahead of the official launch.”

The iconic off-roader continues the familiar cute and lovable styling and diminutive dimensions for easy drivabilit­y and go-anywhere capability. Its spritely engine can traverse both narrow city streets and rough terrain, making the Jimny an ideal companion for both urban and off-road driving.

Aside from the all-new Jimny, visitors can get a firsthand look at Suzuki’s popular vehicles such as the all-new Swift, Dzire, Vitara and Ciaz.

On the last day of the show, the Suzuki Safety Scouts will share their advocacy on road safety. As part of SPH’s efforts to raise awareness about road safety nationwide, the Suzuki Safety Scouts is open to children aged four to 14, who besides being an official scout for free will receive traffic safety training, a safety scout uniform and

activity books on road safety.
