New car launches made headlines on the first day

As the market for crossovers keeps on growing, automakers grabbed the opportunity to feature their own entries at the biggest annual motoring event in the country. Some of these include the Subaru Forester facelift, revamped Changan CS35 Plus, updated Geely Coolray, larger MG HS, new Peugeot 2008, and Chevrolet Tracker.

Performance vehicles also took the spotlight as Subaru Philippines debuted the all-new BRZ which now has more power over the outgoing model. GAC Motor Philippines also premiered the new EMPOW55, a smart sports sedan that can run from zero to 100 km/h in 6.95 seconds.

These vehicles were featured at the MIAS Main Hall, along with accessory distributors and enthusiast-oriented products. Light and heavy-duty trucks were displayed at the North Wing of the venue, while its East Wing hosted aftermarket vendors with modified and custom-tuned vehicles. As for the outdoor area, it served as the test drive site and the platform for the Subaru-Russ Swift Stunt Show.

Philkotse.com also joined the country’s biggest motoring event as our team’s booth gave fuel vouchers and other freebies. Philkotse personalities including Philkotse’s own Senpai ng Turbuhan Stanley Chi and Kambyo Boy Next Door Martin Aguilar graced the booth, and held a Meet and Greet with fans on the third day of the exhibit.
