Test driving a vehicle is one of the most important things to do before making the actual purchase. It can give you more insight into the vehicle you’re eyeing in terms of how it feels and how it drives.
This is why most car dealerships in the Philippines offer a test drive experience for their potential customers. But this process could be a bit time-consuming, especially when you’re looking into several cars under different brands. You need to go from one dealership to another for you to test drive the cars on your shortlist.
Good thing there’s an event happening this week that will give you the opportunity to test drive vehicles under different car brands in just one venue. No need to go dealership hopping.
The 2023 Auto Focus Test Drive Festival is happening from May 4 to 7 at the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) concert grounds. The said festival is considered to be the country’s biggest outdoor test drive event that aims to offer a one-stop shop for prospective car buyers. Through this event, you can test drive cars from multiple car brands that could help you make an informed decision.
“Growing out of the multi-weekend series of outdoor display/test drive projects that began in 2005 and subsequently developing into a major 4-day event erstwhile known as the Auto Focus Motor Show & Auto Expo from 2007, the program’s main purpose is to serve as a veritable one-stop shop for those looking to buy a car,” STV Chairman and CEO Ray Butch Gamboa said.
Here are the car brands participating in the 2023 Auto Focus Test Drive Festival:
- Ford
- GAC Motor
- Great Wall Motor
- Honda
- Hyundai
- Mitsubishi
- Nissan
- Subaru
- Suzuki
- Toyota
- WM Motor
Organizers said that the mentioned car brands will be showcasing their model lineups as well as offering test drives at the 2023 Auto Focus Summer Test Drive Festival.
Gamboa added that the event aims to give potential car buyers the chance to compare similar and competing models in a more efficient way.
“Bringing together the Philippines’ leading car manufacturers and distributors in a single venue to display their best models and offer test drives, it provides car buyers and enthusiasts the opportunity to compare similar, competing models head-to-head, and look out for the best deals, discounts and financing offers available. It eliminates the inconvenient and time-consuming ordeal of having to hop from one dealer showroom to another,” Gamboa noted.
The 2023 Auto Focus Summer Test Drive Festival presented by Caltex will run from May 4 to 7 at the MOA concert grounds. Gates open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and admission is free.
