Suzuki PH announces second round of virtual Auto Festival this month

Updated Nov 20, 2020 | Same topic: Automotive Industry Updates

The event was moved due to typhoon Ulysses.

Suzuki Philippines Inc. (SPH) annual Auto Festival Roadshow, which was held last September 19, showed how the Japanese carmaker is willing to put up efforts to connect with its customers despite the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

With that being said, SPH will be launching a second wave of its Auto Festival. It will be a two-day activity that showcases the favorite Suzuki vehicles such as the Suzuki XL7 and the Suzuki S-Presso. There will be games and activities as well for the whole family to enjoy.

Just like the previous Suzuki Auto Festival Roadshow, the two-day event will also hold a Safety Scout Webinar. This is intended for young car enthusiasts where they can win exciting Suzuki merchandise through contest games.

“It is with events like this that we realize how the connection between ourselves in Suzuki Philippines and our customers should be strengthened. Resilience is what the Filipino community shows every day as we altogether brave the challenges we are faced,” said Mr. Keiichi Suzuki, Suzuki Philippines vice president and Automobile Division general manager.

The second leg of the Suzuki Virtual Auto Festival was supposed to be happening on November 14 to 15 but was moved to November 21 to 22 due to the disruption brought by the recent Typhoon Ulysses. The Auto Fest is available on Suzuki’s Facebook page from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

“For us, through the Suzuki Auto Festival, we are able to encourage a community that sees hope even during these trying times. We are grateful for your continued support and we will remain relentless in seeking ways to find innovations not only in our products but also with our service,” ended Mr. Keiichi Suzuki.
