Suzuki Philippines has once again expanded its network by opening a new dealership in the City of Pines. The Japanese car brand shared that the opening of the Suzuki Auto Baguio marks a significant milestone as it is the inaugural partnership between Suzuki Philippines and Highfleet Motors.
Suzuki Auto Philippines Inc. Director and General Manager Norihide Takei said that the car brand’s partnership with Highfleet Motors is a testament to its commitment to providing quality vehicles to individuals residing in Baguio. “We are excited to bring Suzuki's innovative and compact models to this picturesque city," Takei added.
Highfleet Motors Corp. President Wilson Angheng is also thrilled with the company’s partnership with Suzuki PH. "Highfleet Motors is honored to be a part of Suzuki's journey in Baguio. This collaboration reflects our dedication to offering top-notch automotive solutions to the people of Baguio, aligning with Suzuki's reputation for excellence," Angheng said.
Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong was present during the opening ceremony of Suzuki Auto Baguio. Mayor Magalong believes that the new Suzuki dealership in the City of Pines will be beneficial both for Baguio residents as well as the city itself.
Magalong noted that Suzuki PH’s selection of compact vehicles is aligned with the city’s vision for sustainable and efficient urban mobility. He also said that Suzuki’s compact cars could be one of the solutions to alleviating traffic in the city of Baguio.
“Because of the huge problem of traffic in the city of Baguio, we acknowledge that one of the major solutions is to encourage our residents to use compact cars,” Mayor Magalong commented.
The S-Presso AGS is one of the compact cars in Suzuki PH’s current model lineup. It’s a pint-sized vehicle that’s powered by a new 1.0-liter K10C gasoline engine that delivers 67 horsepower and 90 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to Suzuki’s Auto Gear Shift (AGS) technology, which has an electronic actuator to shift gears. With the AGS, the driver no longer needs to manually step on the clutch pedal to change or shift gears.
The S-Presso AGS also has an Engine Auto Start Stop (EASS) system. The EASS shuts down the engine when you come to a complete stop, which could help you get better fuel economy. It also has the following safety features: electronic stability program, hill hold control, an anti-lock braking system with electronic brakeforce distribution, dual airbags, and rear parking sensors.
The Suzuki S-Presso AGS is priced at Php 660,000 while the variant equipped with a five-speed manual transmission is still available at Php 620,000.
The Suzuki Auto Baguio dealership is located at No. 5 Marcos Highway, Sto. Tomas Proper. The showroom and the service shop are open Monday to Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
