Suzuki Philippines was a co-presenter of the first StreetShow Garage event, showing its support and commitment to the Jimny community, owners, and enthusiasts. Suzuki Philippines Director and General Manager for Automobile Division, Norihide Takei, graced the event and recognized The Jimny Hub and all participants for the successful staging of the event. 

Takei acknowledged all Jimny customers for their continued support, which was among the key factors that drive Suzuki Philippines to keep on striving to exceed expectations and “ensure that every Suzuki owner feels supported throughout their journey.”

“I want to express our heartfelt thanks to The Jimny Hub for bringing together all the amazing companies that help make the Jimny experience so exciting for our customers. Your dedication and passion are what make events like this possible,” Mr. Takei said during his speech at the StreetShow Garage event.

The event featured customized Jimny 3-door and 5-door vehicles, equipped with off-road aftermarket kits as well as overlanding accessories. The vehicles on display at the show were a testament that the Jimny was a true off-roaderand a perfect vehicle for camping adventures.

Two Jimny 5-door units were made available for test-drives during the event, allowing attendees to experience what it’s like to drive the legendary off-roader. Suzuki Philippines’ representatives were also present during the event to address both sales and technical inquiries from potential customers.

The Jimny Hub also announced that it would be holding the much-anticipated JimnyFest — the largest gathering of Jimny owners in the Philippines — at Nueva Ecija in February 2025.
