Jimny Hub, a subsidiary brand of Rugged Rigs offering aftermarket products specifically for the Suzuki Jimny, showcased off-road-ready Jimny 3-Door and 5-Door vehicles at the first StreetShow Garage event held last August 31, 2024, at the Metrotent Convention Center in Pasig City.
Suzuki Philippines is a co-presenter of the first-ever 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 StreetShow Garage event.
“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.
Mr. Takei also acknowledged all Jimny customers for their continued support, which is 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.”
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 are a testament that the Jimny is a true off-roader that you can take to drive through tough terrain and a perfect vehicle for camping adventures.
Speaking of adventures, The Jimny Hub announced that it will be holding the much-anticipated JimnyFest, the largest gathering of Jimny owners in the Philippines, in February 2025 at Nueva Ecija. Expect more details about the JimnyFest in the coming months.
On the other hand, Suzuki Philippines offered eventgoers the chance to get behind the wheel of the all-new Jimny 5-Door. Two Jimny 5-door units were made available for test drives, 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.
