Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is the place to be from August 4 to 6, as three brands have special launches and displays around the bustling city. 

Expect to see multiple displays and activities to be held near or at the High Street area, with Toyota Philippines set to launch the all-new Toyota Yaris Cross, Lexus with its display of electrified vehicles, and Audi, which is set to launch the all-new Audi Q8 e-tron.

That said, here is what you can expect, along with the event details from each automaker. 

Audi

Audi Philippines will be launching its all-new Audi Q8 e-tron SUV in BGC. The new electric-only SUV brings a new look and features and boasts improvements to its efficiency and range. 

Its battery capacity and charging performance have been increased, allowing for an optimal balance between energy density and charging capacity. Audi has also tweaked the motors and power steering to be more progressive. The chassis control systems have also been revised to give it better dynamic driving characteristics. 

Aside from the launch, the German brand will hold the Audi Driving Experience from August 4 to 6 at the 30th East B Open Parking in Bonifacio Global City. There, eventgoers can experience a series of driving activities designed to showcase the capabilities and advantages offered by Audi’s electrified models and dispel any misconceptions about the brand’s 100% electricity driving range.

Toyota 

Toyota Motor Philippines is set to launch the 2024 Toyota Yaris Cross on August 4 to 6 at the BGC High Street Amphitheater at 11 AM. The new Yaris Cross will close the market gap between the Toyota Raize and the Toyota Corolla Cross while bringing in hybrid power at a more affordable price range.
