Hundreds of Suzuki car owners are ready to “herd” Victoria
Hyundai has N Festival and Isuzu has I-Venture Club. Currently, Suzuki has the Herd.
Slated to arrive at Narbethong in Victoria this weekend, the owners’ gathering features games, charity raffles and drives.
No, the driving won’t take place off-road – Suzuki says some of its bikes aren’t designed to go off the beaten path and no one will be left behind.
However, we still want to see one FastBaleno and Kizashi tried to follow Jimny on a rough terrain road…
Suzuki expects more than 200 cars and 400 people to turn up, with many of the cars having been in Australia for more than five decades.
The brand will host similar events across Australia this year, after launching the concept with an exclusive design for the Jimny Meet again in 2023.
New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia were packed and the event in Victoria was sold out but registrations remained open for Queensland and Tasmania.
Owners’ meetings and events have become a popular way for car brands to engage with their most enthusiastic buyers in Australia.
At Hyundai, the annual N Festival sees hundreds of owners take to the track to enjoy a weekend of gasoline-fueled noise and speed, while the Isuzu I-Venture Club helps help D-Max And MU-X Owners go further off-road with training and guiding trips.
Most German luxury car brands also organize driving days for their high-performance brands, allowing buyers to experience their cars at speeds that might leave you stranded on the highway speed in Australia.
