Saturday Open Day April 12, 2025
Date: Saturday, April 12, 2025, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Special Talk Event: "10th Anniversary of the 4th Generation Demio"
Session 1: 11:00 AM – 11:50 AM (Scheduled)
Session 2: 1:30 PM – 2:20 PM (Scheduled)
The 4th generation Demio, launched in 2014, was developed with the ambition to "break class boundaries." It was designed not only for fuel efficiency but also to deliver outstanding design, driving performance, and functionality—aiming to be a compact car that owners could take pride in.
At this special event, three key figures from the development team—Ayumu Doi and Koji Noma, the product chiefs at the time, and Ryo Yanagisawa, the chief designer—will look back on the appeal of the 4th generation Demio.
We are accepting questions and topic requests! Please write your request in the "Special Requests" section when making your reservation.
