KLIMS 2026: Perodua and the National Carmaker's EV Crossover MomentPerodua enters KLIMS 2026 as the reference point against which almost every other Malaysian automotive story is measured. With a 2025 sales performance that cleared 359,000 units, the national carmaker does not merely participate in the market—it defines the volume ceiling. At the show, the booth’s layout reflects this duality: the recently launched QV-E occupies the visual centre, yet the familia
KLIMS 2026: Proton X90 and the National Brand's Flagship AnchorAt KLIMS 2026, the Proton stand tells two stories at once. While the eMAS sub-brand courts Malaysia’s early EV adopters, the Proton X90 sits at the opposite end of the display as a reminder that the national carmaker’s immediate volume still flows from conventional powertrains.

KLIMS 2026: Xpeng and the Software-First EV Challenge in MalaysiaXpeng's arrival in Malaysia through Bermaz Auto is less about adding another electric vehicle to the showroom floor and more about introducing a software-centric mobility philosophy.

KLIMS 2026: MG QS Adds a Seven-Seat Family SUV to the Brand's Line-UpAt KLIMS 2026, MG's display should not be read only through its electric vehicles. The MG4 EV, ZS EV and S5 EV have already given the brand a clear electrified identity in Malaysia, especially after the S5 EV moved into local assembly. The QS plays a different role. It is a petrol-powered three-row SUV, and its main subjects are space, comfort, long-distance usability and family carrying capacity.
KLIMS 2026: TQ Wuling and the Affordable Urban EV's Local BetMost electric vehicles at KLIMS 2026 lean toward larger footprints and heavier price tags, yet TQ Wuling arrives with a deliberately different logic. The Bingo EV, launched in Malaysia in December 2025 with a launch positioning from RM62,800, does not chase the range or stature of mid-size electric SUVs. Instead, it targets a straightforward proposition: bringing battery-electric mobility beneath
