Kia’s presence at KLIMS 2026 carries a weight that extends beyond any single specification sheet. With Kia Sales Malaysia Sdn Bhd now steering local operations from 1 January 2026, the brand is attempting to reset its narrative in a market where consumer memory of previous distributor transitions still lingers. The Sportage sits at the heart of this recovery strategy, flanked by the Carnival facel

Perodua 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

At 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. As the flagship of Proton’s SUV line, positioned above the X70, the X90 carries the responsibility of stretching the bran

At KLIMS 2026, much of the conversation around the Proton stand gravitates toward the newer metal. The recently updated S70 sedan carries the brand's latest four-cylinder turbocharged narrative, while the eMAS sub-brand draws curiosity with its electric ambition. Yet the Proton X50 remains a fixture of the display, and its presence speaks to a different, equally important chapter of the national c

Xpeng'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. While the market has grown accustomed to Chinese EVs led by BYD's volume play, Xpeng positions itself as the technology-forward alternative where intelligent driving assistance, continuous over-the-air updates, and ca

At 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.

Most 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

Bermaz Xpeng Sdn Bhd has officially introduced the 2026 Xpeng X9 facelift just before KLIMS 2026. With an updated look and comfort-focused features, the X9 also starts marginally cheaper.

In two days’ time, the biennial 2026 Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (2026 KLIMS) will return. And like the last round, this motor show will be held at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC).

The 2026 Honda Civic has been updated in Japan, coming with a few choice touches adopted from the soon-to-be-launched-in-Malaysia Prelude.

The first locally-assembled (CKD) units of the Xpeng G6 have officially rolled off the production line at EPMB's manufacturing plant in Melaka, which also means it dodges the ministry of investment, trade and industry's (MITI) CBU EV pricing policy that comes into effect on July 1, 2026.

Would be owners of the Suzuki Jimny would be keen to note that Suzuki Cars Malaysia has introduced two, well-specced variants of the popular SUV here: the Jimny Allgrip Plus, and the Jimny Rhino Plus. Fully imported (CBU Japan), these three-door variants add more safety features and uprated conveniences.

Suzuki Cars Malaysia has cut prices of the 2026 Suzuki Fronx Hybrid in Malaysia, with the base model seeing prices slashed to RM 118,888 on-the-road without insurance. To recap, when it first entered the local market last November, it debuted at RM 147,888.

Sime Darby Auto ConneXion-Ford, the sole distributor of Ford vehicles in Malaysia, has expanded its local sports utility vehicle (SUV) portfolio with the introduction of three new variants: the Everest Platinum 3.0L, Everest Platinum 2.0L, and the Everest Sport 2.0L.

The upgraded, much-awaited 2026 BYD Atto 3 facelift has just been launched in Malaysia. More than just a simple facelift, this variant introduces a host of mechanical upgrades, including a change of drivetrain.
