The Malaysian Auto Show (MAS 2024) will be held from May 22 to 26 at the Selangor Agriculture Expo Park (MAEPS) in Malaysia, it is hosted by the Malaysian Institute of Automotive, Robotics and Internet of Things (MARii), and the exhibition area is expanded to 40,000 square meters. This exhibition will showcase the latest automotive technology that covers areas such as internal combustion engines and electric vehicles, and through the presentation of the NAP2020 policy, it will present the future development direction of the automotive industry. In addition to presenting the latest models and energy-saving vehicles, two exhibition halls will be set up to display motorcycles. Furthermore, the event will offer special offers and financing options, as well as interesting test drive routes and a wealth of outdoor activities.
Development Trajectory of the Auto Show: A Long Journey and Constant Change
Since the first appearance of the ASEAN Auto Show in 2015, the Malaysian Auto Show has come a long way. In 2015, as the rotating chairman of ASEAN, Malaysia proudly hosted this event at the Mines International Exhibition & Convention Centre to showcase His Highness the Sultan's classic car collection and set up an off-road demonstration track.
In 2016, the auto show was officially renamed the Malaysia Auto Show, and electric cars and buses were exhibited for the first time with over 60+ models on display.
In 2017, for the first time, the auto show was moved to the MAEPS in Serdang, Malaysia. More than 170 exhibitors participated and a 3 km test-drive route was introduced, enriching event activities and visitor experience.
In 2018, the auto show continued at MAEPS, which featured a smart mobility experience, free vehicle inspection, obstacle races, and off-road driving experience. The 3km test-drive track became a major highlight, providing vehicle enthusiasts with an immersive experience.
The 2019 auto show displayed over 100 models and introduced activities like the International Auto Modified (IAM), 3 km test drive, MARii mobile hall, autonomous vehicle challenge, and more. Nobody could predict that it would be the last auto show before the COVID-19 pandemic, which was only recovered until 2023.
Victorious Return and Expansion in 2023
After the pause due to COVID-19, the 2023 Malaysia Auto Show made a victorious return. It became the largest auto show and displayed more than 200 models. For a better experience, the show also added a dedicated motorcycle exhibition hall and extended the test drive to 4.5 kilometers, making it the longest in auto show history.
Future Outlook: Continuous Innovation and Development
The Malaysia Auto Show has demonstrated strong resilience and vitality, ushering in hope for the future amid constant adaptation and development. With constant adjustments and growth in the future, this event will continue to bring more innovative and exciting experiences to car enthusiasts in Malaysia and even the world. Let us look forward to the 2024 Malaysia Auto Show together, to explore the future of the automotive industry!

2026 Toyota Hilux Travo released, the brand-new exterior and interior are highly anticipated
If you're considering buying a Hilux, honestly, the comprehensive innovations in the ninth generation are worth waiting for. While the current model might still have some advantages in terms of reliability and price, the new model offers significant changes in terms of exterior and interior luxury, tech features, and powertrain options.
Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Which one is better, Honda City or Toyota Vios?
When choosing a compact sedan, Honda City and Toyota Vios are often two options that make people weigh repeatedly. You might be attracted to the dynamic design of the Vios but also be captivated by the City.
Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
