KUALA LUMPUR: Today is the final day of the StarCarSifu Auto Show 2025 at the ground floor concourse of Mid Valley Megamall, where car buyers and enthusiasts can take advantage of the latest offers, promotions and rebates.
Admission is free, and the autoshow is open from 10am to 10pm.
Participating automotive players are Stellantis (Leapmotor and Peugeot), Proton, Toyota, Bermaz (Mazda, Kia and XPeng), Sisma Auto (BYD), Motor Image (Subaru) and Zeekr.
You can look forward to an exciting range of the latest petrol-powered, hybrid and all-electric models.
Additionally, visitors will have the opportunity to test-drive select vehicles and receive gifts and discounts.
The latest sedans, hatchbacks, sports utility vehicles (SUVs), multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) and pick-up trucks are at the auto show.
Among the visitors was 60-year-old Kung, who was checking out the Toyota Corolla Cross HEV GR Sport.
Kung, who works in the information technology sector, said: “I am interested in hybrid cars. Rather than jumping straight to EVs (electric vehicles), hybrid cars may be more suitable for me.”
Meanwhile, 63-year-old pensioner Arif Stephen is interested in buying a new EV.
“There are quite a number of new and attractive cars here. I already own a battery electric SUV, and so far, it has been very nice – I have been using it for two years,” said Arif, adding that he is looking to buy a new all-electric MPV.
Another visitor was e-hailing driver Jas Tan, 43, who was taking a closer look at the Mazda CX-5.
“It’s a good idea for the autoshow to be here, as it is comfortable and easy for me to shop around. I want to look at the designs, technology and different powertrains of new cars,” said Tan.
From the line-up of Stellantis comes the new D-segment Leapmotor C10 electric SUV and C-segment Peugeot 408 GT fastback.
The C10 offers exceptional space and premium features and a WLTP driving range of 424km, at RM125,000 on-the-road, without insurance.
The 408 GT is priced at RM165,000 on-the-road, without insurance until Sept 30.
At the Proton booth, buyers of the all-new X50 B-segment SUV (for the first 10,000 bookings registered by Oct 31) can enjoy a RM4,000 rebate, financing as low as 2.35% per annum (for five years) or 2.38% per annum (for seven years), and up to RM2,000 trade-in support.
There are also attractive promotions for the Proton X70 SUV and S70 sedan, as well as rewards for staff from schools and educational institutions, hospitals and clinics; professionals in the banking and financial sectors; members of the uniformed sector (from the military, public services, and agencies); and fresh graduates.
At Toyota’s display, visitors can get up close and check out the promotions for the Vios (stylish and smart), Corolla Cross HEV GR Sport (hybrid efficiency) and rugged Hilux pick-up truck.
You’ll also have the chance to test drive two Toyota crowd favourites – Corolla Cross V (petrol) and Vios.
Meanwhile, Bermaz Auto, which distributes Mazda, Kia and Xpeng cars, is offering various rebates and promotions.
Furthermore, buyers of the Mazda CX-5, Kia Sportage or Xpeng G6 stand a chance for a lucky dip worth up to RM180,000 and attractive sign-up gifts.
Those who book a CX-5 (2.5G High/2.5G Turbo/2.2D High) will get a free 4D/3N trip to Japan, including a guided tour of the Mazda Heritage Museum in Hiroshima.
This is available for bookings made until Aug 31.
