KUALA LUMPUR: The third day of the StarCarSifu Auto Show 2026 is underway at the ground-floor concourse of Mid Valley Megamall, with attractive promotions, special deals and test drives in store for visitors.
Running until Aug 16, the auto show is open from 10am to 10pm daily, with free admission.
Those who book a vehicle during the show also stand a chance to win cash vouchers worth up to RM5,000 under the Book & Win campaign.
Visitors can explore trendy cars with powertrains including internal combustion engines, hybrids and battery electric vehicles.
Among the participating automotive players are BYD, Chery, GWM, Jetour, Leapmotor, Nissan and Proton.
Car enthusiasts can get up close with the latest sedans, electric vehicles (EVs), sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), among others.
Among the visitors yesterday was 41-year-old graphic designer Mohd Saiful Ithnin, who was taking a closer look at the Jetour VT9 seven-seater SUV.
“As a family man, I am interested in looking at the MPV choices here. I still prefer petrol-powered cars as I regularly travel outstation, and there are areas where EV charging points are not available.
“I think this auto show offers a good selection of the latest car models with new technologies,” he added.
Meanwhile, a 64-year-old retiree who wished to be known only as Agnes, was checking out the Nissan Serena e-Power MPV.
“I like the Serena as it is a seven-seater, and the design is elegant. The price is also within my budget. The auto show’s location is convenient, and we can shop and have lunch here too,” she said.
Another visitor, a consultant who wished to be known only as Sanath, was checking out the BYD Atto 3 Premium variant.
“I prefer petrol-powered cars, especially SUVs. But here, there are many attractive EVs. I also like the minimalist looks of the Leapmotor models, which I think offer many attractive features and good value. The BYD model is also nice.”
Retiree Rizal Johan, 50, took a keen interest in the GWM TANK 300 HEV.
“There are many SUVs and EVs here to check out. And GWM’s hybrid technology is interesting,” he said.
