KUALA LUMPUR: Be sure to visit the StarCarSifu Auto Show 2026 this weekend at the ground-floor concourse of Mid Valley Megamall, where attractive promotions, special deals and test drives await.

Today’s visitors stand the chance to interact with Hong Kong TVB actor Tsui Wing at the “Fan Meet and Greet Experience”, with Malaysian radio host Jie Ying as a special guest at the Chery booth located at the East Atrium from 12pm to 1pm.

Running until tomorrow, 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 61-year-old housewife Fadzilah Hamdan, who was ­taking a closer look at the ORA 5 HEV (hybrid electric vehicle).

“I like SUVs. I prefer EVs as they are powerful, quiet and better for the environment. I think the compact size of the ORA 5 HEV is sui­table for lady drivers,” said Fadzilah, who added that the auto show has a good selection of automotive brands and cars, all under one roof.

“It is quite convenient and I do not need to visit different car showrooms,” she added.

A 67-year-old businessman, who wished to be known only as Lee, was checking out the ORA 5 HEV and GWM TANK 300 HEV.

“The designs look nice and the interiors have a premium feel,” said Lee.

He added that he may consider hybrid cars as he has concerns about the availability of public EV charging points.

Another visitor, a 67-year-old retiree, who wished to be known only as Chan, was checking out the Chery Tiggo 9 together with his friends.

“We are here to look and do car comparisons. The technology, features and prices – especially the Chinese models – of the cars here are quite attractive. The Jetour T2 is an attractive model for me,” he said.

“The location is good and we can take our time to get a hands-on experience with the cars here,” Chan added.

Meanwhile, insurance agent Chris Lau, 33, took an interest in the GWM TANK 300 HEV.

“I like SUVs and prefer hybrids as they are more fuel economical. There are many interesting ­models here,” she said.
