KLIMS 2026 Is More Than a Motor Show — Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Miss Malaysia’s Biggest Mobility Event
The countdown to the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2026 has officially begun, and this year’s edition is shaping up to be much more than a traditional automotive exhibition.
Returning to the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) from 12 to 21 June 2026, KLIMS 2026 carries forward its theme, “Beyond Mobility”, reflecting how transportation is evolving beyond vehicles into a broader ecosystem of technology, sustainability, connectivity, and lifestyle.
While visitors can expect to see some of the latest vehicle launches, concept cars, and mobility innovations from leading automotive brands, the event’s biggest attraction may be its ability to offer something for everyone, whether you’re a hardcore car enthusiast, a technology lover, a gamer, or simply looking for a family-friendly weekend activity.
Nearly Every Major Automotive Brand Under One Roof
Occupying almost 30,000 square metres across seven exhibition halls, KLIMS 2026 will showcase an extensive lineup of local and international automotive brands.
National marques Proton and Perodua will headline alongside global manufacturers including Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia, MG, GWM, Zeekr, Xpeng, Jetour, Dongfeng, Wuling, Maxus, Smart, and many more.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the latest generation of electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid technologies, alternative energy solutions, and future mobility concepts that are expected to shape the next decade of transportation.
For those curious about Malaysia’s rapidly growing EV landscape, KLIMS 2026 could be one of the most comprehensive showcases of electrification technologies seen in the country this year.
More Than Just Static Displays
Unlike conventional motor shows where visitors simply walk around viewing vehicles, KLIMS 2026 focuses heavily on interactive experiences.
One of the biggest highlights is the availability of over 60 vehicles for public test drives, allowing visitors to experience various models before making purchasing decisions.
Meanwhile, the specially designed Urban Play obstacle course aims to demonstrate the capabilities of modern SUVs and 4×4 vehicles through a controlled off-road challenge that brings adventure driving into the city.
These hands-on experiences transform the show from a simple exhibition into a real-world mobility playground.
A Festival Experience for Enthusiasts and Families
KLIMS 2026 is also embracing lifestyle and entertainment culture in a much bigger way.
Automotive enthusiasts can look forward to the Modified Car Battle, where custom-built vehicles from across the country compete for recognition and prizes. Car club gatherings featuring more than 200 vehicles are also expected to become one of the largest community showcases during the event.
For visitors who enjoy gaming and simulation experiences, KLIMS will feature race simulators, flight simulators, RC drift tracks, RC off-road courses, and various interactive technology attractions.
Collectors and hobbyists will find dedicated sections featuring die-cast collectibles, automotive merchandise, and specialty hobby vendors.
Live Performances, Pokémon Activities and Community Experiences
A major addition to KLIMS 2026 is its collaboration with lifestyle platform Riuh, bringing entertainment and community engagement directly into the show.
Throughout the event, visitors can enjoy performances by Malaysian artists including FUGŌ, Kyoto Protocol, Adrian Danial, and TY:DEL, alongside drumline showcases, dance performances, live automotive podcast recordings, and hobby-focused activities.
Families with children will also appreciate the presence of the Pokémon Pokopia Truck, offering themed games and interactive experiences that extend KLIMS beyond its automotive roots.
The result is an event that feels equally like a mobility exhibition, technology showcase, lifestyle festival, and family day out.
Industry Insights Beyond the Show Floor
KLIMS 2026 is not only about entertainment and vehicle displays.
Visitors can attend Pocket Talks conducted by industry experts covering topics such as automotive technology, future mobility trends, sustainability, education pathways, and smart city development.
These sessions provide valuable insights into where the automotive industry is heading and how mobility innovations will influence everyday life in the years ahead.
