The paultan.org Auto Car Expo (ACE) returns for its 2024 edition co-sponsored by Carro and Time Energy’s Emit Solar this weekend, and the Setia City Convention Centre is the place to be this coming weekend of October 26-27, 2024 as this is where you can take advantage of a variety of year-end deals from the participating brands.
Mitsubishi is where you’ll want to look for some of the latest metal on the market, as you’ll be glad to know the third-generation Triton will be on display at the sales-driven event. In Malaysia, the third-generation Triton – sixth-generation pick-up truck from the brand – is offered in five variants; these are the Triton Single Cab, Triton MT, Triton AT GL, Triton AT Premium and Triton Athlete.
This new model has grown, and as such has become among the larger entrants in the pick-up truck segment, now measuring 5,360 mm long (55 mm longer than its predecessor), 1,930 mm wide (+115 mm) and 1,815 mm tall (+35 mm), while wheelbase is 3,130 mm (+130 mm). Looking for even more lugging room? the Triton Single Cab offers up a cargo tray that is 2,340 mm long and 1,580 mm wide, the largest in its segment.
More than just sheer size, the all-new Triton packs a new Megaframe chassis that is more rigid, along with revised suspension for improved ride comfort. Plump for the top Athlete variant, and you’ll also get electric power steering, along with the range-topping tune of 204 PS and 470 Nm of torque from its Hyperpower 4N16 2.4 litre turbodiesel engine.
A rich offering of equipment features here – infotainment comes courtesy of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via its touchscreen infotainment unit, joining a redesigned interior via the Mitsubishi Touch approach that espouses both grip comfort and sturdiness. A suite of advanced driver assistance systems also features to aid safety on the move, along with up to seven airbags on the top variants.
In addition to Mitsubishi, brands that will also be present at ACE 2024 are BYD, Toyota, Proton, Perodua, Ford, Volkswagen, and MG, together with Pro-Net’s eMas electric sub-brand.
Also joining the roster are BMW/MINI (through Auto Bavaria), Mercedes-Benz (through Hap Seng Star) and Volvo (through Sime Darby Swedish Auto and Sisma Auto). Multi-brand dealership EON will represent smart and Audi while Cycle & Carriage will bring Peugeot and Leapmotor. Two-wheelers are represented by BMW Motorrad, while Trapo will showcase its Exosystem range of products.
ACE 2024 is your best chance at gaining early access to the end-of-year promotions that will be laid out by participating brands. In addition to these brand promos, the first 200 customers to book a new car at ACE 2024 will be offered a RM3,000 combined voucher by paultan.org.
This consists of a RM500 V-Kool auto window film/auto coating voucher, a RM500 DodoMat voucher, a RM500 Blueair air purification solutions voucher, a RM500 DK Schweizer interior leather personalisation and customisation voucher, a RM500 Kuzig Glanz Detailing auto coating and paint protection film voucher and a RM500 The Carage self-healing liquid protection film service voucher.
Indeed, it all adds up to a generous serving of great deals to be had. The Setia City Convention Centre is therefore the place to be this weekend of October 26-27. Admission is free of charge.
