The recently concluded Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show 2024 (KLIMS 2024), which ran from December 5 to 11 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), saw 183,221 visitors attending the event across the seven day period.
The show’s 10th edition explored the theme “Beyond Mobility,” bringing sustainability and electrification to the forefront of innovation. More than 70 leading automotive and mobility brands took part, with brands such as Toyota, Perodua, Proton, Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Mazda, Kia, Great Wall Motor (GWM), MG Motor, XPeng, Aion, Peugeot, Leapmotor, Modenas, Kawasaki, Royal Enfield and Harley-Davidson present at the event.
Aside from new vehicle models, the show also saw an array of concept cars and prototypes going on display, with Toyota presenting innovations like the FT-3e, Land Cruiser SE, Hilux FCEV and the Kayoibako, while Nissan had the futuristic Hyper Tourer on show.
Over at Honda, there was the sleek Prelude Concept taking centre stage, alongside the compact and foldable Motocompacto electric scooter and the brand’s groundbreaking eVTOL flying car concept. Representing local ingenuity, Perodua showcased the eMO-II, its EV concept car as well as an Ativa Fuze concept.
KLIMS 2024 also delighted visitors with exciting prizes, including a Toyota Yaris 1.5G Limited and a Perodua Axia X, which were the top prizes. The Yaris was won by Mohd Azzarain Abdul Aziz, while Leaw Xiu Qi took home the Axia.
Exhibitors were celebrated for their creativity and design excellence, with the prestigious Best Booth Design Awards recognising winners across multiple categories. The Best Booth Design Awards were evaluated based on criteria including visual appeal with eye-catching graphics and clear brand representation in line with the “Beyond Mobility” theme.
They were also judged on efficient space utilisation encouraging visitor interaction, functionality to support product demonstrations and presentations, and interactivity through engaging elements like VR experiences, touch screens, and hands-on displays.
In the OEM category (400 sq. metres and above), UMW Toyota Motor claimed first place, with the Proton and Perodua displays claiming second and third place in that category. Meanwhile, Stellantis Malaysia bagged the top prize in the OEM category (399 sq. metres and below), while in the Non-OEM category, PECCA Leather took the top spot, with Wedrink Enterprise Management (Malaysia) securing second place and Didi Group taking third place.
“KLIMS 2024 stands as a testament to Malaysia’s expanding influence in the global mobility landscape. From cutting-edge automotive technologies to visionary prototypes, KLIMS 2024 exemplified Malaysia’s commitment to shaping the future of transportation. This milestone reaffirms our position as a key player in the global mobility ecosystem, inspiring collaboration and innovation across industries,” said Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) president Mohd Shamsor Mohd Zain.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Hardly any brands.
Definitely a failure. So little crowd
No cewek sure
No steam lo
These numbers are peanuts
To their advantage they’ll say ‘not a motorshow, but a mobility show’
FAILED EVENT LOL
My verdict is that it was disappointing. Not many brands. No Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volvo, Citroen, Hyundai, BYD, Tesla. Stellantis booth like very small. You can forget about supercars or hypercars too. The showstopper for me was the MG cybersteer. TCM only show the kicks when Nissan got so many types of vehicles like Z sport cars and GTR.
How to compete with Bangkok at this rate.
Failed event. Nothing much really. Not much accessories on display or selling. Mostly hyped up tint prices offering at so-called “discount”. Waste of time and money spent.
Really disappointing this year, only mg was the one that really put in the most effort. The others were cars we’ve already seen before.
Not worth it for RM25 per entry / day. Might as well sit at home watch YouTube better. Yawn.
Maybe for the younger generations or those wanting to look at “hyped” up cars and models. The Thai and Tokyo motor show are many many times better. Singapore one is better, free admission. Thai one is 100 Baht (about RM13), half the price, and more than double/triple the cars.
Worst attendance recorded for klims?
This was my first visit to KLIMS in 2024 and thinking this would be the bigger event…looking at the brands which was listed it was very small there was none EU branded cars as well other major big brands.
Kindly requesting the authorities to improve in coming years which would be a something similar to Bangkok motor show.
One full week only draw 180k visitors? That’s pathetic.
It used to be a anticipated event. Now they just do for the sake of doing it.
looks like this program kena Tokyo Auto Salon 2024 tapao ya?
only 183K visitors? what is the use of a show in 7 days only these many visitors? other shows globally attract millions of visitors. no brands and only dealers attend. very disappointed that P2 used Bufori garage shop for their fiber work and gave them room to promote their cut and paste ideas.
