We’re just a week away from the paultan.org Premium Auto Car Expo (PACE) – co-sponsored by Carro and RHB Bank – which returns to the Setia City Convention Centre (SCCC) on July 19 and 20 from 9am to 7pm. As you will have already known, Hyundai has recently been relaunched in the Malaysian market, and one of the new models it is bringing to the show is the facelifted Hyundai Tucson.
The freshly-revamped C-segment SUV receives a sharper, more rugged look, retaining the signature hidden Parametric Jewel daytime running lights but adding new front and rear bumpers that visually widen the car’s stance. The completely redesigned interior, meanwhile, has a horizontal design to promote a sense of openness and features a new curved display panel with dual 12.3-inch instrument and infotainment screens.
Arguably the biggest news for the Malaysian market is the addition of a new range-topping 1.6 T-GDi Hybrid variant, which pairs the regular 1.6 T-GDi petrol engine with an electric motor and a six-speed automatic gearbox for a total of 235 PS and 367 Nm of torque, improving both performance and fuel efficiency. The Tucson can be had with either front- or all-wheel drive and a full complement of Hyundai SmartSense driver assists, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Smart Cruise Control and Lane Following Assist.
Hyundai is just one of the myriad of brands being showcased at PACE 2025 – BMW and MINI (both represented by Auto Bavaria), Mercedes-Benz (represented by Hap Seng Star), Audi, BYD, Denza, Kia, Mazda, Xpeng, GWM and Zeekr will all be participating in the event. Two-wheelers will also be present in the shape of BMW Motorrad, while Kineta and Trapo will also be showing their wares.
Aside from the bountiful deals on offer from each brand, there are also great giveaways in store from us at paultan.org. The first 200 people to place a booking on a new car will walk away with RM3,000 worth of vouchers from our supporting partners, including Solar Gard, Dodomat, The Carage, Kuzig Glanz, Gintell and DK Schweizer.
The RM3,000 worth of vouchers will also be given to the first 40 bike bookings, and that’s not all. Confirm your new car booking and you will be entered into a lucky draw that will win you prizes including ten smartphones worth RM3,500 each and the grand prize – a holiday package for two worth RM25,000!
With the best deals from the brands, guaranteed vouchers and many rewards in store, there’s no better place to purchase a car than at PACE 2025. Once again, the annual show will be happening from July 19-20, 9am to 7pm at SCCC. See you there!
