I attended the media briefing for the upcoming Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show 2026 (KLIMS 2026) and it will be on for ten (10) days starting 12 to 21 June 2026. The venua fir this is at MITEC, the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), in Kuala Lumpur.
From what I gather, this is an automotive/ mobility themed lifestyle experience with everything from a car show featuring vehicles from at least 18 car brands including Malaysian brands Perodua, Proton (featuring Proton & also Smart) as well as brands from China and Japan. Unfortunately, it seems the European car brands will not be participating so it's very much an Asian only car show.
But since there is also the aftermarket section to this mobility show, I predict we should see some private participation featuring tuned Euro cars. But it is a shame, as sometimes, things that are out of sight are out of mind
Anyhow, there will be many other activities and participating automotive brands at KLIMS 2026 (you can see the brands in the photo above). From a music fest, food, Pokémon Go and other stuff, it should be quite a treat for attendees.
Do read the official press release below, as there are actually free days during weekdays for you to attend if you don't want to pay for a ticket.
