My Auto Fest 2016's “Buy a car, Win a car” contest winner drives home a Nissan Almera 1.5VL worth RM82,000


Today was a very wet and gloomy Tuesday morning for most parts of the Klang Valley. But over at the Edaran Tan Chong Nissan Showroom in Glenmarie it was all bright and happy as someone was handed over the key to a brand new Nissan Almera 1.5VL with a NISMO Aerokit. Mohd Shafiq Saipollah, who visited the My Auto Fest show to get the best deal on a pick–up truck got more than he bargained for when he emerged as the winner in the “Buy a Car, Win a Car” grand prize lucky draw.

INDUSTRY NEWS: MY AUTO FEST 2016 nets about RM20 million worth of bookings.


 The recent My Auto Fest 2016 which was held over the weekend of 20th to the 22nd May 2016 was quite a success according to its organisers, the Malaysian Automotive Association. The sales driven auto show actually netted about RM20 million worth of bookings which I hope translates into actual sales after this. It was also the platform for various car manufacturers to preview their products.

More MY Auto Fest 2016 deals: BMW, FORD, DAIHATSU, PERODUA, NISSAN, JAGUAR LAND ROVER, SUBARU VOLVO, MERCEDES BENZ



The My Auto Fest 2016 is on from the 20th to the 22nd of May 2016. There you will find many deals, food, merchandise and test drive of many models outside the event hall (photo below). No. This isn't some huge, mega motor show. At least we have quite a proper one with new car previews - the new Honda Civic was properly previewed, Peugeot had a 408 e-THP, Proton teased the Perdana, Hyundai brought out the IONIQ Hybrid. Something different. There even was a Tesla outside courtesy of GreenTech. And you can win a Nissan Almera if you book a car there. It is on till tomorrow.

TRUCK NEWS: TATA Trucks at My Auto Fest 2016


One of the surprises at the Malaysian Automotive Association's My Auto Fest 2016 is the appearance of TATA. It was surprising as they mainly sell commercial vehicles and it wasn't actually a Truck and Bus show. But I was glad there was something more than just cars, MPVs and SUVs there. TATA showcased their fairly new to Malaysia Prima 4038.S 4X2 Prime Mover truck and the smaller TATA 512 short wheelbase. 

Toyota, Volkswagen & Jeep at the My Auto Fest 2016

Toyota

Toyota had decided to set up quite a display with the newly launched Hilux (above) and Fortuner (below) at My Auto Fest 2016. You can see that this time Toyota spent a little bit more money in differentiating the two models. The dashboard of the Hilux, whilst so much more improved than the previous model is similar to the Fortuner but lacks more premium touches like the real stitched leather covering the top of the instrument binnacle and it also lacks the digital air conditioning controls. There is more effort spent on the vehicles. 

Hyundai at the My Auto Fest 2016: The IONIQ Hybrid is displayed and promo details




Hyundai Sime Darby Motors had decided that My Auto Fest 2016 would be an appropriate time to preview their latest hybrid car in Malaysia. The Hyundai IONIQ is the company's first full hybrid plaftorm that comes in three forms - the IONIQ Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid and the Full Electric. They had the IONIQ Plug-in Hybrid on display for all to see.

My Auto Fest 2016: Peugeot previews the new 408 e-THP sedan at the NAZA Group display with other Peugeot, Kia and Citroen cars



Naza Group had a strong presence at MY Auto Fest 2016. They brought Peugeot, Kia and Citroen this time around with the soon to be launched all-new Peugeot 408 e-THP sedan (above) sitting quietly in the middle of the cars that were displayed. 

Proton Suprima Crossover Concept displayed at My Auto Fest 2016, the Proton Perdana teased and other deals



Proton has displayed something new at the My Auto Fest 2016 auto show at Mines International Exhibition and Convention Center. It is a Proton Suprima Active crossover concept car. Like the Proton Iriz Crossover concept before this (also displayed), the Suprima Crossover gets slightly taller profile tyres and a slightly raised ride height (it looks taller from the front and rear instead of from the side). There are also roof rails and more plastic cladding front, side and rear. 

Tenth Generation Honda Civic previewed at the MY AUTO FEST 2016 - My Opinion and the other Honda deals there



Honda Malaysia has decided to preview the all new tenth generation Honda Civic. This cannot happen sooner actually as I cannot wait for Honda to stop selling the current model and start selling this new one. This new Civic was swarmed with people when they lifted the black cloth covering the car. Everyone was super excited and wanted to view the car and had their camera and camera phones out.
