Ending this Thursday, 15 May, MAS 2025 is an annual event where major car brands showcase their newest and most exciting vehicles.

For those unable to attend the event in MAEPS Serdang, here's a rundown of some of the key highlights that have been making waves at the autoshow.

JAECOO Malaysia announced its rebranding to OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia, marking its first anniversary and aligning with Chery's global strategy. They also previewed the new OMODA C7 Neo Crossover.

Another interesting debut in the EV scene comes from iCAUR, a new electric vehicle brand born from a collaboration between Chinese automaker Chery and Xiaomi's subsidiary, Smartmi Tech.

Targeting a younger crowd who want to make a statement, iCAUR aims for striking designs, smart tech, and versatility. Their V23 model definitely stands out with a bold, almost futuristic look — think sharp lines and unique lights, hinting at city driving with a touch of off-road capability, like an electric Suzuki Jimny with a strong personality.

Tesla showcased the brand-new Model Y, drawing attention with a fascinating light show. The display also highlights Tesla's advancements in artificial intelligence, with Optimus, their Tesla Bot, greeting people at the entrance.

Taking place on Monday, 12 May, Malaysia's largest Tesla Lightshow featured over 200 Tesla vehicles in a synchronised display of lights and music, forming a huge Tesla logo at MAEPS Square. This spectacular event aimed to break last year's record and wowed the audience with a celebration of the exciting world of electric vehicles.
