As the inaugural Malaysia Motor Expo (MME) 2022 gets into the swing of things at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) here are a few ‘electrifying’ reasons for you to grace the event!
From now until Nov 13, this year’s MME can expect to find nine major car brands including Ford, Great Wall Motor (GWM) Malaysia, Hyundai, KIA, Mazda, Perodua, Peugeot, Subaru and Volvo with more promised for next year!
Found within Hall 4 of KLCC this weekend, here are some of MME 2022 latest electrified offerings starting with GWM’s fully-electric hatchback – the Ora Good Cat – a literal translation from Ora “Haomao” in China.
Although prices of the Ora Good Cat have yet to be announced, it is estimated that this could be Malaysia’s most affordable all-electric hatchback once it arrives with four variants for choice and a price tag that could start from under the RM150,000 mark.
Slated for arrival in Malaysia within the coming weeks, GWM – China’s largest sports utility vehicle (SUV) and pickup truck manufacturer, has officially announced it will be opening its order books during MME 2022 from Nov 12 onwards.
Patrons will have the opportunity to pre-book the Ora Haomao during MME 2022 and be among the first to purchase the Ora Good Cat once it receives its official launch date.
Colour options for the Ora Good Cat are available in two colours of HR Blue and Hamilton White. Likewise, there will also be three two-toned colours, namely Hamilton White with Sun Black, L5 Green with Hamilton White and EM Beige with Wisdom Brown.
While sporting a “neo-retro” design and boasting up to 500km of emissions-free range (depending on variant), the Ora Good Cat is also able to attract through some notable features.
This includes an automated parking system for parallel and reversing in, automatic full LED headlights with integrated daytime running lights, 18-inch alloy wheels, advanced driver assist systems, a 360-degree camera system, six airbags, adaptive cruise control and cornering brake control among others.
Meanwhile, from Bermaz Auto (BAuto) Bhd, the official distributor and after-sales provider of three internationally renowned marques in Malaysia come KIA, Mazda and Peugeot which will be providing MME 2022 patrons with both electrified and petrol-powered options.
KIA is currently featuring its first fully-electric SUV – specifically the all-wheel-driven EV6 GT Line, that’s been fully imported from South Korea.
With up to 506km of range, this electric vehicle (EV) has been priced at RM300,668 (on-the-road) and comes equipped with automatic full-LED projector headlights with keyless-entry and push-start button, sunroof, powered tailgate, LED cabin lights, paddle-shifters, wireless charging, powered front passenger and driver seats, seven airbags and a full list of ADAS which includes Smart Cruise control (stop and go) system.
Mazda too has brought its EV in form of the MX-30 with its e-Skyactiv powertrain that allows it to travel up to 199km on a full charge, it comes priced from almost RM200,000 with two variants for choice.
This electrified crossover comes replete with LEDs for all external and internal lights, automatic wipers, 18-inch alloys, keyless-entry with push-start button, a new three-LCD screen setup for the cabin, suicide door setup (much like from the RX-8), sustainable trim materials made from cork and recycled PET bottles and even a Bose sound system.
Don’t forget to visit the International Automodified (IAM) show at Hall 2 from Nov 12 to 13, and stick around to enjoy the HINGirlfriends parade, HINGF Runway Fashion parade and DJ performances by Felix and JJ, Emocandy, Angela, Jenni F, Alexis and the Leng Sisters.
Tickets are available for on-ground purchase during the event at RM20 per adult, while children of ages 12 and under will be allowed to enter free of charge and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.
Selected lucky MME patrons will stand a chance to win a Petron fuel voucher worth RM100 by taking part in a simple questionnaire during the three-day event.
The RM100 fuel voucher will be credited to the winner’s new/existing Petron Value Card app that’s available for download for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
About MME
The organisers of MME began their activities more than 11 years ago and the event was first branded as the NST CARnival.
The show’s activities were suspended for more than two years, due to the Covid-19 global pandemic, and along with its resumption, the organisers were able to secure an exclusive endorsement from Malaysia Automotive Robotics and Internet of Things (MARii) – an automotive-focussed agency under the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.
Doing so helped to bring about the inaugural MME which was exclusively sponsored by Grantt Lubricants as the Official Lubricant Partner, Petron as the Official Fuel Partner and Shopee as the Official e-Commerce Partner.
