If you’ve been looking for an excuse to spend a few hours wandering around shiny new cars, futuristic tech, and enough horsepower to make your inner petrolhead grin, the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2026 is probably it.
Returning to MITEC from 12 to 21 June, this year’s show isn’t just about concept cars and industry talk. Visitors are getting a first look at several highly anticipated models making their Malaysian debut, from high-performance EVs and luxury MPVs to rugged plug-in hybrids designed for road trips and weekend adventures.
Whether you’re shopping for your next ride or simply enjoy admiring vehicles you’ll probably never park in your driveway, here are five new launches worth putting on your KLIMS 2026 checklist.
Jetour T2 i-DM: The Rugged SUV With A Plug-In Hybrid Twist
The boxy off-roader trend isn’t slowing down anytime soon, and Jetour is jumping right in with the T2 i-DM.
Making its Malaysian debut at KLIMS 2026, the plug-in hybrid SUV combines rugged styling with electrified efficiency. Jetour says the T2 i-DM can deliver up to 1,200km of combined driving range, making it an attractive option for Malaysians who enjoy long-distance road trips without constantly hunting for charging stations. Bookings are already open, with an estimated price tag of RM168,888.
With its chunky design, squared-off silhouette and adventurous image, the T2 i-DM looks ready for everything from city commutes to weekend getaways in the great outdoors.
Hyundai Ioniq 6 N: When EVs Decide To Have Fun
Think electric vehicles are all about efficiency and saving the planet? Hyundai’s Ioniq 6 N would like a word.
The high-performance electric sedan brings Hyundai’s N performance division into the EV era with aggressive styling, sports car levels of acceleration and enough power to keep enthusiasts interested.
While most EV conversations revolve around range and charging times, the Ioniq 6 N is all about putting a smile on the driver’s face. It’s a reminder that the future of mobility doesn’t have to be boring.
For visitors who still think electric cars are just appliances, this could be one of the biggest eye-openers at the show.
Zeekr 009 Grand: First-Class Travel On Four Wheels
Luxury MPVs have become the preferred mode of transport for executives, celebrities and anyone who enjoys being chauffeured around in absolute comfort.
The Zeekr 009 Grand takes that concept and cranks it up several notches.
Making its Malaysian debut at KLIMS 2026, the ultra-luxury four-seater electric MPV comes loaded with features including executive lounge-style seats, a massive entertainment screen, privacy-focused rear cabin and enough premium materials to make some luxury hotel suites jealous.
This isn’t just a people mover. It’s basically a business-class flight that happens to travel on Malaysian roads.
Zeekr 9X: The SUV That Wants To Do Everything
Sharing the spotlight with the 009 Grand is the all-new Zeekr 9X, the brand’s flagship SUV and its first plug-in hybrid model.
The full-size luxury SUV combines a turbocharged petrol engine with a powerful electrified drivetrain, delivering supercar-like performance in a family-sized package. Top versions are capable of producing over 1,300hp and sprinting from 0 to 100km/h in just over three seconds.
In other words, it can comfortably transport the whole family while simultaneously embarrassing sports cars at the traffic lights.
Not bad for something the size of a small apartment.
XPeng X9: The Futuristic Family Hauler
If you’re convinced MPVs are boring, the XPeng X9 is here to challenge that assumption.
The futuristic electric people mover has already generated plenty of buzz internationally thanks to its spaceship-inspired design, advanced driver assistance technologies and surprisingly practical cabin.
At KLIMS 2026, visitors will get the chance to see why the X9 has become one of the most talked-about electric MPVs in the market. It’s sleek, packed with technology and proof that family cars no longer need to look like rolling boxes.
For larger families considering the switch to electric mobility, this could be one of the most interesting vehicles on display.
It’s Not Just About The Cars
Of course, KLIMS 2026 isn’t only about admiring new vehicles.
Visitors can also check out Urban Carplay, an interactive showcase celebrating automotive culture through lifestyle experiences, activities and community engagement. It’s designed to appeal not just to hardcore car enthusiasts but also casual visitors looking for something fun to do between vehicle displays.
Families can also look forward to the Pokémon attraction, which is expected to be one of the biggest crowd-pullers during the event. The collaboration brings everyone’s favourite pocket monsters into the show, giving younger visitors plenty to enjoy while the adults drool over horsepower figures and luxury interiors.
So whether you’re there for the latest EVs, luxury SUVs, family-friendly MPVs or simply a day out with the kids, KLIMS 2026 looks set to offer something for everyone.
Just be prepared to leave with a much longer dream-car wishlist than when you arrived.
