SAIC Motor Malaysia hosts MG Car Club Gathering at KLIMS 2026

KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuala Lumpur Mobility Show 2026 has been going on in full swing in Malaysia, showcasing an exciting range of upcoming models and innovative vehicle concepts while attracting auto enthusiasts from across the country. Alongside vehicle displays, automakers are also hosting special activities and engagement sessions at the event to connect with visitors and brand communities. One such example is the MG Car Club Gathering organised by SAIC Motor Malaysia this weekend.

The gathering brought together 39 privately owned vehicles, comprising 34 modern MG electric vehicles alongside five classic MG models, highlighting the brand’s journey from British motoring heritage to modern electrified mobility.

"Gatherings such as this create meaningful opportunities for heritage and modern MG owners to connect, exchange stories, and celebrate their shared appreciation for the brand. They also allow prospective customers to experience firsthand the strong sense of community that makes MG ownership unique," said Hoffen Teh, Chief Operating Officer of SAIC Motor Malaysia. 

“The gathering reflects SAIC Motor Malaysia’s continued commitment to nurturing meaningful engagement with customers and enthusiasts, while strengthening MG’s presence in Malaysia as the brand expands its electrified mobility offerings.”

Kelab MG Malaysia and MG EV Club Malaysia join the gathering 

The MG Car Club Gathering event also united members of Kelab MG Malaysia and MG EV Club Malaysia, reflecting the growing and increasingly diverse community of MG owners.

Established 50 years ago, Kelab MG Malaysia is one of the country’s longest-standing automotive clubs, formed by passionate MG owners. MG EV Club Malaysia, on the other hand, represents a new generation of MG enthusiasts embracing electric mobility. It has approx 360 members nationwide.
