Time (flies) revs. Just like that and the Manila International Auto Show—one of the two biggest car shows in the country—is now 20 years old. Annually organized by Worldbex Services International will mark its second decade on April 10-13 at World Trade Center in Pasay City.

If you recall, MIAS had a total of 29 automotive exhibitors last year. This year, the event will have 23 car brands. Largely responsible for the fewer exhibitors at the main hall is the show’s return to a single venue. In 2024, SMX Convention Center Manila served as a second venue in addition to WTC. To accommodate as many brands as possible, Worldbex had no choice but to diminish the sizes of the booths.

The carmakers that will be present this year are:

• Aion
• Aito
• BAIC
• Bestune
• BYD
• Changan
• Chery
• Foton
• GAC
• GWM
• Hyundai
• Isuzu
• Jaecoo
• Jetour
• Kia
• Lynk & Co
• MG
• Nissan
• Omoda
• Rox
• Suzuki
• Tesla
• VinFast

Obviously missing from the lineup is Subaru, a longtime supporter of MIAS. But the reason is best reserved for another article.

We encourage you to scan the above quick-response code to be updated in the lead-up to the show’s opening—assuming that you’re on Viber, that is.

It’s a date then. Do not miss this expo. It should still be exciting if you really love wheels.
