Among the visitors yesterday was 61-year-old housewife Fadzilah Hamdan, who was taking a closer look at the ORA 5 HEV (hybrid electric vehicle).
"I like SUVs. I prefer EVs as they are powerful, quiet and better for the environment. I think the compact size of the ORA 5 HEV is suitable for lady drivers," said Fadzilah, who added that the auto show has a good selection of automotive brands and cars, all under one roof.
"It is quite convenient and I do not need to visit different car showrooms," she added.
Meanwhile, a 67-year-old businessman, who wished to be known only as Lee, was checking out the ORA 5 HEV and GWM TANK 300 HEV.
"The designs look nice and the interiors have a premium feel," said Lee.

Another visitor, a 67-year-old retiree, who wished to be known only as Chan, was checking out the Chery Tiggo 9 together with his friends.
"We are here to look and do car comparisons. The technology, features and prices - especially the Chinese models - of the cars here are quite attractive. The Jetour T2 is an attractive model for me," he said.
"The location is good and we can take our time to get a hands-on experience with the cars here," Chan added.
Meanwhile, insurance agent Chris Lau, 33, took an interest in the GWM TANK 300 HEV.
