At the 45th Bangkok International Motor Show, China’s electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers are capturing the spotlight with their high-quality, innovative designs, and competitive pricing. The 12-day event, which opened to the public on Wednesday, features about 49 major automotive brands, unveiling at least 20 new models to eager attendees.
Among the highlights is the MG Cyberster, an electric two-seat convertible sports roadster making its first appearance in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Launched by MG Motor, owned by SAIC Motor, the Cyberster has quickly won the hearts of car enthusiasts with its sleek design and advanced technology.
MG Motor entered the Thai market in 2019 and marked a significant milestone last November when its first locally produced EV rolled off the production line in Thailand. “As one of the earliest Chinese brands entering Thailand, we have launched a full range of products from fuel-powered vehicles to EVs in the Thai market in order to meet customers’ demand,” said Xu Yin, president of MG Sales (Thailand).
The company’s commitment to the Thai market reflects a broader trend of Chinese automakers expanding their presence in Southeast Asia. By tailoring products to local preferences and investing in local production facilities, Chinese EV manufacturers are strengthening ties with regional markets and contributing to the growth of sustainable transportation.
The Bangkok International Motor Show serves as a crucial platform for automakers to showcase innovations and engage with consumers. This year’s event underscores the rising influence of Chinese automotive brands in the global EV market, particularly in regions eager to adopt greener technologies.
As electric vehicles gain popularity worldwide, the success of Chinese EV makers at international exhibitions like the Bangkok Motor Show highlights their growing competitiveness and the appeal of their products on the global stage.
