The event will reaffirm its position as Sri Lanka’s biggest and most influential automotive exhibition.
The Motor Show returns after a six-year hiatus, and will once again unite industry leaders, vehicle enthusiasts, and families, with over 30,000 visitors expected across its 3-day duration. The exhibition is set to feature the largest showcase of vehicles ever held in Sri Lanka, including cars, SUVS, motorcycles, trucks and automative accessories, representing over 30 globally leading brands through their authorised franchise holders in Sri Lanka.
One of the key highlights of the show will be the focus on next-generation mobility, which includes electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, advanced design innovation and interactive demonstrations that provided first-hand experiences of the latest in automotive technology. The CMTA member companies are also preparing exclusive new vehicle launches and models, marking several debuts to the Sri Lankan market.
