The Manila International Auto Show will return from 9 to 12 April 2026 at the World Trade Center Metro Manila, with show hours set from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The event follows the show’s 20th anniversary edition in 2025, which recorded more than 170,900 visitors. The previous run featured over 145 exhibitors and used 33,000 square meters of exhibit space.

MIAS is organized by Worldbex Services International. The 2026 edition will carry the theme “Powering Mobility.”

Organizers said the show will continue to serve as a platform for vehicle displays and brand participation. The event brings together automotive companies, aftermarket firms, and car clubs in a single venue.

Vehicle launches will again be part of the program through the Mobility Marathon, where participating brands will present new models during the show period. The launches will be scheduled across several days.

Test Drive Avenue will also return, which will allow visitors to try selected vehicles on site. The feature was included in previous editions of the show.

Other sections will include a Truck Zone and a Die-Cast Car Collection area. Car clubs from different parts of the country are also expected to take part.

The MIAS Petron Custom and Classic Car Competition will be held during the event in partnership with Petron. The Ms. MIAS pageant is also scheduled as part of the program.
