While an earlier image of the floor plan was released, it needed to be completed, with many booths still blank. However, this recent image fills in the blanks and gives you a rough idea of where everything will be put into place.
Notably missing in the original floor plan image was Jetour, which we reported would be one of a few brands making their debut at the auto show.
However, their positions have been revealed, with Jetour set to display alongside Chery Philippines and Foton being moved to the back of the Chinese brand.
The new floor plan also reveals that Geely Philippines is set to have a more prominent display than what was initially shown.
Aside from this, Petron will now take up the once-empty booth behind the original position of the Foton display.
Peugeot Philippines’ display will also be shortened to make way for a small display for Atoy Custom.
The side hall floor plan has also been revealed, showcasing an area for aftermarket parts, an eating area, and other displays. A food court area will also be at the event, with at least ten booths available.
The floor plans for the displays in front of the World Trade Center have also been finalized, with JAC Philippines getting an exhibition and Foton Philippines getting a larger area to display its commercial vehicles.
JMC Philippines will also be present along with other trucking/ commercial vehicle-related brands, such as Autokid. Impenetra Armor Protective systems will also have its booth alongside these other brands.
Below is the list of major car brands on display at MIAS 2023:
- BYD
- Changan
- Chery
- Chevrolet
- Ford
- Foton
- GAC
- Geely

Why no Toyota?
A frequently asked question concerning MIAS is why isn’t Toyota Motor Philippines present.
The simple answer is that Toyota opts not to participate in the auto show as it is part of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc (CAMPI), which has its event in the form of the Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS).
So, If you want to catch the number one Philippine automotive brand, you must wait for PIMS.
But why is Mitsubishi there, you ask? As in previous iterations of MIAS, some CAMPI brands, such as Mitsubishi, actually have their dealerships assume the display space for the brand. So technically, it's not Mitsubishi itself displaying. Did we mention, technically?
Are you excited about MIAS this coming April 13 to 16?
