The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N has been previewed at the 2024 Singapore Motor Show.

In October 2021, Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz’s Budget 2022 proposed for EVs (specifically, it’s battery electric vehicles or BEVs) to be made tax-free. Some buyers confused this to include sales tax. However, the Malaysia Automotive Association (MAA) has since clarified that the tax-free reference only refers to import
