2025 Manila Auto Salon x Trans Sport Show x Sport Truck Show: A Show of Unity
Three major custom car shows come together as one grand event
The 29th Manila Auto Salon, 30th Sport Truck Show, and 33rd Trans Sport Show are now open at the SMX Convention Center Mall of Asia, which will run until Sunday, Nov 16, 2025. Yes, you read that right. That’s three major car shows all rolled into one single grand automotive event that merges three distinct styling executions.
Organized by Tradeshow, Inc. and sponsored by Motul, each show represents a different facet of styling trends and respective car cultures merged into one grand event. That makes it an unforgettable experience for the showgoer as they can sample all flavors of automotive customization with one ticket.
Three different car shows designed to unite enthusiasts from diverse automotive communities under a single roof, showcasing the full spectrum of the motoring world, from the elegance of restored vintage automobiles like a Mercedes-Benz 190SL, a resto-modded Mustang fastback, to the innovation of modern engineering such as Ferraris and Porsches, as well as the creativity of custom 4x4 builds from the many off-road shops, this event is a must-see event for anyone who is into automobiles.
In addition to the vehicle displays, the event also serves as a hub for automotive aftermarket brands, parts suppliers, and service providers. Showgoers can expect to see a wide range of aftermarket products, such as suspension systems, high-performance tires, paint and body kits, and specialized gear for off-road adventure. And you can even see some shops do the work on site like the live application of automotive wrap over the weekend.
To give you a teaser of what to expect and to know what each show is all about, here is a sample of some of the outstanding cars that best represent each show that showgoers can expect to see.
Manila Auto Salon: Tuning and Styling
That’s the idea behind the cars that comprise the Manila Auto Salon, making it the Philippines' premier automotive event for custom and performance cars, featuring the latest custom builds from top shops, showcasing performance. Stock cars need not apply here as everything revolves around getting maximum performance and the looks to go with it. Driven by the latest styling trends from aftermarket companies, these tuner cars come extremely modified. With considerable work done on the performance and looks aspect.
Sport Truck Show: Going where pavement ends
Off-roading is the name of the game here where modified pickups and SUVs are the stars of the show. Loaded with aftermarket suspension lift components and matching bigger wheel/tire upgrades, these rigs are built for show and play. Another mainstay of this show are the overlanding themed builds that are equipped with all kinds of camping gear that allows being able to enjoy the outdoors with friends and families.
Trans Sport Show: Restoration
The longest-running car show in the country, it represents the pinnacle when it comes to showcasing the finest restored classic automobiles. From crafting a super straight body to an impeccable engine bay, every creation represents utmost craftsmanship from the best auto restoration shops.
