The Dhaka Motor Show is known to be one of the most anticipated automotive events for petrolheads every year. This year, with the 18th iteration of the country’s largest automobile exhibition, the hype was no different.
From 1 May to 3 May, CEMS-Global USA organised the Dhaka Motor Show 2025 under the Auto Series of Exhibitions 2025 at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB). The event brought all the latest and most anticipated vehicles of the year that are officially available in Bangladesh under one roof.
The three-day long event had a wide variety of cars showcased at Hall-1 and Hall-3, from various Japanese, Malaysian, Indian and Korean automakers, although it was the Chinese ones which ultimately stood out the most. For this issue of Wheels, we bring together five cars which absolutely stole the show.

Design-wise, the Cyberster is a visual stunner.
