One of the oldest and most influential motor shows in the world returns to Paris for its 91st edition. From October 12 to 18, 2026, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles becomes a meeting point for carmakers, suppliers, tech companies and the public. It's a showcase for an industry in the middle of its biggest transformation in a century.
Electrification runs through the whole show. Established European names such as Renault, Peugeot, Citroën, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Alpine share the halls with a strong wave of Chinese and new-generation EV makers, including BYD, Xpeng, Zeekr, Leapmotor, Li Auto, Denza and Changan.
