The Lyon Motor Show is on its way to becoming the benchmark automotive event in France, and this new edition, which opened on Thursday, September 28, 2023, should certainly prove our point.

Obviously, it is possible to emphasize the loss of speed of major international exhibitions, in particular the Paris World Cup (even if the numbers put forward by the organization are far from catastrophic…), which looked very bad during the previous one. .editing, but the Lyon Salon does not necessarily aim to supplant the Paris event.

An event on a human scale

No, at the Salon de Lyon we want, above all, a human-scale and commercial-focused show. Manufacturers are usually represented by their local distributors.as well as numerous offices dedicated to sellers, prove that this exhibition is also a great way to do business, especially because of the proximity between visitors and stands, which are almost accessible.

With 1,850 sales achieved during the last edition, the bar to overcome is high and the targets ambitious, but with more than 65,000 visitors expected over the five days of the event, the Lyon Motor Show should once again be a success.

It must be said that the recipe is both simple and effective. Apart from the weekends, when the crowds can be impressive at certain times, this regional show has a human scale so that you can approach the cars and talk to the brand representatives without much difficulty.

Let’s dream

And even better: where the Paris Motor Show seems to have abandoned dream cars in favor of more rational machines, at the Lyon Motor Show we find everything. Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martins to dream of, BYD, Microlinos, MG or even Peugeot and Renault to consider for your future electric vehicle.

And the best part of it all? You can go there with the whole family without losing the minimum wage. With an entry ticket of €7 online and €8 at the venue, the Salon de Lyon is half or even three times cheaper than the Paris event, being generally more accessible, more livable and, above all, more diverse.

There are currently 50 brands on display at the Lyon Motor Show, and even though it’s a sales and business event, it’s still possible to have fun wandering around and getting up close and personal with almost all the latest developments in the automotive industry. Is it already an unmissable event in the French motoring arena? Of course, this “back to basics” of “old-fashioned” and large-scale car showrooms is really nice to see.
