After a major shutdown due to the pandemic and the general slowdown of motor shows, the Geneva Motor Show will make a grand return in 2024. His big comeback? And yes, and no, because in 2023 there was still an edition, but it took place in Doha, Qatar, to the general indifference since there were almost no world premieres.
The event was organized in the same week as the Qatar Formula One Grand Prix to attract spectators who had come to watch the Grand Prix and were potentially interested in the show as well.
A more diverse show?
Like the Paris Motor Show, the Geneva Motor Show will also try to reinvent itself by presenting some of the “car dream” that has generally been missing from recent shows, especially as the Swiss event is known for its dream presence. cars Thus, there will be an “adrenaline zone” where all sports equipment will be gathered. We will also find an innovation section, a section dedicated to automotive design and a space that brings together advances in the field of electricity.
There will also be a retrospective exhibition called “Gallery of the Classics”, which will celebrate the exhibition’s centenary in Hall 2. A total of 35 cars will be on display in five thematic spaces: 1920s: the birth of the automobile industry, 1920s 1950s. : the car for everyone 1960s: the golden age of grand touring 1970s: the car before and after the oil crisis innovation: concepts that shaped the auto industry.
Manufacturers are present in Geneva
The Geneva Motor Show is considered the most prestigious exhibition in Europe, but like the Paris Motor Show, the organization has to face new challenges in attracting manufacturers. Unfortunately, the contract is not necessarily fulfilled, because the list of manufacturers present proves that several big players in the automotive industry have decided to avoid Geneva.

There are no builders
We would certainly prefer the presence list to be the inverse of the absent list. Stellantis, Volkswagen concern, Ford concern, Toyota concern and even Kia-Hyundai concern have decided not to participate in the Swiss rally, and their absence must obviously affect the attendance.
