The leading automotive brands are gathering in Poznań.
Over a hundred brands and exhibitors, meetings with celebrities, stunt and drift shows, and plenty of other attractions. That's the brief overview of the upcoming Poznań Motor Show edition. The MTP Poznań Expo will become the place to be for four days, showcasing automotive excellence.
Poznań Motor Show is the largest automotive event in this part of Europe. This year's edition will last as usual for four days and will start on April 4th. The automotive events block will fill 10 pavilions and the outdoor area. The main sponsor of this year's edition of Poznań Motor Show is the company Otomoto.
Car showroom - the most important part of the exhibition
The latest car models traditionally attract the greatest interest from visitors. This year at the Poznań Motor Show, we will see stands of brands that we haven't seen at the International Poznań Fairgrounds for a long time or see for the first time.
The loudest debut is undoubtedly the presence of Tesla, which debuts at the Poznań Motor Show. Tesla is one of the most recognizable manufacturers of electric cars, but the company's scope of activity is much wider. The American company is also involved in the production of charging stations, photovoltaic panels, and batteries.
At the Poznań Motor Show, Tesla will present four models from its range of vehicles - S, 3, X, Y. The brand's presence at the April event will also be an opportunity to check the available charging options both at home and on the go.
The booth of Dodge and RAM brands promises to be very interesting. A large, 500-square-meter space will be filled with 8 impressive models, including one that deserves special attention. It's the Dodge Viper GTC SRT Time Attack II. Only 33 copies of this version of the vehicle were produced worldwide. One of them will be present in early April at the International Poznań Fairgrounds.
Other well-known brands have also confirmed their presence at the Poznań Motor Show. In the Renault zone, the "Car of the Year 2024" will be presented, namely the Renault Scenic E-Tech. KIA will show three electric models from its range, including EV6, EV9, and Niro EV. Toyota will bring a total of five cars, including the pre-premiere versatile van PROACE MAX. Mazda will also present a wide range of its portfolio, with the CX-60 PHEV being the highlight of its zone. MB Motors, the Mercedes-Benz dealer, supported by the importer Mercedes-Benz Polska, will bring as many as eight models from its range to Poznań, including the brand new facelifted Class V Marco Polo.
Chinese automotive brands are increasingly marking their presence in the Polish automotive market, and they will also be present at the Poznań Motor Show. Special attention should be paid here to BAIC Group - one of the leading Chinese automotive conglomerates. In addition to three models from the modern Beijing series, we will see Forthing and Arcfox brands debuting in Poland, as well as for the first time in Europe, we will be able to see the off-road model BAIC from the BJ series up close.
Thursday filled with premieres and shows
The first day of the Poznań Motor Show, the so-called Media Day, will be filled with presentations of the newest and most interesting models present at the event. The presentations will begin at 11:30 with a show at the Mercedes booth and will last in the car showroom until 16:40. It will be a day full of unforgettable experiences.
Among the presented models, particular attention should be paid to the new Hyundai IONIQ 5 N. The car initiates and defines the electrified future of the N brand. Sports car enthusiasts expecting great excitement on the racetrack will not be disappointed. Until now, no Hyundai serial model could boast acceleration to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. Its electric motors can rev up to 21,000 rpm, providing 650 hp in N Grin Boost mode.
The premiere in the SsangYong zone also promises to be very interesting. The Korean brand for the second year in a row will present Torres to the general public, but this time in the new, fully electric version EVX.
In total, the first day of the Poznań Motor Show will feature as many as 17 twenty-minute shows. The detailed schedule is at the end of the text.
The best two-wheelers in one place
During the Poznań Motor Show, visitors can admire various types of motorization. Therefore, among the exhibitors, there must be interesting motorcycle brands. The absolute hit at the Kawasaki booth will be the presentation of a limited model from the Hypersport category - Kawasaki H2R.

MOVE - let's talk about the future of automotive
The ban on registering new combustion engine cars and the new investment strategy of Poland and Europe will be the topics of the next MOVE congress, which will take place on April 4 at the Poznań International Fair during this year's Poznań Motor Show, the most important automotive event in this part of Europe, visited by tens of thousands of visitors.
For five years, a group of several hundred experts and practitioners from the automotive sector has been exchanging knowledge, experiences, and ideas in the field of sustainable transport. Participants in the event include representatives of public administration, industry organizations, the automotive, fuel, and energy sectors, as well as representatives of the scientific community. The presence of authorities from such diverse fields is essential to address the most pressing issues in the world of automotive.
The topic that will resonate the most this year is undoubtedly the ban on registering new combustion engine cars from 2035 in the European Union. The regulations adopted last year became the catalyst for what is likely to be the biggest change in the history of the automotive industry.
Automotive Technology Fair - an event for industry professionals
The Automotive Technology Fair is the largest and most important event in this part of Europe aimed at owners and employees of car workshops (mechanics and electricians), vehicle inspection and service stations, car washes, experts and diagnosticians, shops and wholesalers of parts and workshop equipment, car dealerships and rental companies, fleet managers, transport companies, and all those who need specialized equipment in their daily work in automotive technology.
