Volvo’s grand return and an Italian debut at MTP
The automotive industry is waking from its winter slumber, and Poznań is gearing up for the biggest event in this part of Europe. The Poznań Motor Show 2026 promises four days packed with premieres, technology and excitement. From 23 to 26 April, the MTP halls will become a venue for market debuts, drift shows and meetings with motorsport and television stars. Among this year’s new additions, we will find both exotic supercars and practical solutions set to transform Polish roads.
An Italian debut and ThermoHybrid technology
One of the most interesting highlights of this year’s show will be the Polish debut of the DR Automobiles brand. This European manufacturer, based in the Italian region of Molise, is entering our market in style, presenting as many as eleven models. What sets them apart is their proprietary ThermoHybrid system.
Unlike many brands that fit gas systems at dealerships, DR Automobiles integrates bifuel (LPG) systems directly at its Italian facilities in collaboration with the renowned company BRC. This solution guarantees the highest quality of installation and full integration with the vehicle’s electronics. This is a rare approach that combines Italian design with exceptionally low running costs, all backed by a 5-year warranty.
Volvo returns with a mission for safety
After a long hiatus, the Volvo brand (Karlik) is returning to Poznań. The Swedish manufacturer is not limiting itself to simply showcasing its latest, elegant models, but is focusing on practical education. The ‘Volvo For Safety’ Safety Village will be set up at Plac PWK.
At the heart of the project are no fewer than 12 advanced simulators of accidents and road incidents. Visitors will be able to experience, in safe conditions, the forces at work during a vehicle rollover or a low-speed collision. This interactive centre demonstrates that safety is not just about the systems in the car, but above all about the driver’s awareness. Volvo’s mission of “Zero fatalities, zero accidents” has remained its guiding principle for decades, and the Poznań Motor Show is the best place to get an inside look at this philosophy.
Established brands and market hits
The list of exhibitors at the Poznań Motor Show 2026 is impressively diverse. Industry giants such as Renault, Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, Honda and Dacia have already confirmed their attendance. Motoring enthusiasts from across the Atlantic are sure to stop by the stands of RAM, Dodge and Corvette, whilst fans of British engineering will be able to admire the latest designs from McLaren and the rugged Ineos off-roader.
Alongside them, new players on the Polish market, such as Omoda and BAIC, will be making their mark in the pavilions. Recreational vehicles and two-wheelers will also be strongly represented – from Polaris off-road machines to luxury Phelon & Moore motorcycles. Together, they will present a broad cross-section of technology: from classic, powerful combustion engines, through factory-fitted LPG systems, to modern electric drives.
You’ll see brands such as:
Excitement straight from the screen and the track
The Poznań Motor Show also offers close encounters with TV personalities. The TVN Turbo zone will feature, amongst others, Grzegorz Duda and Przemek Szafrański. This is a unique opportunity to see their original projects up close – from the luxurious Jaguar XJS V12 to the legendary DeLorean and the Lancia Delta. You’ll also be able to meet Karolina Pilarczyk, Gosia Rdest, Kornelia Olkucka and Młody Pelikan there.
For those who prefer the smell of burnt rubber to the shine of paintwork, an outdoor zone has been prepared. Professional drifters and motorcycle stunt riders will present spectacular displays of stunts and precision sideways driving. Adrenaline junkies will be able to sit alongside the drivers and take a ride in the Drift Taxi.
See for yourself, experience it live
A direct comparison of the finish details of hundreds of models, checking the interior ergonomics or soaking up the atmosphere in the show area are experiences that no video report or photo gallery can replace. The Poznań Motor Show allows you to verify market announcements in one place and at one time, which for many visitors is a key factor when planning their visit. Buying your ticket online in advance is currently the most convenient way to secure your place at the event – it allows you to avoid queues at the ticket offices on the day and guarantees smooth entry to the exhibition halls during the busiest motoring weekend of the year.
