The Mondial de l'Auto returns to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles from October 12th to 18th, 2026, for its 91st edition. This legendary Parisian gathering has, since its very first edition, celebrated the automobile as an object of desire, a symbol of freedom, innovation, and movement.
A show built around innovation
As every year, innovation sits at the heart of the Mondial de l'Auto. The 2026 edition puts the spotlight on the major shifts reshaping the industry, electrification, artificial intelligence, software-defined vehicles and global competition, through a dedicated cycle of conferences bringing together leading figures from across the sector, alongside partners such as Google and Capgemini.
What to see in 2026
This year's edition brings a rich programme for car enthusiasts and casual visitors alike:
- World and European premieres, including a new Alfa Romeo concept car, nine concept cars unveiled by Stellantis, and the European debut of the Lynk & Co 07 GT
- A 700 m² "(Un)limited" space, entirely dedicated to exceptional and rare vehicles
- A real-world test-drive centre, where visitors can experience the latest models firsthand on a dedicated course
- A gaming experience, bringing the world's most popular racing video game to the show for the first time
- Evening entertainment, with DJ sets from Radio FG, a laser show, and the Tao Love Bus musical performance
- A start-up competition, spotlighting emerging innovation in mobility, run in partnership with Automotive Lab by PFA and WILCO
A showcase for the industry's future
Beyond the cars themselves, the Mondial de l'Auto has become a genuine meeting point between manufacturers, industry professionals and the general public. Major names such as Renault, Peugeot, Citroën, Audi, Mercedes and Toyota, alongside a growing number of Chinese manufacturers, will be present — as will sustainability-focused innovations like the LIUX BIG, a concept car built from linen fibre.
