Shanghai 2025 auto show: ALL HIGHLIGHTS – AutoRAI TV

Shanghai 2025 auto show is called Auto Shanghai

The Shanghai Auto Show, officially known as Auto Shanghai, has become one of the most important auto shows in the world in recent decades. Where the event began as a regional fair in the 1990s, today it attracts global attention from car manufacturers, press and enthusiasts.

Auto Shanghai is held every other year and alternates with the Beijing Auto Show, highlighting its strategic spread across China. The rapid development of China’s auto industry, combined with the explosive growth rate of electric vehicles, has made the show an indispensable showcase for both Chinese and international brands.

Dominant presence of Chinese automakers

What makes Auto Shanghai special is the dominant presence of Chinese carmakers who no longer just display local variants of Western models, but rather present their own technologies, designs and innovations. Major players like BYD, Nio, Xpeng, Chery and Geely are using the show to launch world firsts and showcase their ambitions in electrification, autonomous driving and smart mobility.

More and more European brands as well

At the same time, Western brands are exploiting the show to capitalize on the rapidly changing demands of Chinese consumers, who increasingly value digital connectivity and sustainability. This makes Auto Shanghai not only a showcase of China’s industrial advance, but also a gauge of global automotive trends.
