The Lyon Motor Show 2025 is shaping up to be the biggest automotive event in France this year, with more than 70,000 visitors expected over five days of exhibitions.
Building on the success of the 2023 edition, this show focuses on what truly matters: a place where brands can meet their customers, offer test drives, and showcase their latest models—without gimmicks or extravagant booths.
Above all, the Lyon Motor Show remains a sales-driven event, represented by distributors seeking to boost their performance in a car market struggling since the beginning of the year.
An Edition Brimming with Innovations
With 57 brands in attendance, Lyon 2025 offers a packed program:
- 2 world premieres: the Nissan Leaf and Honda Prelude, both scheduled for launch in 2026.
- 50 new models, with French brands in the spotlight: Alpine A390, DS No.8, Peugeot 208 GTI, and Citroën C5 Aircross.
Nearly 300 new vehicles on display, 44% powered by electric motors and 32% by hybrids—meaning 76% of the lineup is electrified.

A Premium Step Forward
This edition sees strong participation from European carmakers unveiling their newest models, in contrast to the absence of emerging Asian brands like Aiways, Vinfast, Hongqi, and Forthing.
The 2025 edition also marks an upscale shift with an entire hall dedicated to prestige vehicles. Iconic brands such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, Maserati, and Porsche are displaying their cars on more refined stands. An impressive hypercar collection completes this hall, featuring the Ferrari Daytona SP3 (599 units), Aston Martin Valour (110 units), Bugatti Chiron (500 units), and the ultra-rare Aspark Owl (50 units).
