By now 155 major Chinese automakers and international famous brands as well as 128 dealers have made a commitment to attending the show, with a year-on-year space bookings by both Western and Chinese brands.

Designed to forge an premier global auto show and add to the strength of an international auto city, the forthcoming show involves 200,000 m2 in major and minor venues combined as well as a cloud-based online platform that complements its offline counterpart.

Changchun International Convention and Exhibition Center, as the major venue, consists of four outdoor exhibition spaces as well as nine indoor pavilions tailored respectively to new tech & video shows (P1), super-luxury brands (P2), BMW (P3), Benz (P4), luxury & AFV brands (P5), joint-venture Chinese brands (P6), Chinese brands (P7), joint-venture Chinese brands and AFV technology (P8), and FAW (P9).

The minor venues are Xinglong Bonded Area where Changchun Auto Parts Cross-border E-commerce Fair will take place, and Manshanli with a space to show 100+ caravans.

By rolling out all-new updates on its cloud-based version, the auto show intends to set up an online service platform on which exhibition, sale and buying run in parallel to give prominence to a big data-enhanced, all-new modern show highlighted by smart features accessible through the cellphone.

Pavilion booking, an appealing feature of the auto show, characterizes the event as highly international while reflecting international brands’ close attention to the event.

FAW is as active as the last year in attending the show. It has booked P9 for its sole use in order to display all FAW makes and models as a successful Chinese industry leader and a representative of the charm of Chinese auto culture.

Up to the present, BMW has booked P3 and Benz has booked P4. Impressively neat stands designed for other international brands are expected to strike visitors with an exciting feast for the eyes thanks to unique displaying technology.

First models are expected to be the most eye-catching. The upcoming auto show will release 35 Chinese first models and new models, unveiling highlights.

Since the last year, an explosive growth in AFV models has highlighted shows nationwide. The Changchun Auto Show will launch 10+ AFV brands in total, including BYD, Li, Arcfox, SAIC-Audi, GAC-Aion, Denza, Voyah, Zeekr, Aiways and Huawei-enhanced AITO which are symbolic of the technological leadership of the show and the determination of emerging Chinese automakers’ full-scale efforts to march into the Northern China market.

An integral part of the industry chain, the auto show will set apart spaces for aftermarket planning which consist of the corridors between pavilions. The architectural design is intended to give prominence to the functionality of the show as part of a fully-developed industry to harmonize with the international appeal of the venues.

As for outdoor motel and driving experience, sponsor motel and outdoor gear brands will be in place to provide visitors and prospective buyers with immersive caravan camping experience in living outdoors.

In addition to an outdoor special offer space, the Organizing Committee will team up with all brands to benefit buyers with best prices. At the same time, the Organizing Committee will act in tandem with industry policymakers at all levels to offer favorable prices in an effort to attract more prospective customers and make them buy. The auto show will create a dual effect by increasing car buyers and consumers of related industries.

Furthermore, the show will launch a series of novel and meaningful activities.

The concurrence of this activities with the auto show can be deemed as innovation. The Organizing Committee will join China Automobile Dealers Association in co-hosting China (Changchun) International AFV Summit 2022, an event expectedly to broaden alternative energy application in the automotive industry. The Changchun Auto Parts Cross-border E-commerce Fair will elongate the parts supply chain in Changchun.
