Paris Motor Show 2026: Dates, Exhibitors and Launches Guide

Paris Motor Show 2026: the essential answer

The Paris Motor Show 2026, also known as Mondial de l’Auto, is scheduled for 12–18 October at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. Monday 12 October is reserved for accredited press, and public admission begins Tuesday 13 October. This guide separates the organiser’s published visitor information from manufacturer plans announced before the show. It reflects official pages checked on 23 September 2026.

The organiser describes the event as the 91st edition. Renault Group, Stellantis and Alpine have each published participation plans, while the organiser has ticketing and programme pages online. Those announcements establish intended displays and activities, not a guarantee that every named vehicle will be sold in every country or that every operational detail will stay unchanged.

For readers in India, all event times in this guide are Paris local time unless stated otherwise. Paris is on Central European Summer Time, UTC+2, on the listed October dates; India Standard Time is UTC+5:30. India is therefore three hours and 30 minutes ahead: the Tuesday 09:30 public opening is 13:00 in India, while a 22:00 Friday or Saturday close is 01:30 the following day in India.

Dates, public hours and venue

The show dates are Monday 12 October through Sunday 18 October 2026. The organiser’s practical-information page says Monday is for accredited press. Public days are Tuesday through Sunday, so a general-admission ticket should not be treated as access for the Monday media day.

Published public hours are 09:30–20:00 on Tuesday 13, Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October; 09:30–22:00 on Friday 16 October; 09:00–22:00 on Saturday 17 October; and 09:00–18:30 on Sunday 18 October. The organiser lists last admission at 19:00 Tuesday–Thursday, 21:00 Friday and Saturday, and 17:30 on Sunday. Friday and Saturday are the late-opening days.

The venue address is Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, 1 Place de la Porte de Versailles, 75015 Paris. The organiser lists Halls 3, 5.1, 5.2/3, 6 and 7.1 for the event. For public-transport arrivals it identifies Gate A2 as the entrance. Viparis lists Metro Line 12, tram lines T2 and T3a, and bus routes 80 and 39 among the venue’s public-transport connections.

Exhibitor status: what the official pages show

The organiser’s homepage currently displays exhibitor logos rather than a detailed stand-by-stand catalogue. The names visible there include Alfa Romeo, Audi, BYD, Changan, Chery, Dacia, Denza, DS Automobiles, Fiat, Ford, Geely, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Leapmotor, Lucid, Mercedes, Opel, Peugeot, Renault, Škoda, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo and XPeng. It also displays mobility, supplier and service names including Capgemini, EDF, Valeo and Vinci.

A logo on the organiser’s official page supports describing that company as listed for the event as of the check date. It does not establish a particular stand size, press-conference time, product range, public-day appearance or sales launch. Readers travelling for one brand should recheck the organiser’s current exhibitor page and the manufacturer’s newsroom close to their visit.

No final 2026 attendance total or final exhibitor count should be inferred from the displayed logos. The event and its participants are still preparing for an October date. Historical statistics and planning estimates do not constitute results for the forthcoming edition, so this guide does not present them as a forecast.

Manufacturer announcements and named presentations

Stellantis says it will occupy a 5,340-square-metre booth in Hall 4 and display nine concept cars from eight brands alongside more than 60 vehicles. Its announcement names Alfa Romeo, Citroën, DS Automobiles, Fiat, Lancia, Leapmotor, Opel and Peugeot. The company’s stated press-conference schedule is for the morning of Monday 12 October in Hall 4, with all times given in CEST.

The manufacturer identifies planned international premieres as the DS N°7, Fiat Grizzly, Lancia Gamma, Leapmotor B03, Leapmotor D19 and Opel Corsa GSE. Its release also says Opel will unveil a concept car and Peugeot will show new concept cars. These are pre-show manufacturer announcements. Technical specifications, pricing, ordering dates and country-by-country availability require confirmation from the relevant brand and are not established here.

Renault Group says Renault, Dacia, Alpine and Renault Pro+ will use 5,000 square metres in Hall 6 and display 50 vehicles, including concept cars and technology demonstrators. Its announcement says Renault will show 22 electrified vehicles and several concept cars; Renault Pro+ will show six fully electric vehicles, including the Trafic E-Tech electric and selected conversion-ready derivatives; and Dacia will show 10 electric or hybrid vehicles.

Alpine’s 21 September announcement places its display in Hall 6, Stand A22. Alpine says it will present the A290 Collection, expanded Atelier Alpine specifications for the A390, and a first glimpse connected with the next stage of the A110’s evolution. The same release says more details were due on 28 September. As of 23 September, that later information was pending; the planned display should not be described as a completed production-model reveal.

Programme, driving sessions and conference agenda

The official programme lists the Test Center in Hall 7.1 from 09:30 to 19:30. It is by reservation only, takes an estimated 30–45 minutes and uses a purpose-designed course. The organiser describes an opportunity to test automotive innovations under real-world conditions. It does not promise that every exhibitor or every announced model will be available for a drive.

The programme also lists the Autonomous Lab in Hall 7.1 at Gate H, from 09:30 to 19:30, with 25-minute time slots. It is by reservation only and the dedicated page says advance registration on site is required. The organiser describes an approximately 25-minute, accompanied autonomous-vehicle drive that includes demonstrations such as pedestrian detection, automatic braking, lane keeping, traffic adaptation, assisted lane changing and autonomous parking.

Other published programme items include a 700-square-metre (Un)limited Area in Hall 7.1, conferences in Hall 7.1 from 13–16 October, DJ sets and late-night events on the Hall 6 terrace, a laser show, and Tao Love Bus in an outdoor area. Conference entry is by reservation. These are agenda listings as checked, not a claim that all activity slots or reservations remain available.

Tickets, arrival and entry conditions

The organiser lists online ticket prices of €20 for weekday full-price admission, €22 for weekend full-price admission, €17 for evening entry, and €13 for children aged 7–17, students and people with reduced mobility. It lists on-site prices of €22 for weekday and evening admission and €24 at weekends. Prices and categories are the organiser’s displayed rates on 23 September, not a statement about travel, currency-conversion or payment costs.

The FAQ says each ticket is valid only for the date selected at purchase and allows a single entry; departures are final. It sets arrival windows for several ticket types, including evening and weekend slots. A standard daytime visitor on Friday or Saturday may remain inside for the late opening, according to the FAQ, but a visitor arriving after 18:30 should use the organiser’s current ticket conditions rather than assume a general ticket permits entry.

For public transport, use Gate A2 as directed by the organiser. Drivers are directed to P6 or P7; the organiser says P6 is about a 10-minute walk from Gate A2, while P7 offers access near Pavilion 7. The FAQ prohibits luggage and motorcycle or bicycle helmets and says there is no free luggage storage. Assistance dogs are allowed; other animals are not. Visitors should have their ticket and identification ready for security checks.

Confirmed information versus pending details

Confirmed as of 23 September are the dates, the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles venue, public hours, listed ticket categories and prices, Gate A2 guidance, the published programme format, and the manufacturer announcements summarised above. These are all claims with an organiser, venue or manufacturer source available at the time of checking.

Still pending are a final stand map, a definitive all-exhibitor roster, vehicle-by-vehicle public display and drive availability, full technical specifications, retail prices, ordering dates and regional availability. A concept, demonstration vehicle or announced premiere is not evidence of an Indian launch or local sales plan. Those details should be taken only from later official model and market announcements.

Reservations, admission slots, programme timings and manufacturer schedules can change before the event. The distinction matters most for long-distance visitors: a planned session or display is not a booking confirmation. Check the official ticketing or programme page immediately before committing to travel or making a same-day visit.

How to use this guide before a visit

Use the organiser’s practical-information page for the date, local hours, gate and transport route; use its ticketing and FAQ pages for the selected entry category and conditions; and use the programme pages for reservation requirements. For a named vehicle, rely on the relevant manufacturer newsroom rather than a third-party preview. This article intentionally avoids forecasts about attendance, sales or launch outcomes.

Those internal articles are background reading only and are not evidence for this event guide. The source list below identifies the official pages checked on 23 September 2026, and the guide should be revised if an organiser or manufacturer changes a material detail.
