Large-scale events often reflect the mood of the places that host them, and in Valencia, the energy surrounding its annual motor fair suggests a region eager to move forward.
That momentum became clearer this month with news that the 2025 edition of La Feria del Automóvil de València will welcome nine new automotive brands, expanding the showcase to a record 46 official manufacturers.
The announcement, shared by Feria Valencia, confirms that the event will run from 5 to 8 December across nearly 50,000 square meters of exhibition space. Organisers say the additions—Alpine, Ebro, Foton, KGM, Leapmotor, Lynk&Co, Subaru, Suzuki and XPeng—will diversify the fair’s offering and reinforce its position as one of Spain’s most significant automotive events.
The fair arrives at a time of renewed strength for the Valencian automotive market. According to official statistics, new vehicle registrations in the region reached 103,044 between January and September, marking a 48.5 percent rise compared with the same period last year. The used car sector is also experiencing steady growth with 191,950 transactions recorded, an 8.2 percent increase year on year. This combination of market recovery, improved delivery times and greater access to financing has helped stabilise both consumer confidence and dealer activity.
Within this context, La Feria del Automóvil de València continues to act as a major driver of sales and industry visibility. The four-day event typically generates thousands of direct purchases while giving visitors the chance to compare new models, sustainable technologies and second-hand vehicles in one of the region’s most comprehensive automotive environments. Exhibitors span both legacy manufacturers—such as Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover, BMW and the full Stellantis group—and emerging Asian brands, including BYD, DFSK and Omoda.
The arrival of brands like XPeng and Leapmotor adds particular relevance for travellers and residents interested in the evolution of electric mobility in Spain. Many of these manufacturers are expanding across Europe, and Valencia’s fair provides a consumer-facing platform for models that may not yet be widely available across the continent. For families, first-time buyers or electric vehicle enthusiasts, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity to explore options across multiple price ranges and propulsion technologies.
The fair’s timing also plays a role in shaping its appeal. Held early in December, the event often coincides with the start of the holiday shopping season, allowing attendees to take advantage of exclusive discounts, financing offers and year-end promotions. Fair organisers emphasise that visitors will find new, electric, plug-in hybrid, semi-new and used vehicles, with many brands highlighting low-emissions options and sustainable propulsion systems.
Industry observers note that the Valencian market’s resilience is tied to broader improvements, including shorter delivery times following earlier supply chain disruptions and the reactivation of credit for buyers. The surge in demand following the region’s severe weather events in recent years also contributed to a temporary peak, which has now given way to a more stable pattern of consumption. For dealers and manufacturers, the fair provides a valuable moment to engage directly with customers, generate leads and showcase innovations in design and performance.
Visitors attending this year’s edition can expect a mix of commercial activity, entertainment and hands-on exploration. While the fair is fundamentally a consumer event, its scale places it among the most influential automotive gatherings in Spain, particularly for travellers interested in how different regions spotlight mobility trends. From high-performance brands like Alpine to newcomers such as Foton and KGM, the diversity of participants reflects the increasingly global nature of Spain’s car market.
More information about exhibitors, ticketing and programming is available through Feria Valencia’s official channels. For those planning a December visit to the city, the fair offers a lively look into the future of mobility alongside one of the Mediterranean’s most vibrant urban destinations.
