Main Highlights of the 2017 Shanghai Motor Show
- The Shanghai show has become one of the world's largest car shows (nearly one million visitors in 2015). The Shanghai event takes place in odd years while the Beijing fair takes place in even years.
- This year, there were many novel vehicles on display: Inovev has selected the most noteworthy.
- Among these 27 novelties, there are 13 SUVs, 9 saloons, 3 MPV (minivans) and 2 coupés. SUVs are still predominant, as they represent one in every two new products, whereas they represent one in three sales in China. Of the 27 models selected, 13 are C segment, 10 are D segment and the other 4 are B, E and F segments. More than half (15 new products) are 100% Chinese, and most are presented as concept cars. It is difficult to predict whether or not a particular concept will be marketed in a series version, but it is likely that many will eventually be commercialized, notably at foreign manufacturers (Skoda Vision E, VW ID Cross, Audi E-tron, Mercedes A Class, Jeep Yuntu), and less frequently at Chinese manufacturers.
- Other models are available for sale in the year, such as the Citroën C5 Aircross, the Acura TLX-L, the Porsche Panamera-L, the Buick Regal GS (with the body of the new Opel Insignia) or the Hyundai iX35.
- Half of the innovations were equipped with 100% electric or rechargeable hybrid engines.
