The Lyon 2022 motor show seems to have kept all its promises. More than 65,000 visitors were welcomed while 1,850 vehicles found takers during the 5 days of the event. The appointment for the next edition is already fixed from September 28 to October 2, 2023.
What a pleasure to be able to stroll through the aisles of a car show to discover new things! This breath of fresh air seems to have convinced the crowds, despite an economic and ecological situation that is not conducive to four-wheeled vehicles. The 45 manufacturers present and the hundred or so exhibitors at the 2022 Lyon Motor Show were able to receive more people and sell more cars than during the 2019 edition.
Numbers on the rise
The event, which was held over 50,000 m2 within the Eurexpo exhibition center, brought together 65,000 visitors over the 5 days of the exhibition (April 7 to 11, 2022). This is 5% more compared to 2019.
In addition, the creation of an unprecedented 10,000 m² hall dedicated to second-hand cars, which had nearly 350 models on display, boosted sales statistics. Reassuring news since it has been the credo of this event for many years. Out of 1,850 cars sold, second-hand cars accounted for 14% of registrations. For their part, manufacturers were able to take advantage of test tracks to attract customers.
The winning formula?
Anne-Marie Baezner, director of the show, is not surprised by this success. ” The place given to electric models and the introduction of the Univers Occasion on a French automobile market still constrained by the shortage of new vehicles, completed an already successful formula: a sales show which allows visitors to see, test and dream “, she concluded. Because this is also how the Lyon event attracts its public: offering entertainment for all audiences, varied exhibitions and controlled investment for exhibitors with simple stands of a maximum of 600 m².
Organized every two years, alternating with the Mondial de Paris, the Salon de Lyon will indeed be back in 2023. The dates have been announced: meeting from Thursday September 28th to Monday October 2nd. Anne-Marie Baezner proclaims it loud and clear: “ no doubt, the automobile industry and the Lyon Motor Show have a bright future ahead of them “.
