The Exhibitor Value of the Guangzhou International Auto Show
- The Guangzhou Auto Show (Auto Guangzhou) is one of China’s four major A‑class auto shows, alongside those in Beijing and Shanghai, and is regarded as the most influential automotive event in the country. It is hailed as the “barometer of China’s automotive market development” and the annual “closing exhibition” of the car market. Since its inception in 2003, the show has consistently adhered to a positioning of “high quality, internationalization, and comprehensiveness,” leveraging its strategic location in the core area of the Pearl River Delta automotive industrial belt. It has evolved into a pivotal platform for connecting global automotive resources, showcasing cutting-edge technological advances, and forecasting next year’s market trends.
- The core value of participation lies in its unique role as an annual “bridge between past and future.” The Guangzhou Auto Show serves both as a concentrated showcase of the year’s market achievements and as a “trial run” for next year’s product strategies, directly influencing automakers’ year‑end sales performance and their subsequent market deployment. In 2025, the exhibition spanned 220,000 square meters, featuring 1,085 vehicles, including 93 world premieres and 629 new energy vehicles, accounting for nearly 58% of the total—clearly demonstrating the industry’s profound shift toward new energy dominance.
- The show establishes a one‑stop commercial platform covering the entire automotive value chain. The complete vehicle section brings together international mainstream brands such as BMW, Mercedes‑Benz, Volkswagen, and Toyota, competing alongside leading domestic manufacturers like BYD, GAC, Geely, and Chery. Emerging EV startups—including NIO, Xpeng, Li Auto, and Xiaomi—present their latest innovations in smart cockpits and autonomous driving. Concurrent automotive industry‑chain and automotive culture zones focus on advanced areas such as electric motors and electronic controls, charging and energy storage, autonomous driving, and smart cockpits, with exhibitor numbers increasing by 81% year over year, forming a complete ecological closed loop from core components to finished vehicle manufacturing.
- The show keeps pace with industry trends toward “electrification, intelligence, and ecological sustainability,” establishing itself as a cutting‑edge venue for technological showcases. In 2025, new energy vehicle penetration approached 60%, with intelligent technologies emerging as key highlights. Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 4.0 advanced intelligent driving system, Qualcomm’s 8295 cockpit chip, and CATL’s next‑generation battery technologies were prominently displayed, while collaborative achievements between automakers and tech firms reached a peak—GAC and Huawei jointly launched the “Qijing” brand, Dongfeng Nissan introduced the Teana model with HarmonyOS cockpit, and BMW, Audi, along with local tech giants like Momenta and Horizon, engaged in deep collaborations. BYD demonstrated megawatt‑level flash charging and its TianShen Eye intelligent driving system, while GAC Group officially commissioned a pilot production line for all‑solid‑state batteries, achieving an energy density exceeding 400 Wh/kg.
- For Chinese enterprises, this show represents a strategic gateway for market expansion, resource linkage, and showcasing corporate strength. South China constitutes the core segment of China’s automotive market, with the Pearl River Delta concentrating R&D headquarters and production bases of leading automakers such as GAC, BYD, and Xpeng, forming a complete industrial ecosystem. As the host, GAC Group occupied Hall 2.2, while BYD exclusively claimed Hall 2.1, underscoring the strength of local industry giants. At the 2025 show, domestic brands transitioned from technology followers to leaders, while joint ventures accelerated localized innovation in “oil‑electric integration and intelligent connectivity.” The automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation—from “scale expansion” to “value‑based competition.” Through this platform, exhibiting companies can connect with global resources and seize early opportunities in the development of intelligent networking and new energy sectors.

Review
The 23rd Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition 2025 was successfully held from November 21 to 30 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex. This edition of the show was themed “New Technology, New Life,” co-hosted by the China Foreign Trade Center, the China Machinery Industry Federation, and the Automotive Industry Branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. It served as the annual closing event among China’s four major A-class auto shows.
In terms of scale, the exhibition covered a total area of 220,000 square meters, showcasing 1,085 vehicles from around the world, including 93 world premieres and 629 new energy vehicles, accounting for nearly 58% of the total. Exhibitors spanned international mainstream brands, leading Chinese automakers, emerging EV startups, and companies across the industry chain and supply chain. Although the number of exhibitors was slightly reduced compared to last year, the depth of technological displays and the level of specialization were significantly enhanced.
This year’s show featured numerous highlights, with new energy vehicles taking center stage as its defining characteristic. In the first half of 2025, domestic NEV penetration climbed to 50.2%, and monthly sales exceeded 51.6% in October, marking the market’s entry into a new phase dominated by new energy. BYD occupied Hall 2.1, presenting high-end models such as the Yangwang U9 Xtreme and the Denza Z sports car, while also setting up dedicated zones for megawatt-level flash charging and emergency floating‑water independent demonstrations. GAC Group claimed Hall 2.2, unveiling the interior of the Aion A800, equipped with Huawei’s Qiankun intelligent driving system and HarmonyOS cockpit, and announcing that its pilot production line for all-solid-state batteries has been completed and put into operation, achieving an energy density exceeding 400 Wh/kg.
Intelligent technologies emerged as the central battleground, with Huawei’s ecosystem firmly securing top spot. Huawei’s Qiankun and HarmonyOS smart mobility “Five‑Domain” matrix occupied half of Hall 18.2, with Qiankun ADS 4.0 intelligent driving systems already integrated into more than 20 exhibited vehicles. Dongfeng Nissan launched the Teana model featuring the HarmonyOS cockpit, becoming the first gasoline‑powered vehicle equipped with this system; GAC Toyota unveiled the bZ7, fully integrating Xiaomi’s ecosystem; and FAW Audi presented the A5L Qiankun intelligent driving version—the world’s first gasoline‑powered vehicle equipped with Huawei’s Qiankun intelligent driving system.
The “automaker + tech company” ecosystem has become mainstream, accelerating collaborative development across the industry chain. Supply‑chain players such as Huawei and CATL have moved from behind the scenes to the forefront, with their cooperative achievements prominently showcased. GAC and Huawei jointly created the new brand “Qijing,” planning to launch two new models in 2026; BMW’s collaboration with Momenta and Audi’s partnership with Horizon yielded tangible results displayed at the booth, validating a new business model based on “hardware pre‑embedding and software iteration.”
Booth popularity varied significantly, accelerating industry reshuffling. BYD, GAC, and Huawei saw heavy foot traffic, while over 20 automakers—including ultra‑luxury brands like Rolls‑Royce and Bentley, joint ventures such as Beijing Hyundai and Dongfeng Peugeot, and emerging EV startups like Neta, Jidu, and HiPhi—were absent, reflecting the fierce competition in the market.
Parallel events were equally compelling, creating a high‑end platform for industry exchange. The 2025 Guangzhou Auto Development Summit Forum, themed “Breaking Barriers in Intelligent Driving, Reconstructing Value, and Achieving Global Symbiosis,” brought together government representatives, industry leaders, and experts to discuss breakthroughs in intelligent driving technology and the restructuring of the industry value chain. Throughout the exhibition, numerous trade negotiations and procurement matchmaking sessions were held, helping Chinese automotive companies expand into international markets.
The exhibition delivered impressive outcomes and received enthusiastic industry feedback. Exhibiting companies generally reported high-quality professional visitors with clear purchasing intentions, and recognized the significant progress made by domestic brands in the fields of new energy and intelligent technologies. Attendees agreed that the Guangzhou Auto Show is not only an excellent platform for brand exposure and business matching but also a crucial hub for gaining insights into industry trends and exploring pathways toward electrification and intelligent transformation.
