Overview
- The 31st edition runs November 22–30 at Distrito Anhembi after a seven-year hiatus.
- Nine Chinese marques are among 25 exhibitors, signaling an assertive push by new entrants into Brazil’s market.
- President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva attended the opening, praised the fair’s public appeal, and criticized ticket prices as high.
- Several established and luxury automakers skipped the show, including Volkswagen, Chevrolet, Ford, Nissan, Audi, BMW, Mercedes‑Benz, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo.
- The event is sponsored by Anfavea and the São Paulo city government, yet many participants are not Anfavea members, and the association earlier this year accused BYD and GWM of dumping.
