The Vigo Car and Motorcycle Show will hold its 33rd edition at the Vigo Exhibition Centre (IFEVI) from March 6 to 10. Galicia's largest commercial motor show is thus returning, bringing together the region's main dealerships to showcase a wide variety of vehicles and offer proposals of all kinds across different price ranges.
The event was attended by Elena Espinosa, Deputy Mayor of the City Council of Vigo; Ana Ortiz, territorial delegate of the Xunta de Galicia in Vigo; Ana Mº Mejías, substitute delegate of the Vigo Free Trade Zone Consortium; María Ramallo, deputy of the Provincial Council of Pontevedra; Arsenio Prieto, manager of IFEVI; Jose Manuel Fernández Alvariño, president of the Fair's Organizing Committee; and Jose Enrique Elvira, director of the event.
The event has managed to bring together more than 30 car brands and around 15 motorcycle brands, making this gathering one of the fundamental events for the sale and distribution of vehicles in Galicia.
An exhibition of about 20,000 m² where attendees will be able to choose from a wide-ranging selection, with the convenience of doing so in a single space and also with the advice of experts who will help the undecided resolve their doubts about which model best fits their needs. From the latest electric or hybrid models to traditional gasoline or diesel, the Vigo Car and Motorcycle Show is presented as the perfect opportunity to choose the best option.
Omoda, the Chinese firm, chooses Vigo to show itself to the general public for the first time in Spain
Premiere in Vigo for the Omoda brand, which is appearing at a car show for the first time in Spain. Our country is the first in Europe where the Chinese firm's products will be sold, showcasing its Omoda 5, a gasoline-powered SUV that is the first to arrive.
Another brand presenting an SUV will be MINI, which is fully entering the mid-size SUV segment with the third-generation Countryman, replacing the model that had been on sale since 2016, which is larger.
For its part, BMW will present its new X2, in diesel and gasoline versions, as it features a mild-hybrid system, all-wheel drive, and the Eco label. Although speaking of zero-emission versions, the brand will showcase the new iX2, larger and more powerful than its predecessors. Volkswagen will also present several new models across its various segments, such as the new T-Cross, Passat, and ID.7.
Among the most sustainable options are the new Volvo EX30, a fully electric vehicle and the brand’s most compact SUV; the KIA EV9, a modern and sporty all-electric crossover; the Peugeot e-3008, available in both all-electric and hybrid versions, as is the Toyota C-HR; while Honda will unveil its new hybrids, the ZR-V—a midsize sport SUV—and the CR-V, in this case a more premium, family-oriented version.
As a sample of the great variety of vehicles that will be showcased at the Show, we have the Ford Tourneo Courier, Ford's smallest passenger transport van, currently available with a 125-horsepower gasoline engine; Opel's most compact van, the Combo, which will showcase a complete restyling at the event; as well as the Peugeot Rifter.
Motorcycles share the spotlight with cars once again
On the other hand, the motorcycle sector will once again occupy a large space, with more than fifteen brands, several launches, and a wide variety of models available to the public.
Among the participating brands, Yamaha stands out with the new products it will present. In addition to its best-selling scooters, the XMAX 125 and XMAX 300, and the two new versions of the Ténéré 700, which reinforce its adventure range, the firm will present its most ambitious sport tourer to date, the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+. Furthermore, they will showcase their new and extensive range of eBikes, which can be tested live on an exclusive track at the Show itself.

From two limited-edition Ducati Panigale Troy Bayliss to a rare bird like the Kawasaki KR-1s, not to mention the classic Suzuki GSX-R 750 and Kawasaki GPZ 750 Turbo, which turn 40 in 2024.
The traditional Motorcycle Day, in which all attendees who arrive using this means of transport receive a discount on admission, is once again extended to the entire weekend, and this offer can be enjoyed on both Saturday and Sunday, thanks to which admission costs €6/person. In addition, for the third consecutive year, an indoor parking area will be set up for all attendees arriving by motorcycle during the weekend inside the pavilion dedicated to this sector, next to the exhibition.
Leisure for the whole family and themed content for motor enthusiasts
In addition to the varied commercial offering, the Vigo Car and Motorcycle Show will be complemented by a great entertainment offering.
The little ones will enjoy this edition in a very special way, as on Saturday and Sunday there will be a free indoor go-kart track for children between 2 and 10 years old, making the Vigo Car and Motorcycle Show the perfect plan to enjoy as a family.
· Supercar Exhibition

The legendary Volkswagen Golf commemorates its 50 years in 2024, a milestone that will occupy its own space at the Vigo Car and Motorcycle Show. In an exclusive stand, all the evolutions that this German vehicle has undergone from its launch to the present day will be presented. From the most iconic and classic versions of 1974, to the most daring and radical ones, such as the Golf II Rallye or the imposing Golf 7 GTI TCR DSG, designed exclusively for racetracks and being the tenth unit of the 125 manufactured worldwide.
