Organised by the Gremi del Motor i la Mobilitat de Barcelona, the event has moved from its traditional Montjuïc location to the larger GranVia site to accommodate rising demand. This year’s edition brings together leading car brands and distribution centres across Catalonia, offering used cars, zero-kilometre models, demonstration units and rental vehicles at discounted prices. The organisers aim to surpass €26 million in turnover over the four-day event. --- ## Higher visitor numbers prompt venue change Last year’s fair attracted over 15,000 visitors, contributing to the decision to relocate. According to organisers, the strong performance of the event and increasing demand for second-hand vehicles necessitated a larger space. The Fira GranVia site, designed by Japanese architect Toyo Ito, offers 240,000 m² of exhibition space, 8 pavilions and 4,580 parking spaces, making it one of Europe’s largest modern venues. The shift also follows logistical challenges at Montjuïc, including ongoing works at the site, which influenced the strategic move to L'Hospitalet. - Event dates: Thursday 22nd to Sunday 25th October 2026 - Location: Fira Barcelona GranVia, L'Hospitalet - Organiser: Gremi del Motor i la Mobilitat de Barcelona - Target turnover: Over €26 million ### Market trends reflected in vehicle sales Data from last year’s event shows that the most popular vehicles were petrol-powered passenger cars under four metres in length, followed by SUVs and all-terrain vehicles over 4.5 metres. Hybrid models continued to grow in popularity, while 100% electric vehicles accounted for 9% of the total offering. The organisers note that traditional and hybrid options still dominate the second-hand market. > "The surge in visitor numbers and demand for nearly new vehicles has driven our need for a larger, more accessible venue," said a spokesperson for the Gremi del Motor i la Mobilitat de Barcelona.
