All the cars from Geneva Motor Show 2019

The Geneva Motor Show is one of the biggest events in the automotive calendar. Here are all the important cars which debuted at the 2019 show.

The Geneva Motor Show is now in its 89th year. It’s one of the European motor industry’s biggest and most important events.
What is the Geneva Motor Show?
It’s a big car show held in Geneva every year. Lots of car manufacturers and suppliers take their cars to show off to the media and public. In the past, car manufacturers would save their new models to reveal at the show. This does still happen – as you’ll see below – but more and more frequently, manufacturers are premiering their new cars outside of motor shows.
As well as car reveals, manufacturers also take prototypes, crazy concepts, new equipment, and new technology to the show, so expect to see anything from exotic supercars, to flying cars, autonomous cars, and everything in between.
Geneva Motor Show 2019 dates and address
The Geneva Motor Show is held every year at the Geneva Palexpo convention centre, with two press days kicking off the event on 5-6 March, before it opens to the public from 7-17 March.
Geneva Motor Show address: Palexpo Arena, Route François-Peyrot 30, 1218 Le Grand-Saconnex, Geneva, Switzerland
Geneva Motor Show ticket price
You can buy tickets from the show site. Tickets cost 16 CHF (around £12) for adults, 9 CHF (around £7) for children aged 6-16 and pensioners, and children under six go free with an adult.
If you arrive after 4pm, you’ll be able to get half-price tickets, and group bookings for 20 people or more only have to pay 11 CHF (around £8) a head.
What car manufacturers won’t be attending the 2019 Geneva Motor Show?
A few big car manufacturers aren't at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. The list stands at Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, and Volvo.
