Auto Chongqing is a motor show where cars are sold as much as displayed, and the audience reflects that: retail buyers from across central and western China, and the dealers and groups who sell to them. Passenger cars, commercial vehicles, motorhomes and special-purpose vehicles share the halls with motorcycles and the care, tuning and road-trip products their owners buy.

The technology side has grown with the market. Electric and new energy models and their key components sit beside charging infrastructure and the platform solutions built around it, while intelligent vehicle and automotive IoT products, flying cars and intelligent robots show where the next stage is heading. Finance, insurance, logistics, rental and vehicle-use service companies round out the supply side, and a forum on the Chinese car industry runs alongside the exhibition.
