DUBAI: The 14th edition of the biennial Dubai International Motor Show closed at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) on Saturday evening, with five-day attendance of over 100,000 visitors underlining regional consumers’ enduring confidence in the automotive industry.
With Dubai International Motor Show hosting over a hundred global and regional launches of new models from leading international auto manufacturers and suppliers – show reveals included mega launches by Infiniti, Jaguar Land Rover, Jeep, Mazda, McLaren, Rolls Royce, and UAE-based hypercar manufacturer, Devel – a series of on-site activations, drift displays, Classic Car auctions and the Ignition Live industry talks proved huge draws for families and passionate petrolheads alike.
Bumper deals rolled out by major manufacturers including Lincoln, Ford and Nissan also pulled in the crowds, with opportunity for purchases and pre-bookings for visitors.
“The public’s appetite and affection for the Dubai International Motor Show is only matched by the loyalty of our exhibitors, which represents the entire cross-section of global automotive manufacturers, suppliers and OEMs,” said Trixie LohMirmand, Senior Vice President, Exhibitions & Events Management, DWTC. “Visitors have come in their droves to see the latest cars, SUVs, supercars, hypercars and bespoke customised vehicles, as well as experience the diverse line-up of family-themed activities taking place across the venue.”
Dubai International Motor Show returns to DWTC in 2019.
