The International Motor Show and the International Motorcycle, Parts and Equipment Fair “Motopassion” will be held from March 20 to 26 at the Belgrade Fair, gathering a total of around 330 exhibitors, organizers announced today. Under the slogan “A Ride You Can’t Miss,” the event will feature 46 car brands, with 43 presenting 80 new car models, and visitors will also have the opportunity to see models from 42 motorcycle brands, said project coordinator Zoran Lupšić at a press conference.
Lupšić emphasized that Hall 1 will showcase cars from brands such as VW, Nissan, Škoda, MG, Subaru, Seat, Cupra, Honda, Toyota, Opel, Peugeot, Suzuki, and others.
It was also announced that in Hall 1, at the SAT Media Group stand, the Bugatti Chiron, the most expensive car ever displayed under the Belgrade Fair’s domes, will be exhibited. Only 500 units of this car have been produced. For motorcycle enthusiasts, 72 new motorcycle models and ATV vehicles will be presented.
Aleksandra Đurđević, president of the Serbian Association of Vehicle and Parts Importers, stated that this year, the fair will feature greater availability than in 2024, with better interest rates and financial conditions for purchasing vehicles.
“Manufacturers have heavily invested in vehicle electrification, and we must follow that trend. The ‘grande panda’ concept will hopefully bring electrification closer to the market,” she said.
She also noted that the Association’s focus this year will be on modernizing the vehicle fleet in Serbia. It was announced that Wednesday, March 19, will be a “Press Day” for media professionals in the auto-moto industry, while Friday, March 21, will be “Family Day” for those visiting the fair with their families, with tickets priced at 1,400 dinars.
An antique car parade, named “Prince Tomislav Karadjordjević Memorial,” will take place on Sunday, March 23. Monday, March 24, will feature the “Miss Motor Show” competition, while Tuesday, March 25, will announce the “Best in the Automotive Industry.”
During the fair, the “Car of the Year” for 2025 in Serbia will be declared, based on the selection by the Serbian Automotive Journalists Association. This year’s finalists are: Škoda Kodiaq, Dacia Duster, Fiat 600, Citroen C3, and Renault Rafale.
