The first major European motor show in two years will open its doors next month. Here’s every new car debuting at the show.
UPDATE, 6 September 2021: We’ve updated our story with the latest debuts, and brought it forward.
20 August 2021: It goes without saying the COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the international motor show scene, with the first show to get the axe in 2020 being Geneva in March – meaning it’s been nearly two years since the last major European show, in Frankfurt in late 2019.
The 2021 Munich motor show in September will mark a return – and represents the first time the industry’s September/October biannual European show has been held in Munich, after nearly 70 years at the Messe Frankfurt, in the city of the same name.
As the days until the show commences count down – with doors to remain open from 7-12 September, following a media day on 6 September – increasing numbers of manufacturers are announcing their plans for the Munich event, with a slew of new models to be displayed.
Here’s every new car making its global public debut in Munich – which have not been shown at prior motor shows or automotive events, such as Shanghai in April, the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, or Pebble Beach in August.
