🚗 Motor Show Madness: Bookings Smash Records!

Big news from Bangkok — this year’s Motor Show wasn’t just busy… it was record-breaking. The 47th Bangkok International Motor Show wrapped up with a whopping 132,951 car bookings — the highest ever. That’s a massive 71% jump from last year. Leading the way were BYD and Toyota, showing strong demand even in a shaky economy.

👀 Not Just Cars — Huge Crowds Too

The event pulled in nearly 1.8 million visitors and recorded 2,056 motorcycle bookings. Clearly, the excitement was real and people showed up in full force.

⚡ EVs Steal the Show

Electric vehicles were a major highlight, with brands from Asia and Europe showcasing new technology. At the same time, SUVs and pickup trucks remained popular thanks to their practicality.

🎯 More Than Just Sales

The Motor Show isn’t just about buying cars — it’s where brands, buyers, and new technologies come together. Visitors explored safety features, smart driving systems, and even test-drove future mobility solutions.

📊 So… How Big Is This Really?

The total bookings already account for 21% of Thailand’s 2026 car sales target of 620,000 vehicles — a strong signal for the industry.

🤔 The Catch

Not all bookings turn into final sales. Some buyers may cancel, book multiple cars, or face loan approval issues.

📅 What’s Next?

The next Motor Show is scheduled for March 22 to April 4, 2027 — and expectations are already high.

🚀 Bottom Line

Despite economic uncertainty, the Motor Show proved that excitement around cars — especially EVs — is stronger than ever.
