One of the most eagerly awaited events of the year is back for all motoring enthusiasts, bargain hunters, and those looking for a more sustainable vehicle: the Madrid Motor Show, Spain’s flagship event for nearly-new and used cars.

If you’re thinking about changing your car, now’s your moment. And if it hadn’t crossed your mind, after reading what we have to tell you, you might just be tempted!

For five days, Madrid will become a paradise for pre-owned cars in perfect condition: there will be thousands of models, every brand you can imagine and, best of all, you’ll be able to test them and take advantage of unrepeatable offers.

Will you join us at the event that, year after year, keeps surpassing itself?

What is the Madrid Motor Show?

The Madrid Motor Show (La Feria del Automóvil de Madrid), also known as the Used and Nearly-New Motor Show, is the sector’s must-attend event, held every year at IFEMA.

Here you’ll find dealerships, official brands, multi-brand dealers, industry experts and, of course, thousands of visitors looking for a car. And we’re not talking about window shopping: we’re talking about buying.

Last year’s edition saw over 20,000 attendees, and the most impressive thing is that nearly 70% of visitors ended up buying a car, van, camper or caravan during the event. That says something, doesn’t it?

When is the Madrid Motor Show? Dates and times

Make a note of these dates, because if you’re late, you’ll regret it: the Madrid Motor Show 2025 will take place from the 3rd to the 8th of June at IFEMA. And be aware, the opening hours vary depending on the day, so here they are:

3rd to 5th June — Monday to Wednesday: 15:00 to 20:00
6th and 7th June — Thursday and Friday: 11:00 to 21:00

What to see at the Madrid Motor Show 2025

The 2025 edition of the Madrid Motor Show is packed with new features. You’ll find thousands of used and nearly-new vehicles of all kinds, from small city cars to high-end models, SUVs, electric cars, hybrids, vans and even motorhomes. And every single one of them in the best condition. Oh, and if sustainable mobility is your thing, get ready because there’s also a dedicated area for ECO and zero-emission models.

And the best part is that you’ll find some truly tempting prices. Last year’s edition started at €8,000 for the most basic models and went up to €94,000 for premium models, with motorhomes and campers at eye-catching prices between €45,000 and €127,000.

Which brands are taking part? Many, and then some. Some of them include Audi, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Polestar, Seat, Volkswagen, Volvo, Renault Renew and Spoticar — with Abarth, Fiat, Opel, Peugeot, Jeep and more. And don’t forget, you’ll also find multi-brand dealerships such as Automóviles Dursan, Ocasión Plus, Cars&Cars, Crestanevada and Autocaravanas Norte.

As well as browsing cars, you’ll be able to test drive them, discover their features first-hand and compare models all in one place.

Interested in an ECO model or a 100% electric? Here you’ll find the entire range together, because you’re probably wondering which cars can enter Madrid with all the new emissions regulations. And as these rules are being applied in more and more cities, the Motor Show makes it easy for you, with a specific area for these models. Many of them already bear the “ECO” or “ZERO” label, so you’ll be able to move around the city with no problem.

Prefer a nearly-new car with hardly any miles and an extended warranty? You’ll find that too. It’s not just a fair, it’s a complete platform for you to find your next vehicle and, while you’re at it, discover a city as spectacular as Madrid.

Tips for making the most of the IFEMA Motor Show

If you’re planning to visit the Madrid Motor Show 2025, it’s best to come with a clear idea in mind but also with an open mind. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of the experience!

Plan your visit

If you’re after something specific, check the official website for the available brands and models, as well as the venue map. That way, you can head straight there. If you’re sure you want a test drive before buying, don’t wait until the last minute: book it now.

Compare prices and conditions

The offers are unique and temporary, but don’t settle for the first car you see.

The salespeople are there to help you, so ask any questions you need and don’t be afraid to get all the information clear: inspections, maintenance, insurance, financing… And above all, take your time. There’s a lot to see and making a rushed decision is never a good idea.

Don’t forget...

If you’re planning to buy, don’t forget your ID, driving licence and, if possible, the documents for your current car if you’re planning to use it as part exchange.

Why attend the Madrid Motor Show?

The answer is simple: there’s no other event in Spain where you can see so many vehicles, compare models, prices and features, test them and buy them, all in one place.

Also because the prices and conditions offered during the show aren’t repeated at any other time of the year, and if you’re thinking about changing your car, this is the best time. And remember, buying a used vehicle has many advantages:

Lower depreciation
Cheaper insurance
Lower taxes
Immediate availability

What’s more, the average age of cars in Spain is 14.5 years, and buying a nearly-new one helps renew the fleet more quickly, efficiently and sustainably.

And if you’re not convinced, just look at the figures: 2.1 used cars are sold for every new one, proof that more and more of us are opting for smarter, more sustainable and more economical mobility.
