The date of the annual Chengdu auto show is set, after the Shanghai auto show has just ended and the Beijing auto show has announced its date.

The 26th edition of the Chengdu Motor Show will be held from August 25 to September 3, 2023, the event's organizers mentioned in a post on its official WeChat account Monday.

Separately, information on the Chengdu auto show's official website shows the event will be held at the city's Western China International Expo City, with a media day on August 25.

The Chengdu auto show has become one of China's four A-class auto shows and is the most visible wind vane in the western China auto market, the event's official website reads.

After China's Covid reopening late last year, major events, including auto shows, are highly anticipated because they are important to stimulate economic growth.

The just-concluded biennial Shanghai auto show, held April 18-27, attracted nearly 1 million visitors, with new energy vehicles (NEVs) in the spotlight.

The Shanghai auto show, which officially closed on April 27, hosted more than 13,000 global media workers and had 906,000 visitors, the show's organizers said in an April 27 article.

The total exhibition area of the Shanghai auto show exceeded 360,000 square meters, with 1,413 vehicles on display in the vehicle section, including 513 NEV show cars, according to the article.

On April 21, during the Shanghai auto show, the organizers of the Beijing auto show announced that the 17th Beijing International Automotive Exhibition (Auto China 2024) will be held from April 25 to May 4, 2024, which will mark the event's return after a four-year hiatus.

The Beijing auto show has been held in Beijing every two years since 1990. The 17th Beijing auto show was originally planned for April 21-April 30, 2022, but was cancelled due to Covid concerns.

Prior to that, the 16th Beijing auto show was postponed to September 26-October 5, 2020 due to Covid.

Last year's Chengdu auto show opened on August 26 amid Covid concerns, but the show, which was to run for 10 days, ended early on August 30 due to epidemic control after four days.

More than 1,600 vehicles from 128 brands were on display in Chengdu at the time. Before that show ended, 108 new models were unveiled, more than 40 of which were NEVs.

At last year's Chengdu auto show, NIO presented the full range of models and also brought a battery swap station with a transparent bottom.
