Dates, venue and getting there
The fair runs from 21 August to 30 August 2026 at Western China Expo City in Chengdu. It runs for 10 days, so most buyers attend part of the period rather than the whole of it. Chengdu is the main commercial centre of western China and serves a large regional market that is distinct from the coastal provinces. Buyers targeting inland Chinese distribution often find the exhibitor mix here different from Shanghai or Guangzhou.
Planning your visit
Attending in person allows direct comparison of build quality and finish across manufacturers. Technical staff are usually available to discuss homologation, parts supply and adaptation for different markets. For Chengdu International Motor Show (CDMS) 2026, that means preparing ahead of the August dates and arriving with a target list of stands.
Language and interpreting support
Most exhibitors are Chinese manufacturers, and while larger stands often have English speaking sales staff, that is not something to rely on across a whole venue. English tends to run out exactly where it matters most, once a conversation moves to specifications, tolerances, materials and pricing terms. Buyers working with an interpreter generally cover more ground in a day, because they can negotiate directly rather than through a phone app. An interpreter already working in Chengdu saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.
After the fair
After the fair, verification focuses on standards and parts. Check homologation and certification against your market, confirm spare part availability and lead times, and arrange a production inspection before a first shipment.
