Themed "focus on technology, future and market," the 10-day event, billed as Shenzhen's first major automotive show in 2026, will spotlight the transformation of mobility.

This year's event will debut an innovative "the city as the exhibition" model, bringing cutting-edge mobility technologies beyond the exhibition halls and into the urban environment.

Planned experience routes will span multiple levels and scenarios, including L2 experiences on city roads, advanced L3 intelligent driving on open roads, and L4 Robotaxi routes.

By incorporating light shows, pop-up activities, and interactive science hubs on intelligent driving, the auto show will enable the public to experience firsthand the evolution of smart mobility at close range.

As one of the show's highlights, the Man Machine Mobility 2026 conference, also known as M Cube 2026, will bring together automotive industry core decision-makers, tech firm heads and top scholars from around the world. Through summits, forums and more, participants will engage in in-depth discussions on new industry paradigms driven by artificial intelligence.
