► CAR’s A-Z guide to IAA 2025 show
► Munich’s predicted stars revealed
► Plus your guide to entry times and tickets
This year’s Munich motor show – officially named IAA Mobility 2025 – is shaping up to be one of the biggest and most important in recent history.
All of the big car makers are turning out this year – perhaps more than most have since the pandemic knocked the industry’s confidence and budgets – with major announcements from the likes of BMW, Volkswagen Group, Mercedes-Benz and Polestar.
The IAA itself has also published its list of all attendees that will have their own press conference, so we’ve heavily revised this list as of 20 August to include way more manufacturers than before.
Keep scrolling for all we know about the cars expected to make their official debut at the 2025 Munich motor show.
Munich motor show 2025: A-Z list of car reveals
AUDI
Design concept
A statement of intent from the Four Rings, designed to show off the brand’s new design direction. Our intel sources suggest it comes in the shape of a sports car, and is new chief creative officer Massimo Frascella’s north star project that aims to make Audi’s look cleaner and less complicated in the future.
BMW
iX3
A new generation of BMW’s high-selling electric SUV, but there’s far more to it than that. The new iX3 is the first car from BMW’s ‘Neue Klasse’ project, meaning it’s been engineered, designed and developed from the ground up with new tech, more efficient batteries and motors as well as a new design language. We’ve already driven a prototype – and it’s rather good – but the covers finally come off at IAA.
BYD
Seal 06
A plug-in hybrid saloon and estate are destined to launch in the UK and Europe, with the Munich show likely being the first time we’ll see them in the metal. We may also see more from the Denza sub-brand, too.
CUPRA
Tindaya concept
Cupra’s growing confidence, as well as its continuance for stealing Seat’s lunch money, means another show car for us to gawp at. The Tindaya, named after a volcano on the island of Fuerteventura and is designed to show us design cues of its future models. Cupra says the Tindaya ‘delivers the maximum expression of driver focus, while offering a unique experience, enhancing the driver’s emotions.’
Raval
The sporty Spanish brand has also confirmed that the Raval will be at the show this year, albeit under camouflage. This is part of the wider VW Group’s plans for all its ‘Core’ brands to unveil their ‘Electric Urban Cars’ at the event – albeit seemingly at different stages of readiness.
HYUNDAI
Ioniq 2
Our first nod to Hyundai’s next car came earlier in the summer, with Hyundai’s Xavier Martinet giving us clues to the new model. The new Ioniq 2 will be the first Hyundai to use the Group’s new Pleos software, as well as the now well-established E-GMP architecture.
LEAPMOTOR
B10
A new electric C-segment SUV from half-Chinese, half-Stellantis brand Leapmotor is on the way. Leapmotors claims the B10 is designed to be competitively priced against cars in the same segment (like the Nissan Qashqai and VW Tiguan).
MERCEDES
GLC
One of Mercedes’ best-selling cars will launch with a new generation that will include an electric variant. We’ve already driven a prototype of the new model and gotten more details out of CEO Ola Kallenius, with this being the first of a new era of Mercedes models to feature both combustion and electric models that run in parallel with the same name.
AMG GT Track Sport
Affalterbach calls this ‘a preview of a possible expansion of the GT series with a V8 engine,’ hinting that the high-performance arm of Mercedes isn’t done with engines just yet. A massive rear wing and what looks like a sharp front splitter could imply a new Black Series model.
AMG GT XX
AMG’s show car for its new generation of electric performance car technology. Some of the design elements will be toned down for the eventual production car – the next AMG GT four door – but the extreme power from the axial flux electric motors and new high-capacity, high-charging batteries certainly won’t.
POLESTAR
5 four-door
Finally – Polestar’s long-drawn-out rival to the Porsche Taycan and Lotus Emeya makes its official debut at the Munich show this year. Plenty is already known about the new model, with Polestar promising an 800-volt electrical architecture, max power north of 850bhp and the brand’s first dedicated platform underneath.
PORSCHE
Cayenne Electric
Like a Cayenne, but electric. Follows on from Porsche’s strategy of offering a Macan… but electric. Porsche has already given us a few details about the new model, since it’s been rather busy invading the Shelsley Hill Climb and tackling the Goodwood Festival of Speed as part of its testing rotation.
RENAULT
Clio
Renault has confirmed it intends to launch an all-new generation of Clio at Munich. Little is known so far, but we expect this to be a proper all-new generation (unlike the last one) which will be available with combustion and hybrid power to keep it separate from the 5 electric car.
SMART
TBC
Smart is in the confirmed list of press conferences at the show, but there’s no official word on what it’ll be showing. However, rumours are swirling about the brand returning to its small car roots; Dirk Adelmann, European boss of Smart, says the brand isn’t ruling out creating a small city car again and has ‘reserved even numbers for something that’s not an SUV.’
SKODA
Vision O concept
Skoda has confirmed a new concept car for this year’s show that previews a new generation of Octavia estate. The brand’s CEO, Klaus Zellmer, has already confirmed to CAR that the next model will be ‘controversial.’ Skoda points out that the Vision O concept ‘an outlook on the brand’s future in the estate segment and is marking an evolution of the Modern Solid design language.’
Epiq
Skoda’s version of the ‘electric urban family car’ tagline the VW Group is busy pushing out. While VW and Cupra will offer a proper supermini, Skoda is sticking to SUVs at this size to differentiate it more from the other ‘Core’ brands.
Space SUV
Designed to be the flagship of the brand’s electric range, Skoda is primed to unveil a seven-seat SUV to sit alongside the Kodiaq, with heavy design cues based off the Vision 7S concept car. Munich’s show could be the place to do it.
VAUXHALL
Corsa GSE Gran Turismo concept
The Griffin (/Opel’s thunderbolt) is returning to Munich with a new, super racy concept car that’s designed to expand the outlook of its GSE brand. It’s also a subtle look at design cues that’ll be applied to the next generation Corsa supermini, which we’re due to see in a couple of years.
VOLKSWAGEN
ID.2
Like the other ‘Core’ VW Group brands, Volkswagen is expected to show us something more tangible about its Polo-sized electric car that’s been heavily inspired by the ID.2All concept.
ID.2 X
A crossover version of VW’s smallest electric car yet has already been confirmed, with the brand outlining a silhouette of the upcoming new baby SUV. We could find out more about the
T-Roc
A massive seller for Volkswagen, which has confirmed it’ll launch at the show. We’ve spotted it testing and wrapped up in camouflage, with those mules hinting at a conservative design with a stretched bonnet and the latest version of VW Group’s electrified engine range.
XPENG
X9
Xpeng’s grandiose, ultra-luxe MPV is next up in the European product launch plan so it’s likely to launch here. It’s brimming with tech and autonomous features, as well as ‘zero gravity’ seats for occupants.
P7
Another future model from the tech-focused Chinese brand that’s likely to get its first public outing in Europe. It’s a sporty saloon that’ll inevitably take on cars like the Porsche Taycan, Audi e-Tron GT and the Polestar 5 that also features on this very page.
