It might not be apparent (yet) to your average car buyer, but gearheads and auto journalists have surely noticed the growing importance of China’s motor shows over the past few years.
Not too long ago, we often monitored events like the Auto China Show only for its bizarrely styled creations from manufacturers we had never heard before and which many times resembled or blatantly copied designs from western carmakers.
True, odd-looking cars and clones continue to be part of the allure of China’s motor show scene, but nowadays, we’re also treated to a number of significant world premieres, which will only increase in the coming years.
Being that today is the last day of the 2013 edition of the bi-annual Auto China Show in Shanghai that alternates with the Beijing Auto Show, and even though we’ve mentioned all the important world debuts such as the BMW X4 study, the Ford Escort Concept and the Maserati Ghibli, we thought you may want to take a photo tour of the event and check out what else was on display at the show.
