With the fast-growing automotive industry, more and more Chinese consumers are enjoying the car lifestyle. Owning a car means convenient transport and the excitement of four wheels. But can it also better express individuality and create joy in life? Fashion-forward Shanghai, the dynamic metropolis, is certainly ready to offer Chinese car enthusiasts the latest global car customization solutions—and the answer can be found at the annual CAS Tuning Car Show held in Anting, Shanghai International Automobile City.
Since 2011, the CAS Shanghai Tuning Car Show 【China (Shanghai) International Automobile Upgrade and Aftermarket Products Exhibition】 has attracted over a hundred well-known brands from the global automotive aftermarket and tuning industry to showcase their new products and technologies tailored for the Chinese market. The exhibition spans 50,000 square meters both indoors and outdoors. In addition to tuning brand exhibitors, car customization and modification service shops from across the country also present their latest modified car creations on the CAS stage. Each year, the CAS Tuning Car Show features over 100 modified vehicles for attendees to view and reference, covering all the most modifiable models currently on the market. These meticulously designed show cars, created through the joint efforts of tuning shops, parts suppliers, and car owners, meet the stringent standards and discerning eyes of car tuning professionals. They instantly capture the admiration of onlookers. A variety of custom tuning styles cater to every car owner’s desire to transform their ride. The show welcomes over 50,000 professionals and passionate car fans. National auto media bring their cameras to capture photos of these one-of-a-kind modified vehicles. English, Japanese, and German auto technical dictionaries are essential tools for enthusiasts studying specially designed parts and exchanging ideas with global automotive sport technology experts.
As a major thematic exhibition that brings together elite technical products from the automotive tuning and aftermarket industry and the dream cars of Chinese car enthusiasts, this year’s show takes place during the third weekend of September, from September 13 to 15. During the three-day event, CAS also offers many unique activities: the Glamorous Car Show Stage—featuring hot tuning car models and cool modified cars strutting together; the Thrilling Drift Show—boosting adrenaline with outdoor drifting and motorcycle stunt performances; the CAS Tuning Car Awards, the Anting Forum on the Tuning Industry, and the CAS Salon Night, among other interactive industry events, which have become barometers of industry trends.
Having successfully held two editions, the CAS Tuning Show has developed a unique appeal and influence among car enthusiasts. In addition to further solidifying its position as “the largest and most international-scale automotive aftermarket and tuning culture exhibition in Mainland China,” its goal is to promote a high-quality car culture befitting a major automotive nation in China. The organizing committee hopes that through the resource integration and display of China’s automotive aftermarket, aftermarket parts, and tuning industry chain at this show, it will not only provide global industry players with insights into the development direction of China’s tuning consumer market and a platform for business cooperation, but also help Chinese car consumers gain a deeper understanding of cars and see them as stylish companions for enjoying life. It also aims to encourage more confident and safe driving, allowing them to experience the thrill of speed.
