This year's free-to-attend Motorexpo at London's Canary Wharf has just announced that five models will be added to the list of UK debuts in an attempt to exceed the 460,000 attendees it had last year.
Already confirmed for the event are Jaguar's F-Type and all new Range Rover Sport; with the all-electric BMW i3 concept, Lotus Exige S, Jeep Grand Cherokee, new Infiniti Q50 and facelifted Skoda Superb added to the list of UK debuts.
As well as UK firsts, manufacturers from across the globe will bring their latest models for visitors to see in a barrier-free environment. Exhibitors range from Ferrari and Lamborghini, to Mercedes-Benz and Lexus, to Kia and SEAT; providing a good blend of cars on display.
Unlike traditional motor shows, the models needn't just be static examples; as many can be test driven upon request around the streets of Canary Wharf. In addition, the 97-acre plot that is Canary Wharf is home to some 240 shops and restaurants, ensuring that all visitors are well catered for.
As well as the exhibition, the Motorexpo will play host to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders' annual International Automotive Summit for the second year running. The Summit will take place on Thursday 13th June where 250 senior figures across the automotive spectrum will discuss the most pressing issues in the industry.
The 2013 Motorexpo will run from Monday 10th - Saturday 15th June between 10am and 6pm; and Sunday 16th June from 11am to 5pm. Visit the official website at
