The eighth edition of the Salon de l'Automobile is set to open at the Swami Vivekananda International Convention Centre (SVICC) in Pailles, Mauritius, running from August 7 to 9.
Organizers are positioning the three-day event as a key platform for consumers to explore the latest vehicle models and secure competitive offers in the local market.
The timing of the salon aligns with broader industry shifts toward making electric vehicles more accessible.
In Europe, manufacturers are increasingly adopting aggressive leasing models to drive adoption.
For instance, Leapmotor has introduced its T03 electric vehicle in Germany with a monthly leasing rate of €48.90, a price point that reportedly undercuts the average cost of a mobile phone contract.
Similarly, the French government launched the third edition of its social leasing program for electric vehicles on July 16.
