GAC hung a “Polska premiera” banner over its GS 7 PHEV at the ninth Warsaw Motor Show, and that car sums up this year’s floor. The newest cars came from brands that are still small in Poland, and several of them were Chinese. Leapmotor arrived through Stellantis, DS brought the N°7 that replaces the DS 7, and many of them stood on stands run by Polish dealers.
We photographed the show on its opening day, Friday 9 October, at Ptak Warsaw Expo in Nadarzyn, just outside Warsaw. It ran until Sunday 11 October, and the ninth edition is the organiser’s own count. Before it opened, Polish media promised sports and luxury cars, classics, electric cars, off-road vehicles and tuning projects, with drift displays alongside.
A Floor Run By Dealers
The number plates say who was selling. “Grupa Krotoski” was on the Volkswagen and Audi cars, “Stellantis &You Warszawa” on the Leapmotor, Opel and Citroën cars, “DS Store Warszawa” on the DS and “GAC Jameel Motors Warszawa” on GAC’s. So Warsaw is a retail floor first, and the brands new to the market stood out on it.
GAC GS 7 PHEV: The Car Under The Banner
The GS 7 PHEV is a plug-in hybrid SUV, 4.9 metres long, with a 1.5-litre petrol engine, two electric motors and 496 hp. Auto Świat (7 October 2026) gives it a 35 kWh battery and 141 km of electric range. Poland gets one fully equipped Ultra version at 199,900 zł. Full availability is expected in December, and so far there is one demonstration car in the country.
The banner needs a footnote. Auto Świat said GAC planned the European premiere for Paris, and Vision Mobility’s gallery of 12 October shows the GS 7 PHEV on GAC’s stand there, at a show running until 18 October. Auto Świat’s reviewer also wrote that he had seen the car before its official showing in Warsaw.
GAC Emkoo: A Hybrid Without A Plug
GAC launched the Emkoo Hybrid and the Emzoom in Poland in March 2026, and AutoCentrum called it the first launch in Europe. The Emkoo is a conventional hybrid that needs no plug, and it is 4,680 mm long. Poland sells it in one Luxury trim at 144,900 zł, with a five-year warranty.
Polish reports gave its system output as 192 hp in March and 232 hp from April, so we treat neither figure as settled. No euro price has been published. There is more on the car in our Emkoo Up Close.
GAC Emzoom: The Petrol Option
The Emzoom is a petrol crossover with a 1.5-litre turbo engine rated at 170 hp, a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and a 341-litre boot (Auto Świat, 15 April 2026). It costs 124,900 zł in Poland, and again there is no euro price.
The catch for GAC is how few Poles have bought one so far. Auto Świat, quoting IBRM Samar data, counted 78 GAC registrations in Poland in the first three months of 2026, against 4,137 for MG. So for GAC, Warsaw was a shop window more than a sales event.
Leapmotor B10: Sold Through Stellantis
Leapmotor’s stand carried a Stellantis &You Warszawa plate. The B10 launched in Germany from €29,900 (electrive, 30 July 2025). AutoBild’s German list dated 15 October 2026 runs from €30,400 for the 56.2 kWh Life Pro, with 361 km of range, to €39,500 for the Dynamic Pro Max.
Plug-in hybrid versions cost €32,900 and €34,400. The car on the stand wore only a “B10” plate, so we cannot say which version it is.
Leapmotor B05: Deliveries Due This Year
The B05 is a 4.43-metre compact with a 56.2 or 67.1 kWh battery, 160 kW and 401 to 482 km of range (electrive, 5 May 2026). German prices start at €27,900 for the Life and €31,900 for the Design. Deliveries are due in the second half of 2026.
DS N°7: The DS 7’s Successor
The N°7 replaces the DS 7, and DS revealed it in March 2026. In Germany it starts at €47,700 as a mild hybrid and €56,300 as an electric front-wheel-drive car, according to ecomento (8 May 2026). The long-range version, with up to 740 km, costs €61,700, and all-wheel drive takes it to €66,000.
The DS Store Warszawa address on the plate marks this one as a Polish dealer car. The plate does not say which version it is.
Citroën C3 Aircross: Five Or Seven Seats
The C3 Aircross is a 4.39-metre compact SUV with five or seven seats. At the German launch in June 2024 it cost from €18,490 with the petrol engine and €26,490 as the electric ë-C3 Aircross (Autozeitung). By July 2025 the same list ran from €18,890 to €28,690.

Our Take
Warsaw 2026 showed where the new arrivals in Poland are coming from: GAC with its first European sales, and Leapmotor through Stellantis’s dealers. Both stood on the same floor as the Volkswagen and Audi dealer cars. We have traced how that happened in four years of Warsaw shows.
What to watch now is the organiser’s final count. Ptak Warsaw Expo had published no visitor or exhibitor figure for 2026 when we wrote this, six days after the opening. For the November 2025 show it claimed 34,184 “professionals from 17 countries as well as a wide group of automotive enthusiasts”, which is its own description and not an audited count.
