How to get there and where to park
The Panama Convention Center is in Amador, at the start of the Causeway, in Panama City. Access by car is along the Amador Causeway; the venue has its own car parks, which fill up at peak times, so ride-hailing is the usual alternative. The quietest moments are Wednesday and Thursday afternoons at opening; the busiest, Saturdays from 4:00 p.m.
What is inside
- More than 40 brands and more than 150 models, with combustion, diesel, hybrid and electric vehicles, according to Fernando Tristán, chair of ADAP’s Fairs Committee.
- More than 20 banks and credit institutions with pre-approvals on site, plus insurers and accessories.
- Confirmed premieres: new generations of the Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5, Nissan Versa and X-Terra, Hyundai Venue, BMW X5 and iX3, and the country debut of the Zeekr and Leapmotor brands.
- JETOUR, represented by Petromotors, displays the plug-in hybrid off-roader G700, the T1 and the new T2 plug-in hybrid with AWD. Details in JETOUR at the Panama Motor Show 2026.
Five tips for the visit
- Go on a weekday to compare. Sales staff have more time on Wednesday and Thursday than on Saturday night.
- Bring the paperwork. An employment letter, social security record and pay slips allow an almost immediate credit answer.
- Get the offer in writing. Price, down payment, term, rate and what is included, with the adviser’s name.
- Ask whether the promotion continues afterwards. Fair conditions usually stay in the branches for a few weeks.
- Ask for a test drive. It is not always possible at the venue; it is booked at the dealership before signing.
