Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of shiny new cars taking the floor at the Paris motor show taking place right now? We wouldn’t blame you if you were, the French brands like Citroën, Peugeot and Renault all upholding national pride with stands full of concepts and new models to make newcomers from further afield work to get their voices heard. Which is as you’d expect! We’ve been covering all the news and reveals in standalone stories you can follow the links to below. But here’s the short version for a sense of what’s hot in Paris right now!
Skip to:
Hyundai Bayon and Tucson N Line
Peugeot E-208 T16 and RCZ concepts
Alpine
Having done 60s retro with its A110 Alpine is now leaning into 70s cool with its A310 concept. Here’s hoping it becomes a reality!
Aion
Chinese newcomer Aion is off to a flying start already with its V and UT – the latter now gets a new ‘lifestyle’ UT Cross option and there’s a new luxury hybrid SUV called the GS7. Read all about them!
Avatr
Heard of Avatr? No? Well, it’s another electrified Chinese brand hitting the European market very much at the premium end of the market. Check out its wares here!
BYD
Safe to say you probably HAVE heard of BYD, given it’s come from nowhere to one of the biggest-selling brands in the UK in the blink of an eye. Learn more about what it’s got at Paris – including the new Atto 8 luxury SUV – right here!
Citroën
The Citroën 2CV is reborn as an affordable electric car? In Paris? That’s probably the story of the show, right? Click here to find out more!
Fiat
Fiat is bringing the Italian colour to Paris with its lifestyle-optimised Multiplay concept, this joined by the Multiplina mini-MPV and cute Topolino twist on the Citroën Ami. The amusingly named Grizzly SUV is more of the here-and-now, or at least actually coming soon!
Geely
Turns out you’re never far from a large and luxurious Chinese SUV at the 2026 Paris show - the Monjaro EM-i is Geely’s offering, and joined by the more off-road focused Project KO11, too.
Hyundai
The Koreans are also in town, Hyundai revealing its all-new Bayon alongside the recently unveiled Tucson, now with a sportier N Line option too.
Leapmotor
As part of the wider Stellantis group of which French brands Citroën and Peugeot are a part Leapmotor bridges the gap between the home squad and Chinese away team! Its new products include the B03 electric city car and a hybrid luxury SUV called the D19.
Peugeot
Peugeot has obviously been looking at the amazing Renault Turbo 3e and wanting a piece of that action. Enter the E-208 T16 concept, inspired by the 80s rally car of the same name. It’s also showing a study for a potential rebirth of the stylish RCZ coupe, and very slinky it looks, too. Click here to read all about both!
Renault
Renault is going large in Paris, with concepts, range-wide tech updates, vans and more. Once again tapping into its formidable heritage the E-Space Concept is a modern reinvention of the classic Espace MPV, and a stylish one at that. Read more about this and the rest of the Renault exhibits here.
Vauxhall
Vauxhall might not be seen as sexy as its French Stellantis stablemates Citroën and Peugeot but it’s not letting them steal all the limelight, its slinky STX concept hoping to reinvent the sporty estate car for the electric age.
