All automotive roads lead to Paris Starting on Monday, the City of Light hosts its flagship motor show, with French and Chinese carmakers dominating the event with new reveals.
Its importance is such that two years ago President Macron personally inaugurated it. Will you do it this year?
Renault presents its long-awaited Renault 4 E-Tech, a fully electric and contemporary reincarnation of the classic, practical and economical flat-floor ‘Four’, which in 1961 revolutionized the automobile market and acquired cult status, selling more than 8 million in 100 countries until 1994.
At the center of the stage: at the fair will be the new generation of Renault Twingo, reborn as a fully electric supermini
Also at the show will be the new generation Renault Twingo, reborn as an all-electric supermini and due to go on sale in the UK in 2026 from around £17,000.
Others include an Alpine A390 concept, the Peugeot e408, Citroën’s eC3 Aircross and an AMI concept.
Chinese exhibitors include BYD and Leapmotor.
