Paris Motor Show 2026: European electric vehicles and Chinese offensive

The Paris Motor Show 2026 was marked by the presentation of European electric concepts and models, as well as a strong presence of Chinese manufacturers, with 22 brands representing more than a third of the exhibitors. The smart #2 and its special Couture Edition series met with great success, the latter already sold out. Fiat exhibited several new models, while Alfa Romeo announced a sporty concept and Lancia recorded a majority of electric orders for its Gamma. Foreign observers measured the Chinese models on display, indicating interest in their design and perceived quality, and the new electric models also drew inspiration from past styling codes. Coverage of the dossier in China and the United States focuses on the same show, with no apparent national divergence in the provided elements.
