10 Cars to See at the 2026 Auto Show
- Published on 13/10/2026 11:02
An electric 2 CV, a reinvented Multipla, or an Alpine that brings back memories: the 2026 Paris Motor Show is sure to pique curiosity. Here are ten cars worth seeing in Paris.
It’s hard to see everything at the Porte de Versailles without ending up with heavy legs and muddled thoughts. To guide your visit, here’s a selection of spectacular concepts. Ten stops to dream, compare, and discover the various directions taken by the automotive world.
Renault 8 Gordini Concept: the Gorde makes its revolution
The compact sedan that has trained many drivers becomes a low, wide, two-seater electric coupe powered by 270 hp. Is it sacrilege? Renault at least retains one essential ingredient: propulsion. This reinterpretation embraces its competition-inspired proportions and its status as a styling exercise, with no commercialization planned. A car to admire for its details and audacity, even if you leave regretting that it remains a one-off.
Citroën 2 CV Concept: the great small curiosity
It’s hard to miss this one. Citroën resurrects the spirit of the Deudeuche with an electric concept that focuses on simplicity and nods to the past, right down to the manually opening canvas roof. The announced goal for the production model, expected in 2028, is a price of 15,000 euros. A promise that deserves as much attention as its silhouette: reinventing a popular car also means making it accessible.
Fiat Multiplay: the Multipla dares to return
It took courage to pick up the baton of the Multipla. With the Multiplay, Fiat primarily retains its taste for original ideas: this concept can transform from a six-seat MPV to a pickup. A proposal that brings a bit of whimsy back to the family car. Worth seeing for its look, but also for its reflection on usage. For now, it remains a laboratory of ideas.
Alpine A310 Vision: nostalgia at ground level
Alpine has treasures beyond the A110, as demonstrated by the A310 Vision. Low, expressive, and rich in references to the 1970s, this study reinterprets a major figure from Dieppe’s heritage. It celebrates the 55th anniversary of the four-cylinder A310 and the 50th anniversary of the V6. A stop for enthusiasts, keeping in mind that a concept does not equal confirmation of commercialization.
Renault E-Space Concept: the return of the living car
What if the family future retraced the steps back to the MPV? With the E-Space Concept, Renault places volume, light, and life on board at the center of its design. Its monovolume silhouette revisits the idea of the original Espace with a contemporary interpretation. The interest of this study lies in the question it poses: why not design a car anew around its passengers?
Alfa Romeo Cuorerosso: the heart has its reasons
With its Cuorerosso concept, Alfa Romeo gives a good reason to slow down in the aisles. This 2+2 coupe combines a low silhouette, sculpted surfaces, and a truncated rear, nodding to Italian sports heritage. Its red paint plays with light to attract attention. Without directly announcing a production model, it sketches the stylistic directions of upcoming Alfas. A stop for the pleasure of the eyes, without even opening the technical sheet.
Opel STX Concept: the station wagon regains color
A station wagon can also turn heads. Opel reminds us of this with the STX Concept, an electric study exploring the future of this family body style with a sleek design and a sporty look. A welcome proposal to put style back at the heart of practical cars. To be discovered for its proportions and the aesthetic avenues it opens for the brand: transporting luggage deserves a bit of flair too.
DS F3VER: change of silhouette
DS is preparing an evolution of its small car with the F3VER concept. This gives a glimpse of the future DS 3, which is set to change significantly. A good reason to linger over the proportions and the details of this study: beyond presentation effects, it allows for contemplation of features that could find their way onto the road. However, we’ll have to wait for the final model.
Peugeot RCZ Vision: the return of the beautiful coupe
The RCZ left some regrets. Peugeot rekindles the flame with this electric concept that reinterprets its double-bubble roof and characteristic arches. Beneath this spectacular silhouette, the brand announces 500 hp and a solid electrolyte battery. But the primary reason to stop is aesthetic: taking the time to walk around a coupe that reminds us that a Peugeot can also be bought with the eyes. At least, if this concept ever sees a lineage…
Peugeot E-T16 Concept: the Turbo 16 under high tension
With flared fenders, a large wing, and references to the legendary 205 T16: Peugeot revives its rally years with a frankly unreasonable electric interpretation. The brand announces 816 hp for this concept, whose entire rear body tilts, just like its illustrious predecessor. Beyond the spectacle, the E-T16 also gives hints about the style of the upcoming E-208. A rather delightful way to prepare the future of an urban car.
