► CAR’s A-Z of all the Paris motor show reveals
► 2024 show will feature French brands heavily
► New Renault 4, Dacia Bigster, Mini JCW and more
The 90th edition of the Paris motor show, officially called the Mondial de L’Auto, opens its doors on 14 October 2024. It’s France’s main car show, and alternates with IAA Mobility – the automotive and tech show based in Munich.
You can safely expect a strong showing from the domestic brands, but other manufacturers will muscle into the 2024 Paris motor show, too. We’ll keep this page up to date with all of the latest new car debuts from the show floor in the coming days.
CAR’s A-Z rundown of the Paris motor show’s new car reveals
ALFA ROMEO
Junior Ibrida
Alfa’s confirmed a hybrid version of its Junior will arrive at the Paris show to go alongside the Elettrica model
ALPINE
A390_β concept
This is what will preview 2025’s electric crossover from Alpine. It’s a swooping, low-roof SUV promising sports car thrills with a tri-motor EV set-up and nifty torque vectoring for razor-sharp handling. Yes, they really are claiming it’s as fast and dynamic as an A110 sports car – just repackaged for family duties.
A290
The Paris show is simply another opportunity to get some more show time for Alpine’s upcoming hot hatch in production form.
BYD
‘New European product’
BYD has confirmed attendance, saying it will be promoting its range of cars at the show and launching something new for the European market.
CITROEN
‘Expressive’ concept car
Citroen’s main show star will be a new concept, likely previewing the next-generation C5 Aircross. The brand says the new concept is ‘highly expressive’ and remains ‘faithful to Citroen’s new styling language,’ adding that it ‘is no doubt that this illustration of a future model in a major segment will appeal to visitors.’
C3
We’ve already driven the new C3, as well as its electric e-C3 sibling. Citroen says this is another opportunity to get its low-cost and super-simple new city car in front of as many people as possible.
C4 facelift
Citroen is also priming an update to its wacky hatchback/crossover combo, injecting a bit of fresh design and likely some new technology into the mix. The brand says the updated models will ‘adopt a simpler, more coherent design that reflects the Brand’s new identity.’
DACIA
Bigster
Dacia’s larger SUV has been officially revealed ahead of its public debut at the show. The brand previewed a larger family SUV with the Bigster concept back in 2021, with this production spec one going on sale in the first few months of 2025.
MINI
John Cooper Works
You can’t have a Mini model without a spicy JCW version. But this time, both the combustion model and electric version of Mini’s hatch will benefit from JCW models. Leaked images online also show an Aceman JCW.
MOBILIZE
Duo and Bento
A pair of urban-focused tiny tots will star at Renault’s new mobility sub brand – the Duo and Bento are the spiritual successors to the Twizy and there’ll be a passenger and commercial version.
PEUGEOT
e-408
Simply a new powertrain for Peugeot’s striking crossover. The brand says the e-408 ‘completes the EV line-up’, offering around 280 miles of range from its 58.2kWh battery pack.
RENAULT
4 EV
Renault is continuing to pump that retro well with its new 4, with the first teasers of the fresh new model having already been released. The taller, boxier small EV is designed to be a crossover compatriot to the Renault 5 supermini. We’re expecting the R4 to be the biggest new car reveal of the entire show.
Embleme
Renault’s vision of the future goes beyond pumping the retro design well. This is a lightweight, grand and electric/hydrogen hybrid vision of where the brand wants to go in the years to come.
Twingo
It’s our first chance to see the new Mk4 Twingo in the metal, after it was teased at last year’s investors’ day. A proper return to the 1992 original, the monobox EV is cute, clever and coming in 2026… hopefully (right-hand drive sales are not yet confirmed).
