Between the confirmed houses At the moment there are also the South Korean brand Kia and the Chinese brand Seres.
A promising return
In recent years, the Paris Motor Show, like other similar events, has suffered a lot. In 2020 it was not held due to the Covid pandemic and then, when it returned in 2022 (the Paris Motor Show is historically held every two years, alternating with Germany’s main motor show, the IAA, organised by the VDA), it was held in a reduced format, with only French car manufacturers and BYD present.
L’2024 edition so it looks interesting and offers a sign of hope for European events (remember that the important Geneva Motor Show has been canceled). The next IAA will be held in Munich in 2025.
Who will be there and who won’t?
Volkswagen will be present at the Paris Motor Show with its light commercial vehicle division and will present the seven-seater SUV Tayron and the ID. GTI concept. Audi will reveal the Q6 e-tron and the future A6 e-tron (perhaps also the facelift of the e-tron GT).
Among the brands that have communicated to Automotive News Europe that they will not participate At the Paris Motor Show there are Mercedes, the Volkswagen Group brands Cupra and Seat, Ford, Hyundai, Jeep, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Suzuki and the Geely brands (Volvo, Polestar and Zeekr).
Toyota and Stellantis’ non-French brands (Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia) are among the “undecided”. For now, the Chinese MG, BYD, Chery and Great Wall are absent.
