History of the Paris Motor Show
The first time the event took place in the summer of 1898, right in the center of the French capital. The advanced technology of that period was exhibited in the Tuileries - this is the most beautiful Parisian garden. The exhibition was held on the area, the size of which is 2.5 km2. But the first show was small - the audience saw a couple of cars, which made the Europeans treat the event with a little skepticism. Even the President of France attended the opening of the exhibition.
The event was held again two years later in 1901, the Grand Palaris pavilion was chosen for it, which was erected directly for the Paris Motor Show. The participants were French and American manufacturers. After that, it was decided to hold exhibitions annually. In 1946, an auto show was held in another region of France, this is the city of Frankfurt. The exhibitions alternated among themselves in odd years.
The Peugeot brand in 1029 showed the world a novelty - 201 models, and in 1934 the guests of the Paris Motor Show were able to get acquainted with the first production car that had load-bearing body and front wheel drive. It was brought by the manufacturer Citroen, the model was called Traction Avant.
The 1949 exhibition became the place for the presentation of the first mass car from the Ferrari brand - it was a car of the 166 Inter coupe model, it was equipped with a V12 engine for two liters of fuel, which produced up to 140 horses. This was a watershed moment for Ferrari, as previously the production had specialized only in racing cars.
The Paris Auto Show in 1966 is famous for the first production car from Lamborghini, the Miura model. In 1968, the new Carabo appeared - a conceptual version from Alfa Romeo, at the same time the guests presented their car and Fiat, whose model is 128. It was Fiat who managed to get the title European car of the year. It was the 1968 event that was distinguished by a record number of guests, which surpassed a million people.
In 2016, the event was called the Mondial Paris Motor Show, although from 1986 to 2018 it had a different name - Mondial de l'Automobile, and even earlier it was the Salon de l'Automobile exhibition.
Paris Motor Show 2017
Motor Shows in Paris have always been distinguished by the special chic inherent in the French. It was no less pretentious this season - from October 2 to October 14, 2017. As always, the show justifies its own name - the World Automobile Exhibition. Presentation models are represented by all the world's leading bodywork studios - European and Asian. What do you remember about the car show in Paris, which cars will get a "start in life", which impressed the audience and investors - read on.
In addition to directly presenting the expected models to the audience, the Paris Motor Show always finds something to surprise its guests. For example, this year, the end of the show was timed to coincide with the chestnut holiday - the country's national nut. Millions of dishes are prepared from it, dances, poems and odes are dedicated to it. The long tradition of the auto show in Paris gathers almost more tourists, guests and local residents than the car show. In addition to the “chestnut” holiday, combined with the end of the car exhibition, the following awaited numerous participants in the Paris Motor Show:
- Sensations from Peugeot.
- Presentation of new sub-brands from German engineers.
- New electric cars from famous brands.
- Elite cars.
The splendor of the Paris Motor Show was emphasized by the invited girls representing the model of a particular country. The level of the holiday of world importance was observed.
To evaluate each presented model, we offer you an overview of the new products of the Paris Motor Show. As usual, national brands are the first to be presented as the hosts of the exhibition:
New Duster
Even before the start of the exhibition, the global French brand announced the model popular crossover as a secret. Indeed, the tabloids failed to learn anything about the car that could be interpreted as an infiltration new technology into power units or a fundamentally changed design of the body and interior. This fueled the interest of brand lovers who wanted to get to the auto show in Paris. What is in reality?
Disappointment from the appearance of the car became somewhat premature - the media in the early days of the Paris Motor Show tried to stir up a scandal by advertising it as a restyled version of the previous model. Motivating by the fact that the Romanian company Dacia completely copied the famous "Frenchman". However, only the brand icon of the brand has become an analogue - there are differences, and significant ones:
- Completely redesigned body panels and tailgate. From this, the crossover has become more muscular, truly masculine.
- The stylization of the head optics and radiator grille under the Jeep Renegade delighted SUV lovers.
- No less impressive are the rear dimensions, reminiscent of the sight of small arms.
- By reducing the window sill line, the internal volume of the machine has increased. Now the luggage compartment can accommodate more than 600 kg of cargo, the height of the cabin allows passengers to feel in complete comfort.
- The power unit received two clutches and a six-speed robotic automatic transmission. This will slightly increase the price of the model, however, comfort and safety, given the realities of the "stone jungle", are worth it.
- Finishing materials can no longer be taken for budget - high quality, anti-static, easy to clean up.
Naturally, the design changes also affected the control panel - the architecture does not resemble the previous one. Serially, the car will be presented in four trim levels, however, even "premium" models are quite affordable. Of course, a new update of this car is worth waiting for at the Paris Motor Show 2018.
Peugeot 3008 DKR
The show featured an exhibit that the no less pretentious Paris Dakar Rally would not do without. This is the Peugeot 3008 DKR, built specifically for racing. Naturally, he will not go into the series, however, interest in him as an SUV has been increased. According to the guests, fans of racing, this novelty of the Paris Motor Show 2017 has overtaken analogues for many years to come, which is why the driver, given his skill, is provided with a medal place in the races.
Renault Trezor
Another highlight at the 2017 Paris Auto Show. The car's futuristic design is a bid for the future of the French auto industry. The low concept car features a folding hood, autonomous driving and a powerful electric drive. The two-seat car has already earned the status of an elite model.
Foreign models at the Paris Motor Show
Naturally, the world auto show will not do without "overseas" representations. Given that the auto show in Paris is comparable only to the Frankfurt Motor Show, only the best and newest specimens from well-known body shops are exhibited for the guests' judgment. We have selected the most interested audience:
Volkswagen ID
Judging by this novelty of the Paris Motor Show, the German auto industry is seriously engaged in the development of family electric cars. The first extended-range hatchback will eventually push traditional liquid-fuel vehicles off the road. Improvements are also underway hydrogen engine– previous European exhibitions have shown consumer interest in German cars on environmentally friendly fuel.
BMW X2
According to the tabloids, the car is a real competitor to the Range Rover Evoque. The low roof, combined with small windows, makes the crossover sporty. The corresponding filling is appreciated by many - in 2018, the car went on sale en masse.
The concern also showed models at the auto show in Paris that were recognized and put into series. These are BMW i3 and BMW i8 Garage Italia Crossfade. What is new in them? This is a special coloring technology, when one shade passes into another, which makes the car look unearthly in the light of spotlights or night city lighting. To match the color and interior color, including upholstery and plastic parts.
Mercedes-Benz Generation EQ
The flagship of the electric era of the German car industry was also presented at the Paris Motor Show. A mileage of 500 km, a stylish design and a unique look make it possible to include it in serial production until 2025 - such is the demand for the presented model. The first sales are scheduled for autumn 2019.
Audi Q5
From previous version SUV, a new model presented at the Paris Motor Show, is distinguished by its light chassis and five-link suspension. In general, the Audi Q5 is a hybrid of the power of a supercar and the practicality of an urban SUV. Power of 450 liters. from. evokes respect.
Lexus UX concept
Met the expectations of the visitors of the auto show in Paris and Japanese auto industry All investors are following him with interest. The Japanese are gushing with ideas, many of which are becoming an unattainable dream other concerns. An example of this is the Lexus UX concept car, which became one of the sensations at the Paris Motor Show. The car looks sharp and angular, as befits an SUV. The interior design is high-tech with innovative technologies intertwined with traditional motifs.
Nissan Micra
The most controversial car from the Japanese concern, also debuted at the auto show in Paris. The small body and life-affirming color immediately fell in love with the fair sex. Men condescendingly accepted the exhibition model. And in vain ... Behind the bright "wrapper" is quite a "beast", because this is a Japanese quality, therefore power, power units, safety and working life are always on top. However, the car was not highly rated, given the majority of male votes.
Seat Ateca X-perience
Another novelty at the auto show in Paris - all-wheel drive hit from Spanish manufacturers with a powerful turbodiesel and brutal appearance. The car appeared as a result of successful experiments with another SUV model. Now the car represents a real "threat" to the Qashqai's popularity. And given the fact that sales will begin as early as 2018, it is able to completely oust a competitor from the market.
Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce
And finally Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce, the most anticipated car at the Paris Motor Show, according to the readers of the European magazine that covers the event - Autocar. The model became the winner in the nomination "People's vote" and bypassed such giants as Ferrari, Land Rover, Porsche in new bodies and modifications. Definitely Alpha. Romeo Giulia Veloce belongs to the premium ones and whether it will go into the series is still unknown.
