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 serial car mobile, which had a load-bearing body and front-wheel drive. He was brought manufacturer Citroen, the model was called Traction Avant.
The 1949 exhibition became the place for the presentation of the first mass-produced car from brand Ferrari- 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, the model of which is 128. It was Fiat who managed to get the title of European Car of the Year. It was the 1968 event that distinguished itself a record number 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 significance 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 of the popular crossover as classified. Indeed, the tabloids failed to learn anything about the car that could be interpreted as an infiltration new technology V power nodes 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 with 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. previous model. Motivating by the fact that the Romanian company Dacia completely copied the famous "Frenchman". However, only company icon brand - there are differences, and significant:
- 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 rear dimensions, reminiscent of the sight of small arms.
- By reducing the window sill line, the internal volume of the machine has increased. Now 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 mistaken for budget ones - high quality, antistatic, easy tidying 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 copies from well-known body shops are exhibited for the guests. 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
The tabloid car is the real competition 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 painting 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 the previous version of the SUV, the 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. With. 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 gush with ideas, many of which become the unattainable dream of 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. Internal 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 is an 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 covering 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. Of course, Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce belongs to the premium and whether it will go into the series is still unknown.

We can say with confidence that the 2018 Paris Motor Show will be the launch of a new generation of cars that are strikingly different from the existing ones.
Therefore, there is confidence that the novelties and premieres of the auto show in Paris in 2018 will be extremely interesting.
As they say, a holy place is never empty: Volkswagen did not come to the Paris Motor Show 2018, but a sensation happened on the letter V. Vietnamese manufacturers with the new VinFast brand are located here, it was one of the sensations.
Without false modesty, I will say that my report - the Paris Motor Show 2018, as always, is one of the most detailed. It presents all the brands in alphabetical order and is supplemented by video information from the stands, which Igor Sirin helps me prepare.
In anticipation of the premiere, and they will.
This year Paris has been "changed" by 11 brands, for the first time there is no stand of Volkswagen and its daughters Bentley and Lamborghini. True, there are still Audi, Skoda, Seat and Porsche. Did not swim across the ocean and Ford. Explanation: “We are focusing instead of showrooms on specific presentation formats to bring news about our products, technologies and mobility concepts to the media public.” It is also not visible on the stands of Mazda, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Infiniti. And even the newly acquired PSA concern Opel did not "steal" the show from the French owners of Peugeot and Citroën. And the Swedes with Volvo even in 2014 refused to continue to participate in several auto shows during the year. This year their choice fell on Geneva.
From AvtoVAZ there was only a deputy Director General Jan Ptachek. And it's good that we come for the experience.

The 4.32 m long roadster has grown by 8.5 cm compared to its predecessor, but at the same time it has ... a reduced wheelbase. But the extended track promises improved maneuverability. Moreover, now the weight distribution has become ideal: 50:50.
There are 3 petrol engines to choose from: fours develop 197 and 258 hp, six in the M40i version - 340 hp. The latter allows you to dial the first hundred in 4.5 seconds. However, even more budget fours are by no means slow. With them, the dynamics of 6 and 7 s.

The Spanish subsidiary of Volkswagen has expanded its range of SUV Tarraco models, which, with a length of 4.74 m, can even have a 7-seater saloon.
The proportions of the novelty are comparable to the Skoda Kodiaq, with which it, in fact, shares the platform. Tarraco has a width of 1.84 m, a height of 1.66 m and a wheelbase of 2.79 m. A minimum of 710 liters of luggage can be stowed behind an electrically operated tailgate, with a maximum of up to 1920 liters.
There are 4 different engines to choose from, two petrol and two diesel. The base is 1.5-liter petrol turbo engine at 150 hp and 250 Nm from 1500 rpm. True, with him, you will have to wield the 6-speed manual lever quite often. The 2-liter TSI with 190 horses and 320 Nm better copes with a 1.6-ton car. Here, the gears are already manipulated by a 7-speed DSG box. Well, there are also a couple of 2-liter diesel engines with a capacity of 140 and 190 hp. and torque of 340 and 400 Nm.
Regardless of the engine, all versions of Tarraco accelerate to hundreds in less than 10 seconds and gain over 200 km / h. The difference between them, rather, is in the drive: more powerful versions are all-wheel drive, less powerful ones have only front-wheel drive.
Seat Tarraco has Internet access and a lot of assistants. New among them are the Pre-Crash and Roll-Over assistants, which save the driver from inattention and the danger of a rollover.

Another new version compact SUV – Karoq Scout with a typical all-terrain look, all-wheel drive and a package for bad roads.

The Japanese brought to Paris world premiere Corolla Touring Sports. The European-designed station wagon will also be available in hybrid version and is equipped with a 3D dashboard, head-up display, premium audio system and wireless charging smartphone.

Toyota is also introducing the new Corolla. This world car will again be sold under the good old name. Well, good, otherwise Auris could be confused with our Aurus. The car will be assembled in hatchback, sedan and station wagon bodies.
Vinfast and Paris Motor Show 2018
Like a cherry on a French cake - a premiere of premieres! This is in general new brand, founded last year in Vietnam(!). In Paris, she appeared in the guise of a sedan and SUV, which were painted by the Italian Pinifarina. Both models are rear-wheel drive, although all-wheel drive is also available for the SUV. An eight-speed automatic from ZF sends torque to the wheels. Although the vehicles comply with the latest international standards, local versions will not be equipped with a lane keeping assistant. This is quite natural, given the quality of Vietnamese roads and the manners of drivers.
Vinfast SUV was introduced by the famous football player Beckham.
At the Paris Motor Show, VinFast received a prize from the jury of the European Autobest competition as a rising star.
Vinfast is backed by Vingroup, one of the largest private enterprises in Vietnam with an annual turnover of $3.8 billion. Vingroup is the leading firm in the construction and real estate sectors in the country and is also present in the fields of education, healthcare, Agriculture, tourism and retail. Let's see what she can do now in the automotive industry. By the way, the head of VinFast Trading and Production LLC is not Vietnamese at all. His name is James DeLuca. And "the whole Vietnamese people" took part in the choice between car design options!
Hai Phong has already built a modern car plant with a capacity of up to 500,000 cars a year. And in Germany, they are already developing an electric car for the new company.
