Paris Motorshow 2026: Inovev forecasts 1,000,000 units per year of the new Toyota RAV4 SUV
- Toyota has unveiled the new generation of its mid-range SUV, the RAV4, one of the world's best-selling models, with over one million units projected for 2024. The Toyota RAV4's global reach has steadily increased since the early 2000s, with worldwide sales rising from 224,000 units in 2001 to 400,000 in 2007, 600,000 in 2013, 800,000 in 2017, and a projected 1,000,000 in 2023. The model's continued success is due to the surge in SUV sales worldwide and the inherent qualities of the Toyota model (build quality, genuine off-road capabilities, and hybrid powertrain). This model quickly became the best-selling SUV in the world before being overtaken by the Tesla Model Y, a 100% electric SUV.
- The new Toyota RAV4 will attempt to continue the success of previous generations of the model. The new RAV4 retains very similar proportions to its predecessor (length: 4.62 m vs. 4.60 m, width: 1.88 m vs. 1.86 m, height: 1.69 m vs. 1.69 m). Based on a revised version of the previous RAV4's TNGA G-AK platform, the new model features a 2.5-liter full-hybrid (F-HEV) gasoline engine producing 183 hp /191 hp or a 304 hp plug-in hybrid (PHEV) engine, available in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions. The RAV4 plug-in hybrid is, for the first time, equipped with front-wheel drive and a more powerful 22.6 kWh battery (up from 18.1 kWh), offering an electric range of up to 100 km, 29 km more than the previous RAV4 PHEV. Inovev anticipates 1,000,000 sales per year of the new RAV4, assembled in Japan, Canada, China, and the USA.

Paris Motorshow 2026: Xpeng L03
- Xpeng completes its range with the L03 crossover , which is more compact than the G6 and G9. It is actually a coupe SUV measuring 4.65 m in length, while the G6 measures 4.76 m and the G9 4.89 m.
- The L03 crossover is available with a 100% electric powertrain (BEV) or a range-extended hybrid (REEV) based on a 1.5-litre petrol engine (as in most REEV models).
- This model, which targets a more popular and less affluent clientele, is necessary for the revival of Xpeng , whose sales are declining in 2026 compared to 2025, since the 400,000 global sales will be difficult to achieve over the whole of 2026, whereas the carmaker had come closer to 500,000 global sales in 2025.
- The batteries chosen for the European market will be more powerful than those adopted for the Chinese market , namely 58.3 kWh instead of 56 kWh and 71.2 kWh instead of 69 kWh, which can only improve the model's range on European roads.

Paris Motorshow 2026: Lynk & Co 07 GT
- Lynk & Co brand (a subsidiary of Geely ) chose the Paris Motor Show to present its 07 GT shooting brake in Europe.
- For its very first appearance at the Paris Motor Show, Lynk & Co will not only be exhibiting its models already sold in Europe. The brand will take advantage of this major automotive event to give the 07 GT its European debut. The new shooting brake has just been unveiled in China.
- The carmaker presents its new model as a "Sport Touring". This name is visually translated by a low and elongated silhouette of a shooting brake , halfway between a sedan and a station wagon.
- This appearance at the Paris Motor Show is not simply a stylistic exercise . Lynk & Co fully intends to market the 07 GT in Europe from 2027. It will then complete an offering currently made up of three electrified models: the 01 plug-in hybrid (PHEV), the 02 fully electric (BEV) and the 08 long-range plug-in hybrid (REEV).
- These three cars will also be present in Paris, on the Lynk & Co stand, alongside the new shooting brake . For Lynk & Co, the Paris Motor Show will therefore be an opportunity to showcase both its current product range and the next stage of its European development.
