Paris Motorshow 2022: Introduction
₋ The “Paris Motor Show" will take place in Paris the week of October 17 to 23. This event generally takes place every two years but due to the pandemic the last edition dates back to 2018, that of 2020 having been cancelled. This “Mondial” is being held in a particular context: sluggishness of the market in Europe, and development of new means of communication leading to less attractiveness of the shows for the public. Unlike all previous shows, this event will not be intended to bring together all manufacturers, but will be targeted.
₋ Will be present:
§ French brands: Renault group (Renault, Dacia, Alpine) and Stellantis (mainly with French brands and the american brand Jeep).
§ Chinese brands: ORA and Wey (both belonging to the Great Wall group), BYD and Leap motors.
§ A Vietnamese brand: Vinfast.
§ Two start-ups (French-based) targeting the hydrogen vehicle market: Hopium and NamX.
§ A collection of brands targeting the small urban vehicle market: Aixam, City transformer, Eon motors, E-go mobile, KG auto, Microlino, Mobilize, Silence, XEVs Cars, etc.
§ Influencers (such as Vilebrequin).
₋ In the rest of this document, are presented the novelties announced by these players:
§ Renault-Nissan: Renault will present its R4 and R5 concepts as well as the Scenic Vision. The battery electric versions of the Austral and the Megane will also be presented. Renault's latest brand, Mobilize, will also present its new vehicles on this occasion, including the Mobilize Duo small car. Dacia will present its Manifesto concept car as well as facelifted Sandero, Jogger and Duster models. Sports carmaker Alpine will bring an as-yet-unknown concept car to the show as well as the A110 R and battery electric A110 E-ternity.

Peugeot will present the new 408 crossover as well as the 508 PSE and 9x8 models. Jeep will present its first battery electric SUV, the Avenger, which will sit below the Renegade in the Jeep range.
§ French-based “Hydrogen” start-up: Hopium will present its sports sedan concept, named Machina, and NamX its HUV named model, an SUV, both of which will be powered by hydrogen.
§ Chinese carmakers: Electric carmaker BYD will showcase the Atto 3 (a compact SUV), Tang (a large SUV) and Han (a sedan), with an expected release in Europe in Q4 2022. Great Wall will present the compact Ora Cat. Seres will present its large SUV, the Seres 5.
§ Vietnamese carmaker: The Vietnamese carmaker VinFast will present its VF8, an electric SUV that is expected to compete with the Tesla Model Y, Kia EV6 and Ford Mustang Mach-E.
§ Small urban vehicles: Aixam, City Transformer, E-Go Mobile, Eon Motors, Microlino, Mobilize, Silence and XEV.
§ Other exhibitors: The American carmaker Fisker will be present with its Ocean.
₋ In conclusion, the Paris Motor Show 2022 does not at all reflect the current state of the European market as a whole. It will mainly be a Franco-Chinese show for passenger cars and a show for small urban vehicles.

Paris Motorshow 2022: Small urban vehicles
- The category of small urban vehicles, or category of L6/L7 vehicles in European legislation, will be strongly represented at the next Paris Motor Show. Indeed, 8 brands of small urban vehicles will be present this year: Aixam, City Transformer, E-Go Mobile, Eon Motors, Microlino, Mobilize, Silence and XEV. In 2018, during the previous Mondial Auto, only Aixam was present. The presence of these brands will also be remarkable given the absence of many passenger cars brands. Note however that Ligier and Microcar, specialists in the L6/L7 category, will not be present at the event.
- Among the 8 producers of small urban vehicles, we can note:
• Three French brands: Aixam, Eon Motors and Mobilize.
• A German brand: E-Go Mobile.
• A Spanish brand: Silence.
• A Swiss brand: Microlino.
• A Chinese brand: XEV.
• An Israeli brand: City transformer.
- All the brands present already offer vehicles in production or projects with electric motors and batteries. Only Aixam also offers a range of thermal vehicles.
- Among these producers, some are characterized by interesting technological solutions. Thus XEV with its Yoyo offers a battery swapping service (like Nio). Silence with its S04 offers a battery that be removed from the vehicle and transported thanks to its wheel system. The Startup City transformer offers a vehicle whose chassis expands or retracts depending on the speed. Finally, Mobilize (Renault-Nissan group) offers its vehicle for rental or car sharing.
