Paris Motor Show 2018: all the cars and all the news

The 2018 Paris Motor Show gave car manufacturers from across the globe the chance to lift the curtain on their future plans. We saw a varied range of new production car launches but also a tantalising line-up of concept cars previewing design and technology innovations that will shape the road cars of the future.
In one sense, Paris 2018 was standard international motor show stuff, but it also came in a period of dramatic upheaval for the world of cars. The Paris show halls seemed the perfect place to take the temperature of the automotive industry as a whole. As always, the Auto Express team did exactly that and we saw a group of powerful global brands in rude health. The challenges of electrification, the creep of technology and the drive for improved environmental performance are being addressed with real fervour and optimism – in many innovative ways.
The 2018 Paris Motor Show showcased true innovation and groundbreaking thinking on the design and engineering fronts and left us genuinely excited about the cars coming to market in the short and medium term. We saw a plethora of great new production cars including the new BMW 3 Series, the Kia Proceed, the Mercedes B-Class, Hyundai’s i30 Fastback N, the revised Porsche Macan, the Skoda Kodiaq vRS and the DS 3 Crossback. Plus dramatic concepts in the shape of the Peugeot e-LEGEND, Skoda Vision RS and Smart ForEase amongst others.
