Paris Motor Show: Here's what's in the spotlight this year
Although more condensed and without the presence of many manufacturers, the Paris Motor Show remains a leading showcase of the best coming out of the automotive industry, currently in the midst of an energy transition
Four years after it was last held, the Paris motor show (known as the Mondial de l'Auto) is back and open to the public from October 18 to 23, 2022. Although more condensed and without the presence of many manufacturers, it remains a leading showcase of the best coming out of the automotive industry, currently in the midst of an energy transition.
Exhibits at the Mondial de l'Auto 2022 are now concentrated across just three halls, where the public will be able to admire the best of today's zero-emission, electric or hydrogen-powered cars, as well as discover many spectacular concepts.
Another category with a strong showing is that of Chinese manufacturers. BYD is presenting three new products: two SUVs and a 100% electric sedan. The Great Wall Motor group is using the event as an occasion to present its two brands, Wey and Ora, to French and European consumers. They will soon offer hybrid models under the Wey brand and fully electric ones under Ora, all specially adapted for the European market.

To further familiarize the general public with energies that constitute an alternative to fuel combustion engines, an entire stand, Electric Box, is dedicated to dispelling certain preconceived ideas about electric cars. Visitors will also be able to see and learn about a wide range of charging solutions—those currently in use in France as well as those under development.
And last but not least, it will of course be possible to try out many cars, and even to take a ride in a kart—powered by electricity of course.
