Mondial de l'Automobile 2014: Paris Motor Show offers more than 100 world premieres

The showrooms of most car manufacturers are bursting with new products this year as well, and the new models are spread over the entire model range. If anything, this year there are fewer innovations in supercars and exotics, and also electric cars have already somehow established themselves in the minds of people and buyers and have become almost self-evident.

Espace saves the "honor" of the locals

If we look at the countries, this year is surprising a few novelties from domestic exhibitors, who in previous years literally "spared" the biggest pieces of iron for the biggest autumn automotive event, so they could throw them into the fire, and this year, with the exception of the new generation Renault Espace, no brand has prepared major market innovations. At Renault, in addition to the aforementioned, only a study hybrid was presented - eolaba and some special clio versions.

The Frankish "honor" is saved by a completely new espace, which will now be a crossover, but will still have plenty of roominess and flexibility.

At Peugeot and he saw the beam of salon lights refreshed for the first time 508, some sports and eco versions of the 208 and 308 models, as well as the study quartz. At Citroën surprisingly, they only bet on a special version of the C4 cactus and C1 models, alongside which they placed a study four-door coupe DS divine.

Honda brought a completely new jazz to the salon. Despite the fact that it has a prototype in its name, the presented model is already very close to the serial model.

Surprised by the Japanese and Koreans

This year, the Japanese and Koreans, who brought a surprising number of innovations to Paris, stand out much more than the locals. Honda presented the HR-V and the new Jazz models to Europeans for the first time (inexplicably, they state that they are still study models in both cases), Hyundai presented completely of the new i20, sister Kia well Sorrento third generation. At Mazda the beam of European salon lights was first seen by the best seller roadster of all time - MX-5, at Nissan however, they do not reveal ambitions in the C-segment, where a completely new one will enter towards the end of the year pulsar. Suzuki however, he presented a smaller suv with a well-known name Vitara.

Hyundai has completely redeveloped its representative of the B-segment, which is bigger, better, drives as well as more grown up.

Thus, the aforementioned almost overshadowed the rest of the European countries and producers, where the honor of the old continent (otherwise more than decently) is completely defended new generation VW Passat, new representatives of the B-segment: shame fabia and opel corsa, which he also joins five-door mini, Ford and he introduced the second generation S-max.

The eight-generation Passat is certainly one of the most sought-after models at the showroom, also because of the plug-in hybrid version of the GTE.

Oh, and the almost dead SMarch presents a new generation of its models for two and for four. Mercedes but for the first time he showed the smaller brother of the SLS AMG, which lives up to the name AMG GT. BMW however, after the flood of innovations in the past year, he has clearly exhausted himself, because in Paris they only represent above without series2 version. There is a similar lull this year in Audi, where they presented only TT in roadster version and a four-door coupe based study TT, named sportback.

The main attraction at Jaguar's showroom is definitely the XE model, which marks their return to the D-segment, where they were and burned out years ago with the X-type.

The English and Swedes did not rest either

The English, however, added their own in the form of a new one land rover discovery sport and jaguar's of the return to the D-segment in the form of the XE model. But we should not forget the Italians and the Swedes, who are betting everything on something new for the first time this year Fiat 500X, which will hit the roads at the beginning of next year, Volvo and after more than a decade to a new generation of the model XC90, which will come to us at the beginning of next year.

The new Audi Q5: The complete evolution of a proven concept

The 500x, like the espace, saves the Italian honor, and will be available next year in two body styles: urban and off-road. As the first in the segment, it will also have the option of a nine-speed automatic transmission.

For exotics, all eyes are on Lamborghini

It certainly stands out among exotics hybrid lamborghini asterion, even though it is only a study, at Ferrari however, they only presented the above without the fastest version 458 Italy, who hears the name special aperta. Porsche but this year it represents (only) restyled Cayenne, which is to him added also connected hybrid version.

After more than 10 years of market success, the XC90 just made room for a successor, which from many points of view (mainly technical and safety) represents the benchmark for the rest of the competition among large SUVs.

The salon (which is biennial) opens its doors to visitors on Saturday 4 October, and two years ago it attracted 1,231,416 visitors. The ticket for an adult is 14 euros, if you take the youngest to the salon, you will have to pay 22- (adult + 1 child) or 30 euros (adult + 2 children).

In the super sports segment this year, Lambo's first hybrid model is certainly receiving the most attention, where the 5.2-liter V10 together with three electric motors develops as much as 910 hp.
