Paris Motor Show 2026 : Stellantis Unveils Its Latest Models and Reinvents Its Icons

From the return of iconic nameplates to new SUVs and futuristic concept cars, Stellantis is making its presence felt at the 2026 Paris Motor Show. With eight brands represented, nine concept cars and more than 60 vehicles on display, the group is offering a glimpse of its ambitions for the years ahead.

Peugeot and Citroën : Bringing Icons Back to Life

It’s hard to walk past the Peugeot stand without stopping for a closer look. The French brand is reviving the spirit of its much-loved RCZ coupé with the RCZ Vision, an all-electric concept with particularly striking styling. It also introduces a new generation of Peugeot’s i-Cockpit, featuring the Hypersquare steering wheel and steer-by-wire technology.

Another highlight is the E-T16 Concept, a tribute to the legendary Peugeot 205 Turbo 16. With three electric motors producing an impressive 816 hp, it’s a reminder that electrification and driving excitement can still go hand in hand.

Over at Citroën, another automotive legend is making a comeback: the 2CV. Reimagined as a modern, fully electric small car, it stays true to the simplicity and affordability that made the original so popular. With a target price of around €15,000, the concept could introduce an entirely new generation of drivers to the charm of the iconic 2CV.

Alfa Romeo, DS and Lancia : Style Meets Character

Alfa Romeo is using the Paris Motor Show to unveil the Cuorerosso Concept, a striking design study that offers a glimpse into the Italian brand’s sporting future. Beyond its bold lines, the message is clear: driving pleasure remains at the heart of Alfa Romeo. There’s even the possibility of a future hybrid 2.9-litre V6 paired with an all-wheel-drive system.

Meanwhile, DS Automobiles is showcasing the F3VER Concept, exploring a fresh design direction for the French premium brand. It is joined by the new DS N°7, a premium SUV available with hybrid and fully electric powertrains, offering a claimed driving range of up to 740 km.

Lancia continues its comeback with the Gamma, a sleek fastback crossover that combines Italian elegance with the kind of versatility drivers appreciate in everyday life.

Fiat, Opel and Leapmotor : Something for Every Lifestyle

Fiat, the Italian manufacturer is presenting the intriguing Multiplay Concept, inspired by the original Multipla and combining the flexibility of an SUV with the versatility of a pick-up.

Opel is bringing a sportier edge to the show with the new Corsa GSE, marking the return of a small performance hatchback, this time powered entirely by electricity. Alongside it sits the STX Concept, a modern and dynamic take on the traditional estate car.

Finally, Leapmotor is continuing its European expansion with the B03, a compact electric car, and the D19, a large SUV that highlights the growing ambitions of the Chinese manufacturer and Stellantis partner.

Nostalgia Meets the Electric Future

If there’s one thing we take away from the 2026 Paris Motor Show, it’s Stellantis’ determination to bring emotion back into the automotive world. The revival of legendary names such as the 2CV and RCZ shows that car manufacturers haven’t forgotten their heritage, even as the industry moves towards electrification.

Of course, not every concept on display will necessarily make it into production. But between new technologies, practical family cars and electric performance models, we’re seeing a group working to give each of its brands a stronger and more distinctive identity.

And perhaps that’s exactly what the automotive world needs right now : cars that do more than simply get us from A to B, but still make us want to get behind the wheel.
