The Paris motor show is back in a bigger form, with automakers showing renewed confidence in the event, according to Quattroruote. The Italian outlet reported that manufacturers have "returned to believing in us," framing the show's revival as a sign that car companies are again treating it as a major stage.
Coverage of the 2026 edition points to a broad brand presence. Media Stellantis highlighted Citroën's stand, describing the atmosphere there in positive terms. DS Automobiles used the event to present a concept car intended to preview the brand's future design direction, according to ANSA. Motorionline and Affaritaliani both reported the debut of the DS N°7 at the Paris show, with DS combining that launch with the new design study.
The reports, published Tuesday, indicate that the show's return has drawn attention from several outlets within the Stellantis orbit, particularly around the Citroën and DS displays. Quattroruote's headline focused on the wider significance of the event, suggesting that automakers' willingness to invest in a major salon reflects a shift in how they view in-person showcases.
Further details on attendance figures, additional brand lineups and the full scope of the Paris show's program were not included in the available reporting. More information is expected as coverage of the event continues.
