Spotlights of the automotive world turned on in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower for the Paris Auto Show which opened its doors to the public on Tuesday 18 October after the first day dedicated to the press of the automotive sector. In the pavilions of the Parc des Expositions of Porte de Versailles few brands present compared to the glories of the past but despite the many defections, the brands that responded to the call from the Mondial de l’Auto nevertheless showed some important news and interesting previews. We have collected them in our special top 5 of the French festival.
Starting with the Stellantis group which chose to participate in the Paris Motor Show with only three brands, Jeep, Peugeot and DS. The American car manufacturer has fallen back among our choices with the official debut of Avenger, the first fully electric model that will arrive on the road in 2023. A modern and technological car, the first to be born in the Tychy plant in Poland on shared platforms that they will also host a future Fiat and an Alfa Romeo B-SUV. The new Jeep Avenger features a next-generation 400 V architecture with a powertrain based on a 115 kW electric motor, 156 hp, and 260 Nm of maximum torque. The new 54 kWh battery offers 400 km of range in the WLTP cycle, which becomes 550 km in the urban cycle. As for charging methods and times, with a fast 100 kW direct current infrastructure, three minutes of charging are enough to provide a travel distance of 30 km. In addition, 24 minutes are enough to charge the batteries from 20 to 80%.
On the stand of the Renault group, next to the new 4Ever Trophy concept that anticipates the arrival of the R4-style electric crossover it also finds its place Alpine Alpenglow. This is not a concept car like all the others for the French brand, on the one hand because it represents the starting point for all future projects, technologies and innovations of the Alpine models, and on the other because it proves to be a potential means to safeguard the future. of the combustion engine. In fact, we are talking about a single-seater powered by hydrogen, deliberately inspired by the brand’s participation in the Formula 1 and Endurance world championships, and draws its attention as much for its unconventional lines as for the propulsion system it adopts. The stylistic ideas that will probably be inherited by the future sports cars of the Alpine brand are different, and range from drawing of the LEDs in the optical groupsin particular the prismatic elements at the front with four headlights, the sharp V-shaped front end, passing through a low roofline and a rear wing of significant size.
Autonomy up to 1,000 kilometers and recharging can be completed in just three minutes. Stunning numbers those announced for the new Machina, the first model of the French start-up Hopium which relies heavily on hydrogen technology. Hopium did not want to disclose the details relating to the engine configuration, and limited itself to letting it be known that the overall system power will be of 493 CV. To maximize autonomy, the French start-up has decided to equip the new Machina with custom-made Bridgestone tires, specially developed to minimize rolling resistance. In concrete terms, the specifications of the new Machina materialize in a shot from 0 to 100 km / h consumable in less than 5 seconds flat and in a maximum speed of 230 km / h. Inside the passenger compartment, the configuration designed by Hopium seats four: what stands out is the presence of a display dedicated to the infotainment system that covers the entire dashboard and can be operated by tactile controls. Sustainable choice for what concerns the materials, all from Europe to minimize the CO2 emissions generated by their transport to the plant in Normandy, which will open in 2025, will employ around 1,500 employees and will have the goal of producing around 20,000 cars per year.
This is the creation of Vilebrequin, the YouTube channel of Sylvain Lévy and Pierre Chabrier, who have taken the Fiat family car and transformed it into a real racing sports car, complete with an extreme racing-style wing. You can see it in the shots published on social media this special Fiat Multipla for competition, with a lowered suspension that makes it touch the asphalt, a completely modified bodywork with a new bumper, increased track widths and light sports rims. The bonnet has been equipped with special air intakes to facilitate the cooling of the engine. The rear is also completely different, with cantilevered mudguards and a generous racing-style wing protruding from the roof. In the specimen initially released on social networks there was also a Michelin livery that made the normally docile Multipla even more aggressive while at the Mondial de l’Auto this customization was shown with a body finished in white and red. To build its powerplant, Sylvain Lévy and Pierre Chabrier used an engine derived from a Corvette C7 ZR06, a project costing 1.1 million euros. Inside the cockpit there are sabelt and roll-cage seats to make the racing character even more marked.
Even if far from the Parc des Exposition, in what we will call the Fuorisalone, the new Mercedes EQE SUV also made its international debut at the Paris Automotive Week, a high-altitude version of the German sedan which, with 3,030 mm, enjoys a wheelbase shorter than nine centimeters compared to the standard, and boasts external dimensions equal to 4,863 mm in length, 1,940 mm in width and 1,686 mm in height. Depending on the set-ups and configuration, maximum WLTP autonomies are envisaged for vehicles destined for the European market 590 kilometers, with the exception of the AMG variants which tend to enjoy a shorter range. The EQE SUV’s lithium-ion battery is made up of ten modules and is accompanied by an innovative management software developed internally by the company of the Star that allows over-the-air updates to be carried out in order to maintain the EQE’s energy management. SUV updated for the entire life cycle. On board then you can opt
