The Mondial de l'Auto placed Tesla at the center of attention with the Cybercab and the Model Y, while confirming the brand's leading position on the French market. Renault, for its part, must carry out its electric shift under close scrutiny, amid repeated announcements and questions about the margins of its dealer network.
Facing these two heavyweights, Chinese manufacturers are gaining ground: BYD takes up a large share of the show's coverage, while XPeng is emerging as a new player to watch at the Mondial de Paris, in a climate the press describes as gloomy and under pressure. Peugeot and Citroën remain omnipresent in debates on electrification and in model comparisons, while Kia benefits from social leasing and the rise in electric vehicle registrations. Volkswagen is back in rankings for used electric vehicles, and Hyundai as well as MG continue to fuel comparisons of models on display and available in France.
The French electric vehicle landscape is thus being redrawn around a duel between Tesla's dominance and the rise of Chinese brands, while traditional manufacturers try to defend their standing on prices, margins and aid schemes.
