The car with a unique fastback design that blends the codes of SUV, Sedan and Coupe. Peugeot will offer it in a plug-in hybrid version, but not a 100% electric version just yet.

BYD launches its offensive with 3 electric models
The Paris Motor Show will also be the scene of BYD’s aggressive launch on the European market. The Chinese manufacturer already in Norway is preparing to conquer other European countries. To accomplish this feat, BYD is relying on three electric vehicles (two SUVs and a sedan), which it will showcase in Paris. The BYD Han is a sleek and sporty sedan with dual electric motors and all-wheel drive. Its battery with a capacity of 85.4 kWh gives it a fairly comfortable range of 521 km. Already marketed in Norway, the BYD Tang is a large 7-seater SUV. It combines high performance with comfort, space and safety. More compact but remarkably spacious, the BYD Atto 3 combines aesthetics and intelligence. According to BYD, this provides a versatile and attractive option for many European consumers.
Microlino for soft mobility in urban areas
Another vehicle should attract the attention of visitors to the Mondial de l’Auto, and especially the youngest. Swiss company Micro Mobility Systems will introduce the Microlino, a truly small city car that can be driven from the age of 16. This retro-looking quadricycle is inspired by the legendary Isetta of the 1950s. Like the original Isetta, the Microlino has a front door that facilitates access to its smaller cabin. It is powered by a 16 HP electric motor making 100 Nm of torque. The engine, powered by a battery with a capacity of 14.4 kWh, provides a range of 200 km. Sufficient autonomy was achieved due to the weight of the vehicle contained in only 450 kg. Its practicality and its safer side than a two-wheeler should allow the Microlino to attract a younger audience. This is even more so because it will allow him to broadcast in a more ecological way.
