This year, from 16 to 25 January, the stars of the Motor Show are light utility vehicles. But that won’t stop all the brands from showing off their latest models. Febiac, which organises the event, is also seeking to attract enthusiasts of leisure vehicles, such as the SUV, 4x4, MPV, estate or convertible.

The various exhibitors will be sure to shine the spotlight on the latest technologies to be found in their vehicles, in terms of both security and ecology. Every make now has its own “eco label”.

In these times of crisis, which are hitting the automotive sector with full force, importers will be doing everything they can to attract potential buyers: extra discounts, keenly priced option packs or exceptional trade-in deals. But be aware, the price of raw materials has increased and consequently catalogue prices before discount have risen also.

The brands that are not exhibiting at the 87th Motor Show include Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Subaru and Jaguar.
