Remember the Peugeot RCZ<\/a>? The 2+2 sports car was the brand\u2019s distinctive, if not quite handsome or beautiful, alternative to the Audi TT<\/a>, VW Scirocco<\/a> and other compact coupes. Now it\u2019s back! The signature Zagato-inspired double-bubble roof is present and correct, and it\u2019s electric, with a hearty 493bhp on tap.\u00a0<\/p>\n Renault The Renault Espace<\/a> could be about to receive the same retro-inspired-rebirth as the R5<\/a>, R4<\/a> and Twingo<\/a>. At least, that\u2019s what the futuristic yet familiar- and friendly-looking E-Space concept revealed in Paris suggests to us. We\u2019re totally down for it as well! If somehow the looks weren\u2019t enough to interest you, the cutting-edge technology inside this MPV will feature on future Renault models.\u00a0<\/p>\n Renault has also added a new panoramic glass roof to the already super-stylish and super-fun Twingo city car. The rounded, almost egg-shaped \u2018Twingobay\u2019 panel is unusual but enhances rather than detracts from the Twingo\u2019s nineties-inspired styling, we reckon. It\u2019ll be available from 2027.<\/p>\n The new Renault 8 Gordini concept is a must-see at Paris. This fabulous two-door reimagines one of the original sports saloons, while celebrating the history of what was the French marque\u2019s go-faster arm before Renaultsport or Alpine. Like the Alpine A310 Vision, there are no plans for a production version, but maybe that will change if enough people express their interest. We certainly hope so!<\/p>\n Skoda Just like the Superb, the Skoda Epiq<\/a>\u2019s name is the polar opposite of modest, so this electric SUV has a lot to live up to. The SportLine trim adds fancier features, including microsuede fabric, heated seats and Matrix LED headlights to this otherwise rather sensible family car. There\u2019s a sprinkling of speed involved, though, as this variant is good for a 0-62mph in 7.1 seconds.<\/p>\n Smart Smart looks set to drum up plenty of excitement because it\u2019s bringing back the ForTwo<\/a> city car, which launched the brand into the public eye with its clever use of space and slick design. The new car will be electric and it won\u2019t be called ForTwo, instead being badged #2 in line with the firm\u2019s current naming strategy. It\u2019ll still be incredibly cute to look at and occupy a tiny footprint, but it\u2019ll go big on character, just like the original.\u00a0<\/p>\n Tesla The Tesla Cybercab is another one of the cars featured at the Paris Motor Show you can\u2019t drive, but not because it\u2019s a concept. The fully autonomous robotaxi has no steering wheel or pedals, you simply get in and it goes. Thanks to new legislation, self-driving cars like this are starting to pop up on UK roads, however we don\u2019t know quite yet when we might see this golden two-seater zipping around Birmingham.<\/p>\n Vauxhall This, believe it or not, is what the next-generation Vauxhall Astra will look like. The brand\u2019s very striking STX concept – which stands for \u2018Sports Tourer eXperimental\u2019 – previews the next evolution of Britain\u2019s long-serving family car. It takes estate car form with a fresh new styling language, plus it\u2019s the first car we\u2019ve seen sporting the redesigned Vauxhall emblem. Exactly when the new Astra will arrive hasn\u2019t been confirmed yet, but thanks to this Paris show-stopper, we\u2019re certainly excited for when the moment finally arrives.<\/p>\n Volkswagen This is the car the ID.4 should have always been! The new Volkswagen ID. Tiguan is the same car underneath, however the SUV\u2019s bland name, blobby design and unremarkable interior have all been binned off, to create something more attractive and more competitive against rivals like the excellent Renault Scenic<\/a> and Skoda Enyaq<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n We might have seen the new super-streamlined Volkswagen Mission Efficiency earlier in the year at a private event, but the clever, ultra-efficient electric car concept is coming to Paris for all to see. And that won\u2019t be to simply build excitement for the brand; we\u2019ve been told there\u2019s a possibility it might be put into production \u2013 depending on the reaction of the Paris show visitors, of course.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
