2024 Paris Motor Show: The Main Highlights From The City of Light
The 2024 Paris Motor Show kicked off on Monday and runs until October 20. It obviously doesn’t have the same prestige or significance as it used to (read: before the pandemic), especially for us on the other side of the Atlantic, but we still think you should take a couple of minutes to look at the major debuts and other main highlights from the French event.
Above: the BMW Vision Neue Klasse sedan shares the spotlight with the BMW Vision Neue Klasse X crossover, previewing the next generation of electric vehicles from BMW. Scroll down to see more new models and go to our Facebook page to tell us which ones you’d like to have in Canada.
