Stellantis Opens Biggest-Ever Paris Show Stand With Nine Concepts

· Automotive & EV · France

Stellantis has mounted its largest-ever appearance at an auto show in Paris, bringing nine concepts and 60 vehicles with every one of its European brands represented. The concept blitz is meant to demonstrate that the group's revival in Europe is real. The most consequential reveal is the Citroen 2 CV Concept, which the company says is not nostalgia but a reimagining of affordable urban mobility, previewing a €15,000 minicar to be built in Europe for a 2028 launch. Fiat's Multiplay shows a sliding rear roof and tailgate that converts a six-plus-one family minivan into a four-seat pickup. Alfa Romeo's Cuorerosso previews midsize design, as Stellantis evaluates partners to build electrified successors to the aging Giulia and Stelvio. Peugeot showed the RCZ and E-T16 performance concepts. The stand signals how Stellantis intends to compete for budget and mid-market European buyers.

Why it matters：Legacy automakers are under pressure to prove they can defend the affordable end of the European market against Chinese entrants, and Stellantis is betting its revival story on sub-€20,000 EVs made in Europe.
