DS Automobiles, a premium Europe-focused brand spun off from Citroen, revealed the F3VER concept as an 'exploratory concept car opening a new chapter in its design story'. The small hatchback features a two-tone exterior treatment and an electric powertrain promising 'class-leading electric range', though the company has not provided powertrain or battery specifications. Fiat showed the Multiplay with an unusual new body style, while Opel presented the STX concept showing future wagon design. Lancia displayed members of its recently unveiled Gamma mid-size SUV lineup.

The show also saw Chinese brands including BYD and Changan preview their plans for European expansion, reflecting growing competition in the market.
