Hyundai confirms participation in the 2026 Paris Motor Show

Hyundai confirms its participation in the 2026 Paris Motor Show. The Korean car manufacturer will thus be among the brands present at the French motor show which will see the Asian brand in the spotlight thanks to a series of innovations both for the car market and for light commercial vehicles.

Hyundai's vision for the Paris Motor Show

"Hyundai's return to the Paris Motor Show represents an important moment for our brand in Europe - explains Xavier Martinet, CEO of Hyundai for Europe - Paris is the ideal stage to showcase the strength and direction of our range and reaffirm our long-term commitment to the region. With previews in some of the most important segments of the market, we demonstrate how Hyundai continues to respond to the needs of European customers with relevant, competitive and future-oriented products".

The new models

The 2026 Paris Motor Show will be an opportunity for Hyundai to show the world preview of some models that will arrive in Europe in 2027. Starting with the premiere of a new B-segment SUV which will also be accompanied by the first European appearance of a new C-segment SUV. These will be two cars that will inaugurate a new phase of the high-wheel model strategy for the brand in the Old Continent.

New Bayon and Tucson?

Hyundai will also show a sportier version of one of its flagship models. Still tight-lipped about the names but it is easy to hypothesize that it could be the new generation of Bayon, the fifth generation of Tucson which will be joined by a sportier version and finally the electric variant of Staria.

Electric air

Yes, because alongside the cars, as previously mentioned, there will also be light commercial vehicles and in particular the first full electric version of the van which will thus allow Hyundai to extend its electrification strategy to new mobility areas, responding to the constantly evolving needs of business customers. The unveil appointment is set for Monday 12 October at 3.05pm, in pavilion 5.2 of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
