Renault Trezor Paris Motor Show 2016

The Paris Motor Show is an exciting event on motoring aficionados’ calendars, packed with several thrilling offerings on display. The lifeblood of most motor shows, concept cars provide an insight into the foreseeable future and hint at the technology that can be found in upcoming models. What follows is a list of drool-worthy concept cars featured at the 2016 Paris Motor Show.

Featured Concept Cars

1. BMW X2

The newest entrant into the German automaker’s line-up, the BMW X2, is a sportier alternative to the humdrum X1. According to company officials, it is targeted at “active people looking for a combination of enjoyment and practicality.” The X2 flaunts a softer, more elegant silhouette than current occupants in the brand’s SUV line-up, including the X3, X4, X5, and X6.

3. Lexus UX

Designed by a team led by Simon Humphries in Toyota’s studio located in the South of France, the Lexus UX is a sight for sore eyes. Flared wheel arches, muscular haunches, and sizeable alloy wheels lend it an intimidating stance. Although there’s no official word on the powertrain under the sculpted exterior, the tailpipes indicate an internal combustion engine, possibly aided by an electric motor.

Following the Dezir concept unveiled in 2010, the Renault Trezor is a two-seater electric coupe that incorporates elements of autonomous and electric mobility. Measuring 4,700mm long, 2,180mm wide, and 1,080mm tall, the Trezor boasts the dimensions of a GT while tipping the scales at a remarkably low 1,600 kg, thanks to a central carbon fiber cell with tubular steel frames.

5. Volkswagen I.D.

The I.D. is the German brand’s first attempt at an autonomous, zero-emissions vehicle. While its dimensions are akin to a Volkswagen Golf, its 125 Kw motor is expected to deliver a magnificent 400 to 600-kilometer driving range. Expected to hit the market by 2020, the Volkswagen I.D. is a legend in its own right.
