Alpine's next model will be a compact electric crossover that the Renault Group brand describes as a 'sport fastback.'

After a subdued 2022 event that highlighted several Chinese brands, the 2024 Paris show in October will have stronger European representation.

Europe's top-selling Chinese brand, SAIC's MG Motor, won't be at the Paris auto show and neither will Great Wall. After skipping the 2022 event, BMW, Audi and VW will return to Paris as will Ford and Kia. French participants will include Renault, Citroen and Peugeot.

The presence of VW and BMW at the Paris show after skipping the 2022 event points to concerns from European automakers about increasing competition from Chinese brands.
