Looking ahead to the 2014 Paris Motor Show (pictures)
Let's take a moment to marvel at the debuts and concepts we expect to see in the City of Light's prestigious auto show this year.
Volvo XC90
As we approach the 2014 Paris Motor Show, we take a moment to look ahead at the debuts and concepts that we expect to see in the City of Light.
First up: Volvo's XC90 will feature the next generation of the automaker's infotainment technology.
Mini Superleggera Vision Touring concept
The Mini Superleggera Vision Touring concept is an effort to make a lighter, performance-oriented Cabriolet.
Mini Cooper five-door
The automaker will also be showcasing the larger, five-door version of its production Cooper hatchback at the show.
Peugeot Quartz concept
The Peugeot Quartz Concept is a futuristic take on the crossover from the French automaker.
Infiniti Q80 Inspiration
The Q80 Inspiration concept will be Infiniti's showcase car at the Paris Motor Show, and a major indicator of the company's direction.
Citroen C4 Cactus Airflow 2L
The Citroen C4 Cactus Airflow 2L concept may not look it, but the automaker claims the streamlined crossover is good for up to 141 mpg.
Lamborghini mystery car
Lamborghini's upcoming debut is shrouded in mystery. No one knows what to expect from the exotic automaker.
Toyota C-HR concept
The C-HR is a hybrid crossover concept by Toyota. After spending time with the Lexus NX crossover, we've got high hopes.
Mazda2
Paris is the first place we'll see the compact Mazda2 in the sheet metal.
Smart ForTwo, ForFour
The diminutive Smart ForTwo improves, but retains its city-friendly footprint. The new ForFour, on the other hand, grows to accommodate two more passengers.
Mercedes-AMG GT
The successor to the mighty SLS AMG is set to make a big splash by the Seine.
Honda HR-V
Smaller than the CR-V, the HR-V borrows a few tricks from the new Honda Fit -- including the versatile Magic Seat.
Citroen DS Divine concept
Citroen is bringing a handsome looking concept, both curvaceous and sharply angled.
Audi TT Roadster
Audi's next-generation TT returns to the car show circuit, this time without its top. Rumor has it that the automaker will also be bringing a new Sportback model.
Kia Sorento
The production version of the next Kia Sorento will feature many of the same improvements brought to the brand by the latest Sedona.
Fiat 500X
Fiat is being coy about showing us its new 500X crossover, but we've had peeks at the notchbacked profile.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Concept-S
It just wouldn't be an international car show without yet another Mitsubishi Outlander concept. As the plug-in hybrid nears production, we wonder if it might be Mitsubishi's last hurrah.
Jaguar XE
Riding high on the critical acclaim given its F-Type Coupe and Roadster, Jaguar prepares to strike again with a new 3-Series competitor.
Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
The Volkswagen Golf Alltrack takes the new Golf Variant (the former Jetta Sportwagen) and raises it up to challenge Subaru's XV Crosstrek.
