The EVs From the Paris Motor Show That You Can Actually Buy Soon

Motor shows are full of concept cars that look exciting under exhibition lights but remain years away from production, if they ever get there at all. At the 2026 Paris Motor Show, several of the more interesting electric-car announcements concerned production models with concrete plans to reach European buyers over the next few months.

Buyers are looking for more affordable EVs right now, and manufacturers are trying to bring electric cars into lower price brackets. I recently looked at the data behind Europe’s move towards cheaper EVs, and the cars coming out of Paris offer a useful preview of how the market could develop through the first half of 2027.

Some are already available to order, while others are still waiting for final prices or confirmed launch dates. Here are the models to watch if you’re planning to buy an electric car in the coming months.

The Production EVs Arriving By Mid-2027

Status as of 14 October 2026. Prices are German list prices unless stated, and estimated figures haven’t been confirmed by the manufacturers.

Four of the seven rows can be ordered today. The Renault Trafic follows within weeks, while the Leapmotor B03 and the Fiat Grizzly EV still need a confirmed price.

Volkswagen Has A Date And A Price While Fiat Has Only A Date

Volkswagen’s ID.Tiguan is the easier one to plan around. It replaces the ID.4 and ID.5 as a single electric SUV and is built in Emden, Germany, on the updated MEB+ platform. Pre-orders opened on 13 October 2026 in Germany and many other European countries, with prices from €42,695 and deliveries due in early 2027, according to electrive.

There are three versions: a 58 kWh rear-wheel drive car, a 77 kWh rear-wheel drive car and a 77 kWh all-wheel drive car. Volkswagen quotes up to 600 km of WLTP range, but that’s a projection until final certification, and the company hasn’t split it by version or said which version the €42,695 price covers. Physical buttons return for key climate and steering wheel functions, which addresses a common criticism of the earlier ID. models. I covered what the change means for the range in my piece on how the ID.Tiguan replaces the ID.4 and ID.5, and until Volkswagen publishes range per version I’d treat 600 km as a best case.

Fiat’s Grizzly comes in two body styles, a boxier SUV and a Fastback, both between 4.4 and 4.5 metres long. They sit on the Smart Car platform from Stellantis, which also underpins the Fiat Grande Panda. Orders open on 5 January 2027 according to Italian outlet Motorbox, and Fiat hasn’t published a firm delivery date.

Fiat has talked about a starting price of around €20,000 for the range, which applies to the cheapest non-electric version. The price of the electric Grizzly hasn’t been announced, and the expectation is somewhere between €25,000 and €27,000. If it lands there, it’ll cost within about €2,000 of the Leapmotor B03X, which you can order today. The Grizzly is bigger, at 4.4 to 4.5 metres against 4,270 mm for the B03X, so that comparison could go in Fiat’s favour.

Smart And Leapmotor Go Small With Very Different Levels Of Detail

Smart is the only brand in this section with final prices. The #2, from the Mercedes-Benz and Geely joint venture, is a two-seat city car just 2,746 mm long that revives the Fortwo formula. It has a 35.8 kWh LFP battery, a 60 kW (82 PS) rear motor and a target of up to 290 km of WLTP range. DC charging peaks at 65 kW, which Smart says takes the battery from 10 to 80% in about 20 minutes.

German prices start at €19,990 for the Pure and rise to €20,990 for the Pure+, €24,490 for the Premium and €25,690 for the Couture Edition, which is limited to 999 cars in Europe. Smart says the entry price also applies in France and Italy. Early orders opened on 13 October 2026 through Smart’s retail partners, and online ordering follows in the first half of 2027. The specifications are still pending EU homologation, according to Electrek. The base Pure makes do with a 7.4 kW AC charger, so the Pure+ with 11 kW is where I’d start.

The challenge for the #2 is the Renault Twingo E-Tech, which is listed under €20,000 in most european markets. It has four seats, five doors, a 27.5 kWh battery, up to 262 km of WLTP range and 50 kW DC charging. The Smart wins on range and charging speed, and if parking is your biggest daily problem, its 2,746 mm length is a real argument. If it isn’t, I’d buy the Twingo.

Leapmotor is a Chinese EV maker part-owned by Stellantis, and its cars are sold in Europe through a joint venture between the two. The B03X compact crossover has been on sale since July 2026 from €24,900, as I explained in the B03X price and specs breakdown. You can choose a 39.8 kWh battery with 130 kW (177 PS) and up to 292 km of WLTP range, or a 53.0 kWh battery with 145 kW (197 PS) and up to 382 km.

The B03 is a different car. It’s a 4,175 mm hatchback that made its European debut in Paris with a 53 kWh battery, up to 389 km of WLTP range and a 143 kW (194 PS) motor. Carscoops reports a 10 to 80% charge in 21 minutes at up to 133 kW. Leapmotor hasn’t given an order date, a delivery date or a price, and a European launch in early 2027 is the expectation. Carscoops puts the likely price at around €25,000. Until the real number is out, the B03X is the one you can actually buy, and I’d compare the B03 against it once Leapmotor publishes a price.

Renault Prices Its New Electric Van And MOKE Updates Its Beach Car

Renault’s Trafic Van E-Tech Electric is the one fleet managers should look at. It sits on a new electric platform with an 800V architecture, a first for the Renault group, and I went through the platform and 800V details when Renault unveiled it. The van comes with a 60 kWh LFP battery (up to 350 km of WLTP range) or an 81 kWh NMC battery (up to 470 km, 190 kW DC charging). Both range figures are pending final homologation.

French prices, all excluding VAT and for the L1 body, start at €41,500 for the 60 kWh Advance and €43,500 for the Extra. The 81 kWh versions cost €47,000 and €49,000. Orders for the 81 kWh open in the coming weeks, while the 60 kWh version arrives in early 2027. The full French price table, including the diesel comparison, is in my article on the Trafic’s entry price in France. I’d lean towards the 81 kWh for most fleets, and I’d only pick the 60 kWh if the vans return to the depot every night. It’s €5,500 cheaper, and LFP chemistry copes better with a full charge every evening.

At the other end of the market, the Electric MOKE Mk2 is a hand-built open-top beach car made in Warwickshire, England. It has a 23.5 kWh LFP battery, a 33 kW (45 PS) motor, up to 170 km of WLTP range and an 80 km/h top speed. Charging is AC only at 6.6 kW, so 20 to 80% takes about two hours. The recommended price is €35,000 excluding local taxes and incentives, and it’s available in several European markets. That’s a family hatchback budget for a car that tops out at 80 km/h, so I’d treat it as a second car for a coastal town.
