Brussels Motor Show 2026, the already announced and the latest news

In terms of new products at the show, the Stellantis group will be the main protagonist with 62 debuts, including world debuts such as the revamped Opel Astra, Peugeot 408 and the Jeep Compass 4xe, and European debuts, those of the Chinese brand Leapmotor, plus concept cars, one of which is the original Citroen Elo, an MPV that anticipates the future of the French brand.

The two models, the new Opel Astra and the revamped Peugeot 408 represent two of the three world premieres of Stellantis. For the German brand's medium-sized car, this is an evolution of both the saloon model and the family variant. The relaunch of the 408 is part of Peugeot's broader programme to strengthen the French brand's styling identity.

The Chinese Stellantis brand is debuting three European novelties at the show: the B03X, an urban electric crossover that will go on sale in Europe between 2026 and 2027. Added to this is the B10 REV the range-extending variant of the compact SUV. Finally, the third novelty is the interior of the B05, which has not been made official so far. An offer that demonstrates the constant dynamism of the Chinese brand.

And they come to the main novelties of the 11 brands exhibited in Brussels by Stellantis. The spotlight is on Jeep, the group's most international brand, which is making its world debut with the Compass 4xe and the Wagoneer S for the European market. Fiat is exhibiting the Tris, the brand's first three-wheel electric vehicle in the micro-mobility sector. To which is added the Qubo L, still shrouded in mystery.

The parent company, Hyundai, has announced that the largest electric ever produced will be unveiled at the show. This suggests that it will be the battery-powered version of the recently offered Staria MPV, with a slight restyling. What is certain, however, is the presence of Kia's small electric car, the EV2, a model designed specifically for the European market. To which will be added the GT variant of the EV5.

In addition to the aforementioned Citroen Elo, Citroen's laboratory of futuristic ideas that rethinks modular and sustainable interior space, Opel is exhibiting the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo in Brussels: a high-performance concept also designed for the digital world. Finally, Alfa Romeo announced an exclusive preview at the show: it would be a version celebrating the brand's 116th anniversary.

In Brussels, the Chinese brand Xpeng could showcase the G9, the flagship electric suv credited with the European recharging speed record: from 10 to 80 per cent in 12 minutes and 43 seconds, as well as peak power of 453 kW, giving it a range of 585 km. It could be joined by the final version of the P7+ saloon, which will also be available in Europe during 2026.

It cannot be ruled out that Porsche will exhibit both the new electric Cayenne and the GTS version of the Macan in Brussels. Other expected presences would be the BMW iX3, the Honda Prelude and the Mercedes GLB. To which could be added a few new entries from the more than 20 two-wheeler brands announced for this year's Brussels edition, but which have been missing from the Berlin show since as far back as 2020.
