In September, Opel celebrated three world premieres at the fast-growing IAA Mobility 2025 show in Munich. The striking Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo concept and the new Opel Mokka GSE 281hp, Opel’s most powerful all-electric road car to date, took pride of place alongside the new Opel Grandland Electric AWD, the German brand’s first all-electric model with all-wheel drive. Now, just months later, the German brand has announced its exciting return to the Mondial de l’Auto show in the French capital after a ten-year hiatus.
The German brand will present its current state-of-the-art models and exciting innovations in Paris this October. Armed with its extensive portfolio, Opel will take full advantage of the renowned international motor show, one of the oldest and most important events in the industry, showcasing key future trends in mobility.
Opel's presentation at the Mondial de l'Auto will focus on newly launched models such as the new Opel Astra, which made its debut at the Brussels Motor Show just a few weeks ago. Powerful all-electric cars such as the new Opel Mokka GSE and the recently announced new Opel Corsa GSE will demonstrate what electrifying high performance means at Opel. Visitors will also be able to see additional novelties and innovative visions with the Blitz, yet to be announced.
“We are looking forward to celebrating Opel’s return to the Paris Motor Show with the public in October,” said Opel CEO Florian Huettl, announcing: “There, visitors will be able to experience our latest models in a very unique setting. I can already promise that our appearance in Paris will be exciting, diversified and exceptional. Stay tuned!”
The 91st edition of the Paris Motor Show will take place from Monday, October 12, to Sunday, October 18, 2026. More than half a million guests visited the show at the previous event in 2024.
