Volkswagen is on the eve of one of the most intensive product years in its recent history. As 2025 gradually heads towards the finish line, Wolfsburg is already looking ahead with intent. 2026 will be the year Volkswagen makes its vision for the future concrete, with a broad range of new models, in-depth updates and a clear focus on electrification, without losing sight of the reality of different markets.

Maserati is quietly, but with clear symbolism, drawing a line under a chapter that never quite worked. From model year 2026, the four-cylinder disappears from the Maserati Grecale range. No more 2.0-litre mild hybrid, no more entry-level engine that mainly made sense on paper. In its place comes something that fits the DNA of the Modena-based brand far better: a V6, derived from the iconic Nettuno engine.

Dacia comes to the Brussels Motor Show 2026 with a message that remains surprisingly clear in a market full of complex choices: offering robust, attractive and well-equipped cars with the best value for money. Only the brand has clearly shifted up a gear in 2025. Not by abandoning its DNA, but by maturing the range: sharper design, more connectivity, more efficient powertrains and an electrification approach that actually fits real life.

Renault isn't turning the Brussels Motor Show 2026 (10–18 January) into a classic “model-update show”, but into a clear statement: the brand wants to deliver accessible technology, more energy efficiency and driving fun all at once, in a range that's becoming ever more electrified.

At the centre of the stand, two Belgian premieres literally stand in the spotlight, in a glass box: the New Renault Clio and the New Renault Twingo E-Tech electric.

smart is taking the next big step in its electric future. The all-new smart #2 has officially begun its intensive testing phase, doing so on a completely newly developed Electric Compact Architecture (ECA) platform. With that, the brand opens a new chapter for the iconic two-seater that redrew city traffic almost thirty years ago.

The world premiere is scheduled for 2026, but behind the scenes, development is already running at full speed.

Tijdens de Brussels Motor Show 2026 zet Kia een belangrijke volgende stap in zijn elektrische offensief. Op 9 januari 2026 beleeft de gloednieuwe Kia EV2 zijn wereldpremière in Paleis 5 van Brussels Expo. Met deze volledig elektrische B-segment SUV, speciaal ontwikkeld voor Europa, versterkt Kia zijn positie als één van de meest vooruitstrevende EV-merken van het moment.

De EV2 wordt het nieuwe instapmodel binnen Kia’s inmiddels volledig bekroonde 100% elektrische line-up. Compact van formaat, maar groots in ambities: de EV2 wil elektrische mobiliteit écht bereikbaar maken, zonder in te boeten aan design, technologie of gebruiksgemak.

Brussels Motor Show 2026 belooft een van de meest indrukwekkende edities van de voorbije jaren te worden en Mercedes-Benz neemt resoluut het voortouw. Van gloednieuwe elektrische modellen tot radicale performance-concepten en een iconische terugblik op 140 jaar autogeschiedenis: de stand in de Patio vormt dit jaar het absolute middelpunt voor fans van technologie, design en performance.

The BMW 3 Series isn't just a model, it's been the beating heart of BMW for 50 years. A car that has set the benchmark for generations in sporty driving, technological progress and industrial efficiency. Now BMW announces that more than 18 million units have been built since production began in 1975. And not in one factory, but across 18 production facilities spread over 13 countries.

On 11 December 2025, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the man who shaped the 911 and defined Porsche's modern design philosophy, would have turned 90. To honour his legacy, Porsche presents a unique birthday gift: the 911 GT3 90 F. A. Porsche, a lovingly assembled tribute that seamlessly brings together the past, family, craftsmanship and pure driving dynamics.

Only 90 examples will be built. One goes to his son, Mark Porsche. The remaining 89 will find the most dedicated collectors worldwide.
