Renault, Citroën and Fiat are drawing on decades of motoring history to develop new electric models, from family cars to affordable city runabouts, as European manufacturers face growing competition from Chinese rivals.

Renault’s E-Space concept reimagines its pioneering family car, first launched in 1984, with six seats across three rows, while Citroën is looking to revive the iconic 2CV as an affordable car for ordinary people.

The Paris Motor Show runs until 18 October.
