The 5 most important cars from the Geneva Motor Show

A slew of stunning cars have been revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, but there were five that stood out to us.

This year's headline car is the stunning Bugatti Chiron

Mazda RX Vision

Mazda revealed its rotary-engined RX Vision supercar concept yesterday, and left everyone with their jaws firmly on the floor.

The car’s sleek, low design earned it the ‘most pretty concept car’ title in France, but sadly there are no current plans to bring the car into production.

However, as the brand will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of its rotary engine next year, the industry has been left asking, ‘what’s next?’

Toyota CHR

Toyota’s CHR concept was first revealed at the Paris Motor Show in 2014, and the production model revealed at Geneva hasn’t changed much since then.

That’s a good thing.

The CHR’s aggressive lines, bulging wheel arches and pointed lights are enough to convince anyone that Toyota is ready to enter the subcompact crossover game.

  

Volvo V90

Volvo’s V90 is the estate sibling to the recently revealed S90.

The long and slender V90 was poised to impress, but inside the cabin is where Volvo has really shown its magic – with premium materials and one of the best infotainment systems you can find.

Smart, sleek and comfortable, the V90 is sure to present a firm rival to executive favourites Mercedes-Benz E Class and Audi A6 Avant.

Bugatti Chiron

Geneva never disappoints when it comes to offering up some eye candy. This year, that came in the form of headline car, the Bugatti Chiron.

For a mere £1.9million (gulp) the Chiron is powered by a staggering 1,479 horses and can reach a top speed of 261mph.

Listen to it roar…

  

Renault Scenic

Dream cars aside, the Renault Scenic was undoubtedly the most important unveiling at Geneva for us normal folk. Yet make no mistake, there is nothing ordinary about it.

The Scenic has always been a firm favourite with families, but Renault has decided to ditch its traditional appeal in favour of a trendier crossover style. Perhaps spurred on by the success of the Kadjar, Renault has bulked up the Scenic with a higher ride height and more curvaceous shape.

Spacious on the inside, with some interesting extra touches – such as a flip-down table, sliding centre consoles and USB port – Renault hasn’t compromised on practicality.

What were your favourites from this year’s Geneva Motor Show? Let us know in the comments below.
