New conventional SUVs and small cars will dominate the Geneva Auto Show, while the industry will try to talk up its embrace of all things electric in case the politicians are watching.

Volkswagen’s Audi, for instance, is showing plug-in hybrid electric vehicle versions of its A6 and A8 sedans, the A7 coupe, and Q5 SUV. BMW will unveil PHEV versions of the 3 Series 330 and various 7-Series sedans, and the X5 SUV. Plug-in hybrids allow the batteries to be charged from a socket, unlike regular Toyota Prius hybrids which only generate electricity while on the move.

In Germany, Europe’s biggest market SUVs accounted for just over 30% of the market in January, and this share is likely to carry on expanding. “In spite of the trend towards car market electrification, only 3 battery electric vehicles – the Peugeot 208e, Kia Soul and Polestar – are presented at Geneva.The mention of Volvo is a reminder of another negative fact about Geneva; the number of no-shows. This includes the Volvo brand, as well as Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, Hyundai, PSA’s Opel, Infiniti, Mini and Tesla.
