SA is not currently on the list of priority markets, Polestar chief operating officer Jonathan Goodman told us at the show - but it could be in the future, so we’re keeping an eye on this one.

By Mark Smyth

There was even a big surprise, something that's very rare at motor shows these days. Fiat didn’t say that its concept Centoventi is a preview of the next-generation Panda, but the illuminated stripes at the top of what would normally be the grille area are clearly a modern interpretation of the original, which hit the market back in 1980. Unlike the original, the Centoventi is battery-electric, with Fiat claiming a range of up to 500km.

Peugeot finally ditched the bland looks of the previous 208 in favour of something that looks exciting.Speaking of concepts, there are loads of them, covering every segment of the market. Nissan’s electric IMQ shows a new generation of crossover but is widely expected to be the future replacement for the Qashqai, although of course you can expect the styling to be toned down a bit.

Hispano-Suiza shows its electric vehicle, sitting on the same platform as the Rimac C-Two, which by the way we can confirm will now only be coming to SA in 2020. Then there are the traditional models - you know, the ones with engines in them. Aston has its RB-003, Valkyrie and Vanquish concept as headline-grabbers, but there are others too. Bentley presents its Continental GT 9 by Mulliner as part of the brand’s centenary celebrations, as well as the fastest SUV in the world, the Bentayga Speed. MARK SMYTH
