The Geneva Motor Show kicks off this week with automa­kers eager to show off new electr­ic models­The Geneva Motor Show kicks off this week with automakers eager to show off new electric models, even as they nervously eye a horizon coloured by trade wars and Brexit uncertainty. At the same time, people are still drawn to gas-guzzling SUVs, which currently account for one in three vehicles sold. At the same time, high-end brands like Aston Martin, Audi and Mercedes will be showing off concept electric SUVs. Despite the constraints, the Geneva show remains a draw for luxury automobile enthusiasts and is unlikely to disappoint in terms of glitz and glamour. More than 660,000 visitors are expected to descend on Geneva’s Palexpo from March 7 through 17 to cast their eyes over some 900 vehicles.
