The episode begins with host Nout Broekhoff arriving at the Brussels auto show after a drive in a Porsche on winter tires. He describes the show as a major sales event with record car brands and European premieres. Key announcements include the Kia EV2 electric car priced around €30,000 and renewed models from Stellantis like the Opel Astra. The DS brand is struggling, but leaked photos of the DS 7 SUV hint at its upcoming launch. Tesla reveals a new Model Y variant with 657 km range, costing €7,000 more than the base model for extra range. General Motors faces a $7.6 billion write-down on electric vehicles, largely due to canceled supplier contracts, compared to Ford's nearly $20 billion. The show previews an afternoon broadcast featuring interviews with Citroën CEO Xavier Chardon on the ELO Concept, a potential future electric MPV. Frank van Gogh, CEO of Fébiac, discusses the growing importance of the Brussels show. Mazda design boss Joost Steenuit unveils the CX-6E as a world premiere. The host criticizes the ELO Concept's design, urging Citroën not to produce it. The episode concludes with reminders to listen to the full broadcast and other BNR programs.
