Many brands organize open days (JPO) at the beginning of January.

Laurent Lacoste

Open days in the automotive industry are somewhat equivalent to sales in the textile industry: a period that allows you to do good business. However, the duration is shorter. Although some, like Peugeot, extend it by a week, everything is usually concentrated in the same weekend of January 14 and 15. For the occasion, showrooms do not hesitate to open exceptionally on Sundays. Some will allow you to approach or test models who are just starting out in their careers. If you didn’t make it to the 2022 Paris World Cup, this can serve as a catch-up session. The argument shows the new products that await you, as well as the main discounts that are given at the national level. We’ve intentionally excluded promotions that are too local as well as most rental offers with an option to buy (LOA) or long term rental (LLD). For the latter, actual savings are often difficult to determine.

Alfa Romeo

The plug-in hybrid version of the Tonale compact SUV marks the beginning of Alfa Romeo’s electrification. Some concessions of the brand suggest that you can discover it this weekend, in addition to variants with light hybridization. A promotional offer is proposed that, but only in the form of long-term rental from €695/month.

Audi

Audi is organizing days called MyAudi until January 19. But as with premium competitors, the focus is on LOA/LLD. A month’s rent is offered in plug-in hybrid versions of the A3 Sportback.

BMW

BMW did not mention any specific national offer for this occasion. But some concessions can give you a good discount, by offering the additional value of the rechargeable hybrid in Series 3 or Series 5. This is particularly the case in Lille, for both models, or in Strasbourg , for a single family .

The chevron brand takes advantage of these open days to launch the C4 X and its electric version ë-C4 X. Half sedan, half crossover, this novelty is an extended variant of the compact with a trunk. Some offers are also offered on older models, although most are in the form of LOA or LLD. You can also add some recovery assistance on some models:

€1,000 in ë-Berlingo

Dacia

In accordance with its practices, Dacia does not offer discounts. Only LOA/LLD offers that include 4 years of maintenance are on the menu. On the other hand, from January 12 to 16, you can try the whole “new range” of the brand. The arrival of the new logo is actually accompanied by some minor changes in all models, such as the 110 hp petrol engine for the Sandero Stepway.

DS

DS prefers LOA/LLD offers over conventional promotions. But this open house weekend is also an opportunity for the brand to celebrate the return of the DS 3 assignment, accompanied by the initials of the French “premium” label. However, forget the city car of the same name: it is simply a small DS 3 Crossback SUV that simplified its surname during its restyling, following the example of its older brother DS 7. This small facelift can be seen from 13 to 15 January.
