Spanish startup Liux says it has nearly 7,500 reservations for its first electric car, the Liux BIG, ahead of its official debut at the Paris Motor Show. Organized by Mondial de l’Auto, the event runs from October 12 to 18, 2026, and the car will be displayed in Hall 7.1, A14. That level of interest is unusual for a Spanish brand in a market usually led by global names.
The Liux BIG is made in Spain and designed for efficiency at a low price. Information from official specifications, it uses 6.7 kWh per 100 kilometers, about half the average for most electric cars, which often consume more because of their heavy batteries and large bodies. Europa Press reports that the base model will start at under 18,000 euros, before government discounts. Production is planned for Azuqueca de Henares, Spain, with annual capacity of up to 20,000 units from 2028, Europa Press reports.
By cutting energy use, Liux says the car can have a smaller battery and still cover the distances city drivers need. Its 3.3 kW onboard charger lets owners recharge from 20% to 80% in less than three hours using a regular home outlet. Spanish news agencies report that the BIG will offer 15 and 20 kWh battery options, with ranges of 215 or 270 km under the WMTC cycle. Its top power output is 35 kW (47 hp).
Chinese brands have been making headlines with their push into Spain and Europe, as reported earlier. Liux is taking a different route, betting that a city car designed and built locally can find its place. The company plans to offer a practical, lightweight electric car starting at 18,000 euros, well below rising prices in the sector. The Liux BIG has a body made from flax fiber, which the Paris Motor Show organizers and Europa Press identify as basic to the brand’s sustainability push.
Liux wants to start selling the BIG in Spain in 2027, after its Paris debut. After the initial launch, the company aims to expand to other Southern European markets, with France and Italy among its early targets, La Vanguardia reports. The vehicle is in the final stages of European certification. The company is keeping the official sales timeline flexible while focusing on 2027.
Imported models usually set the pace, but Liux is seeking a place in the market with a locally designed car for everyday driving. The BIG’s pitch is efficient, simple motoring at a lower price, with the company aiming to make it easy to own and cheap to run in town.
