Liux, a Spanish electric car startup, is about to show its first production model at the Paris Motor Show. With nearly 7,500 reservations already, the Liux BIG is set to shake up city driving with its focus on efficiency and price.
The Liux BIG has drawn big crowds before even reaching the Paris Motor Show. The Spanish startup Liux says it has nearly 7,500 reservations for its first electric car. That’s a rare show of interest for a Spanish brand in a market usually led by global names. Organizers of Mondial de l’Auto confirm the Liux BIG will make its official debut in Paris from October 12 to 18, 2026. The car will be on display at Hall 7.1, A14.
Liux BIG stands out for two things: it’s made in Spain, and it’s built for efficiency and a low price. The car uses very little energy—just 6.7 kWh per 100 kilometers, according to official specs. That’s about half the average for most electric cars, which often use more power because of heavy batteries and big bodies. Europa Press reports the base model will start at under 18,000 euros, before any government discounts.
The Liux BIG will be produced in Azuqueca de Henares, Spain, with a planned annual capacity of up to 20,000 units from 2028.
Liux keeps things simple. By cutting energy use, the car can run on a smaller battery but still cover the distances city drivers need. The 3.3 kW onboard charger lets owners recharge from 20% to 80% in less than three hours using a regular home outlet. There’s no need for special charging stations or pricey upgrades—just plug it in at home. Spanish news agencies confirm the BIG will offer 15 and 20 kWh battery options. That means a range of 215 or 270 km under the WMTC cycle, and a top power output of 35 kW (47 hp).
Chinese brands have been making headlines for their push into Spain and Europe, as reported earlier. Liux is taking a different route. The company is betting that a city car designed and built locally can find its own place. The plan is clear: offer a practical, lightweight electric car starting at 18,000 euros, well below the rising prices in the sector. The Liux BIG uses a body made from flax fiber. Both the Paris Motor Show organizers and Europa Press point to this as a key part of the brand’s push for sustainability.
Liux wants to start selling the BIG in Spain in 2027, after its Paris debut. The company’s goals are ambitious, but the early reservation numbers show there’s real demand for electric cars that focus on daily use, not just flashy features. For city drivers, the pitch is simple: a car that’s easy to own, cheap to run, and built for real life in town.
After the initial launch in Spain, Liux aims to expand the BIG to other Southern European markets, with France and Italy identified as early targets. The vehicle is currently in the final stages of European certification, with the company maintaining a flexible timeline for the official sales start, focusing on 2027.
Imported models usually set the pace, but Liux shows that Spanish ideas can still break through—especially when they solve real problems for everyday drivers. The Liux BIG isn’t just another electric car. It’s proof that efficiency, simplicity, and a fair price can go together. If Liux delivers, Spain’s electric car market may finally have a homegrown contender built for its own streets.
