Chery was the 21st world carmaker in 2015
- Chinese automaker Chery was the 21st world carmaker in 2015, with a volume of 501,000 vehicles sold in 2015 (+ 10.3%). This volume is much lower than the scores achieved in 2010-2012, when began the decline of the influence of Chery, both at local and global levels. Its sales have gradually decreased from 610 000 units in 2010 down to 454,000 in 2014 (-34,3%), while the Chinese market at the same time increased from 18 million to 23 million units (+27,8%).
- Chery sold its vehicles mainly in China (87% of sales), but in parallel developed some sales abroad, especially in Iran (32,730 sales in 2015), the United Arab Emirates (5716), Egypt (5253) , Russia (4964), Colombia (4794), Argentina (4572), Brazil (3890) and Chile (3456). Chery therefore primarily targets the markets of the Middle East and South America. Since 2014, Chery operates in partnership with Jaguar-Land Rover for which it assembles the Range Evoque at its Wuhu plant (which until then worked only at 50% capacity).
- The current range of Chery consists of twenty three models which represent 60% of sales. Three top models are:
1 / SUV Tiggo 3 (segment C). 2 / sedan Fulwin 2 (C segment) which gradually ousted the E3 sedan. 3 / minivan Karry K50
(C-segment) which is one of the most sold MPV in China.
QQ, which was once one of the best selling models in Chin accounted for only 30,000 sales in 2015.

The new Porsche 2016-2019 product plan
The Porsche brand has unveiled its new 2016-2019 product plan based on an objective to move from a volume of 250,000 vehicles produced in 2016 to 350 000 in 2020:
- End of 2016: the second generation of the Panamera (F-segment) will be launched. It adopts a design closer to that of the coupe and cabriolet 911 than the previous generation of the Panamera.
- In 2017, will be launched the second generation of the Cayenne (SUV). Porsche abandoned the idea of launching a large F-Segment SUV, as it would likely have hampered sales of the Bentley Bentayga in the same Volkswagen Group.
- In 2018, will be launched the new generation of coupe and cabriolet 911 (which dates back to 1965). The same year, the Macan (D-segment SUV) should be restyled (mid-life restyling), taking up certain characteristics of the Cayenne launched a year earlier.
- In 2019, will be likely launched a new E-segment sedan, which will compete in particular with the MaseratiGhibli, and which will take up the style of the Panamera on a reduced scale.
- Finally in 2020, is expected the launch of a compact SUV (C segment) based on the VW Tiguan, which should expand the customer of the brand.
- The latest generation of Boxster and Cayman have been launched early 2016 and will therefore not be replaced before 2021.
