Lynk & Co unveils model 02 to be produced in Europe from 2019
- Lynk & Co (a brand of the Chinese Geely group) has unveiled its model 02 which will be produced in Europe from 2019. This model is a compact C segment SUV built on the modular CMA platform shared with the Volvo XC40 SUV and the Lynk & Co 01 SUV, as well as the future Volvo V40.
- The Lynk & Co 01 and 02 will be produced at the Volvo plant in Ghent (Belgium) from the autumn of 2019 onwards for sale in Europe and the United States in early 2020. This plant is currently producing the V40, XC40, S60 and V60.
- Geely, who has observed the successive failures of Chinese brands that wanted to establish operations in Europe, such as Brilliance, Landwind, Qoros, Great Wall (production stopped in Bulgaria), MG (production stopped in England), relies on the fact that Lynk & Co are designed in Sweden by Volvo Cars and sold worldwide. According to Geely, partnering with a premium brand such as Volvo should reassure European and American customers who are reluctant to buy Chinese cars. But the success of Lynk & Co in Europe will depend on the positioning of the product and the link that European and American customers really make between Volvo and Lynk & Co. Geely's communication will have to be clear on this point.
- The Chinese manufacturer aims to sell 500 000 Lynk & Co in 2021, 50% in China, 25% in Europe and 25% in the United States, which means 250 000 units in China, 125 000 in Europe and 125 000 in the United States.

The most produced car in South America in 2017
- The most produced vehicle in the Americas in 2017 being the Ford F Series (also the most produced in North America and the United States), which is the most produced vehicle in South America?
- This is the Chevrolet Onix (233,000 units), which is a B segment hatchback (length: 3.93m, width: 1.70m, height: 1.48m) made in Brazil. The Onix took over in 2012 from the Chevrolet Celta which was an old-fashioned restyled Opel Corsa. The tri-corps version of the Onix is called Prisma and remains the fifth most produced car in South America.
- The Onix supplants the VW Golwhich was the most produced car in South America for several years. The Gol(134,000 units produced in 2017) is now far behind, as well as the various Fiat that were once part of the top 5 (the Mobi is only 9th in 2017).
- Hyundai, Toyota and Renault-Dacia have reduced the influence of flagship models in South America. Hyundai places its HB20 (B-segment sedan) in third place of the most produced cars in this region, Renault-Dacia places its Sandero (B-segment sedan) in sixth place, Toyota places its Etios (B segment sedan) in seventh place and his Corolla (C segment sedan) in eighth place. Of the 15 models most produced in South America in 2017, there are 4 Volkswagen, 3 Toyota, 3 Fiat, 2 Chevrolet, 1 Hyundai, 1 Renault-Dacia and 1 Ford.

The most produced car in Asia in 2017
- The car produced most in Asia in 2017 is also the most produced car in Japan in 2017, the Toyota RAV4 which has totaled 558,000 units manufactured (including 430,000 in Japan and 128,000 in China). This SUV is for the first time ahead of the Chinese minivan GM-Wuling Hongguang (545,000 units) which was until now the most produced model in Asia.
- The Hongguang‘s production has declined since 2015, due to the declining influence of minivans on the Chinese market explained by the strong growth of SUVs, but also due to the rise in cadences of Baojun models from GM-Wuling platforms. The Hongguang has thus gone from first to second place in 2017 and this decline can only increase in the future.
- The Toyota RAV4 is the most produced model in Asia, but also the fourth most produced in the world, behind the Ford F Series F (1,073,000 units), Toyota Corolla (974,000) and VW Golf (923,000). The current Toyota RAV4, which dates from 2013, is the fourth generation of the model. The fifth generation will be presented in 2018, with the start of sales planned for the first half of 2019.
- The Toyota RAV4 and GM-WulingHongguangare ahead of the Toyota Hilux and VW Lavida. Of the 15 most-produced models in Asia in 2017, there are 4 Volkswagen, 3 Toyota, 3 Nissan, 1 GM-Wuling, 1 Buick, 1 Baojun, 1 Mazda and 1 Suzuki.

Inovev forecasts 70,000 VW Touareg/year from 2019 to 2021
- Volkswagen did not present the new generation of the Touareg at the Geneva Motor Show (despite the fact that the model was ready), reserving it for the Beijing Motor Show at the end of April 2018. The Touareg , an E segment SUV, competes with the BMW X5, Audi Q7, Mercedes GLE, Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Velar, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota Land Cruiser, Lexus RX, and Infiniti QX70. Premium brands are predominant in this market, hence Volkswagen’s difficulty to compete.
- This third-generation Touareg is based on the MLB platform shared by the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and Bentley Bentayga. The new Touareg is 8cm longer than the old one, 4cm wider, but 100kg lighter thanks to the use of aluminum and high performance steels.
- The engines selected for this model are : a 3.0 turbodiesel developing 228 hp, a 3.0 turbogasoline developing 336 hp and a 4.0 turbodiesel developing 417 hp. A plug-in hybrid version is planned for 2019.
- The new Volkswagen Touareg will be manufactured as previously on the Slovak site of Bratislava, alongside the Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Up, Skoda Citigo, Seat Mii. The production of the previous generation had fallen a lot, from 80,000 units in 2011 to 40,000 in 2017. Inovev forecasts 70,000 units produced annually from 2019 to 2021; from 2022 to 2025 production is expected to decline.

The most produced vehicle in the world in 2017
- As for several decades, the most produced vehicle in the world in 2017 is also the most produced and the most sold in the United States, since it is the big Ford F Series pickup truck (1 073 000 units produced, against 1 012 000 in 2016) which actually includes two models of different sizes: the F Series itself or F150 (700 000 produced, against 695 000 in 2016) and the F-series Super Duty larger or F250 / 350/450 / 550/650/750 (373,000 produced, compared to 317,000 in 2016). The current Ford F Series dates from 2015, this is its thirteenth generation.
- The Ford F Series is the best-selling model in the United States since 1978 and the best-selling model in the world since 1983. It is still manufactured in the Detroit area of Michigan. The Ford F Series has two major competitors: the Dodge Ram pickup (636,000 units produced in 2017, compared to 614,000 in 2016) and the Chevrolet Silverado (635,000 units produced in 2017, compared to 657,000 in 2016). In 2017, these two competitors occupy the 8th and 9th world places respectively. They have just been renewed both in 2018 and should therefore improve their position compared to 2017.
- Behind the Ford F-Series, the world's most produced models are the Toyota Corolla and VW Golf sedans, ahead of the Toyota RAV4 and VW Tiguan SUVs. Of the 15 most-produced models in the world in 2017, there are 4 Toyota, 4 Volkswagen, 2 Honda, 2 Ford, 1 Chevrolet, 1 Dodge and 1 GM-Wuling.
