Inovev predicts the production of 60 000 E-Pace per year
- British manufacturer Jaguar (a subsidiary of the Indian group Tata Motors) has unveiled its new compact SUV, the E-Pace (C segment) which is under the F-Pace (D segment) in Jaguar’s product range. This new SUV takes the D8 platform of the Range Rover Evoque (the smallest model of the Land Rover, brand another subsidiary of Tata Motors). It is equipped with the gasoline and diesel engines of the Evoque, namely the 4-cylinder gasoline 2.0 developing on the Jaguar 240ch and 300ch, and the 4-cylinder diesel 2.0 developing on the Jaguar 150hp, 180hp and 240hp.
- The E-Pace will be manufactured on the same production site as the Evoque (and the Discovery Sport which is also on the D8 platform), namely the Halewood plant in England, rather than Solihull, where the F-Pace which is on the Land Rover D7 platform, is produced along with the other Landrover models on this platform.
- The E-Pace is 4.40m long and competes with the Premium C segment SUVs such as the Audi Q3 (4.39m), BMW X1 (4.44m), Mercedes GLA (4.42m), Jeep Compass (4.40m), Range Rover Evoque (4.37m) and future Volvo XC40.
- Inovev expects production of 60,000 E-Pace per year at the Halewood site. This figure, which may appear low compared to F-Pace, takes into account the fact that C-segment SUVs sell very little in North America, unlike D segment SUVs such as F-Pace (10,000 units in 2016 And 10,000 units in the first half of 2017).

Renault-Nissan became the world’s largest OEM in the 1st half of 2017
- The Renault-Nissan group became the world's largest carmaker in the first half of 2017, ahead of the Volkswagen and Toyota groups, which experienced lower sales growth.
- Indeed, the Renault-Nissan group (Renault, Dacia, Samsung, Nissan, Datsun, Infiniti, Mitsubishi and Lada) reported selling 5.27 million vehicles worldwide in the first half of 2017, up 7% from the first half 2016). The Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini and Bugatti) reported selling 5.16 million vehicles worldwide in the first half of 2017 (up 4.2% from the first half 2016). Toyota Group (Toyota, Lexus, Daihatsu, Hino) said it sold 5.13 million vehicles worldwide in the first half of 2017 (up 2.7% from the first half of 2016).
- The next five groups remain in the same order as last year, but the gaps between them have changed.
- Indeed, GM group (4.17 million vehicles) without its European branch is clearly distanced by the first three. However, it is ahead of Hyundai-Kia (3.74 million) and Ford (3.30 million). PSA group (2.18 million), reinforced by GM's European division, is now right behind FCA group (2.33 million), which it could surpass in 2017 or 2018. Everything will depend on the size of the US market downturn, on which FCA is very active, in 2017 and 2018.

Production volume of the new Honda Accord should be around 450 000 a year
- The Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Nissan Altima have been among the top five passenger car sales in the United States for more than a decade. These three directly competitive D-segment sedans outperform the Chevrolet (Malibu) and Ford (Fusion) in the same segment. In 2016, 390,000 Toyota Camry, 345,000 Honda Accord, and 305,000 Nissan Altima were sold on the US market, compared to 260,000 Ford Fusion and 230,000 Chevrolet Malibu.
- Six months after the introduction of the new generation of the Toyota Camry at the Detroit Auto Show, Honda presents the new generation of the Honda Accord, which will still be produced at the Marysville, Ohio site.
- The new Accord abandons the V6 engine and the coupe version. It is equipped exclusively with 4-cylinder gasoline engines: a 1.5 turbo developing 192ch and a 2.0 turbo developing 252 hp. These two engines will be connected to a six-speed manual transmission as well as a CVT (1.5) and a 10-speed automatic (2.0). A hybrid version will be released later on.
- The design, of the bicorps type, keeps a conventional trunk, in line with the taste of the American clientele. The new Accord has a longer wheelbase (+55 mm), a lowered height (-15 mm), a wider body (+10 mm) and a shorter length (-10 mm). The objective of Honda is to sell 400,000 Accord per year on the US market, as much as Toyota Camry. The volume of production is expected to be around 450,000 units per year.

- Of these 25 models, 14 are Chinese, 4 are American, 3 are German, 2 are Japanese, 1 is French.
