Inovev predicts production per year at 100 000 for Renault Koleos
- While in China, Renault has been marketing its segment D SUV, the Koléos, since November 2016 (it sold 27,000 units on the Chinese market since then), the French manufacturer began its marketing six months later in Europe.
- There have been 1,100 units sold on this market since that date.
- In China, the Koleos sells twice as much as the Kadjar but in Europe the Kadjar belongs to the C segment SUVs, where there is more volume than the D segment.
- The Koléos (length: 4.67m) is based on its CMF-C / D platform, also used by the Nissan X-Trail, Nissan Qashqai, Nissan Rogue, Renault Espace, Renault Talisman, Renault Scénic and Renault Mégane.
- Its engines are two in number: a diesel 1.6 /130hp and a diesel 2.0 /175hp.
- Inovev expects 25,000 sales of Koleos in Europe and 75,000 in China. While China is supplied by the Renault-Dongfeng factory in Wuhan, Europe is supplied by the Renault-Samsung plant in Busan (Korea). In Korea, the Koleos has been sold under the name Renault-Samsung QM6 since May 2016 (26,000 sales since that date, an average of 30,000 sales a year, considering sales over the last six months).

Inovev predicts production per year at 70 000 for the new Citroën C3 Aircross
- Citroën unveiled its SUV segment B, the C3 Aircross, which replaces the segment B minivan, the C3 Picasso whose origins go back to 2009.
- This model shares its platform (PF1) and its engines with the brand new Opel Crossland SUV marketed in recent weeks.
- The engines of the new Citroën SUV are the following: a gasoline version of 110hp and 130hp and a 1.6 diesel of 100hp and 120hp. The diesel engine will be replaced as of the fall of 2018 by the new 1.5 of the same hp , which equips the Peugeot 308 facelift.
- With a length of 4.15m, the Citroën C3 Aircross competes with the Renault Captur (4,12m), Peugeot 2008 (4.16m), Nissan Juke (4,14m) and the all-new Hyundai Kona (4.16m).
- The Citroën C3 Aircross will be manufactured in the same factory as the Opel Crossland in Zaragoza, alongside Opel Corsa and Mokka (half of the Mokka sold in Europe is made in Zaragoza and the other half in GM Korea in Korea).
- Inovev expects 70,000 C3 Aircross to be produced each year in Zaragoza, the vast majority of which are sold in Europe. The model will be marketed in China in the fall of 2018.

Inovev predicts sales of 75 000 et 100 000 per year for the new Hyundai Kona

Inovev predicts sales of 75 000 et 100 000 per year for the new Hyundai Kona
- The Korean manufacturer Hyundai has unveiled its segment B SUV, the Kona, which is expected to gradually replace the B-segment MPV, the iX20, whose origins go back to 2010. Indeed, manufacturers are increasingly replacing their B segment compact MPVs by B segment SUVs, in response to the sharply declining demand for compact MPVs and the strongly growing demand for compact SUVs.
- Thus, we saw Renault replace the Modus by the Captur SUV, Opel replace the Meriva by the CrosslandSUV,or Citroën replace the C3 Picasso by the C3 Aircross SUV . Peugeot replaced its 207 estate with the 2008 and Seat replaced its Altea with the Ateca SUV. Hyundai is following the same logic.
- The new Kona, considering its dimensions (length: 4.16m), competes directly with the Renault Captur (4,12m), Peugeot 2008 (4,16m) and Nissan Juke (4,14m). It measures 4cm more than a Hyundai iX 20 and 32cm less than a Hyundai Tucson.
- The engines of the Kona are the following: a 3-cylinder gasoline 1.0 / 120hp, a 4 cylinders gasoline 1.6 / 177hp and a diesel 1.6 of 115hp and 135hp.
- For now, the Kona is made in Korea but may eventually replace the iX20 at the Hyundai site in Nosovice (Czech Republic). Inovev expects a volume of 75,000 to 100,000 sales a year in Europe. In Korea, Hyundai plans to sell 50,000 Kona a year.

Lamborghini plans to double sales with their new SUV
- The Brazilian automotive market (PC+LCV) has increased , after four years of uninterrupted decline. It has been positive since March 2017 and growth has accelerated since then. In 2016 there was already some improvement over 2015, as the market, while continuing to decline, did so less, month over month (+16,8% in May 2017).
- The Italian firm Lamborghini, which has been producing very sporty cars since its creation in 1963, had several owners before being bought in 1998 by German Audi (Volkswagen Group).
- The current range of Lamborghini which includes two different size coupes, the Huracan and the Aventador (3,500 total sales in 2016), will host a third: the Urus model in the spring of 2018. This model will be a SUV that will use the same platform as the Volkswagen Touareg, Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and Bentley Bentayga.
- The Italian firm has resolved to add a SUV to its range because of the strong demand for this type of model, all over the world. Even sports-oriented brands, such as Alfa-Romeo, Maserati or Aston-Martin, are marketing or preparing to market an SUV.
- The Urus will be manufactured in the Lamborghini factory of Sant'Agata Bolognese, where the Huracan and Aventador are manufactured today . The firm expects to sell 1,000 Urus in 2018 and 3,500 in 2019 and the following years, so that this model will help Lamborghini double its sales between 2016 and 2019.
- The Urus should be powered by a V8 turbo petrol, while the Huracan is equipped with a V10 and the Aventador a V12. There will be no diesel on the Urus, but a rechargeable gasoline hybrid version is planned for the fall of 2019.
