Suzuki sold 3.43 million vehicles worldwide in 2018

- Suzuki sold 3.43 million vehicles (passenger cars + light commercial vehicles) in 2018, an increase of +4.1% compared to 2017. The fourth largest Japanese manufacturer remains in tenth place worldwide, behind Fiat-Chrysler and PSA, but ahead of BMW and Daimler. These figures do not include the production of two-wheelers, where Suzuki remains a major player.

- Suzuki's worldwide sales in 2018 can be broken down as follows:

1. India is its largest market, with 1.75 million vehicles, or 51% of its worldwide sales.

2. Japan is its second largest market, with 715,000 vehicles, or 21% of its worldwide sales.

3. Europe is its third largest market, with 235,000 vehicles, or 7% of its worldwide sales.

- Suzuki is virtually absent from the US and Chinese markets, as Suzuki is concentrated in the A and B segments.

- The three markets mentioned above add up to 79% of Suzuki's worldwide sales in 2018, which are divided into 1.75 million vehicles under the Maruti brand and 1.68 million vehicles under the Suzuki brand. It should be noted that the Indian Maruti came under Suzuki's control in 2002. Maruti still  accounts for more than half of Suzuki's sales today.

- Suzuki's best-selling models in 2018 are the Swift (357,000 units), Alto (343,000 units), Wagon R (295,000 units) and Baleno (237,000 units).

1. The United States is by far its largest market, with 680,000 vehicles, or 67% of its worldwide sales.

2. Japan is its second largest market, with 150,000 vehicles, or 15% of its worldwide sales.

3. Europe is its third largest market, with 33,000 vehicles, or 3% of its worldwide sales.

- These three markets accounted for 85% of Subaru's worldwide sales in 2018.

Nissan will not manufacture the future X-Trail in Sunderland

- Nissan has announced that it will not manufacture the future SUV X-Trail (scheduled for 2020) at its UK site in Sunderland, due to uncertainties related to Brexit.

- Last year, the Japanese automaker announced that it would manufacture its future X-Trail in Sunderland, alongside the Qashqai, but negotiations between the European Union and Great Britain on Brexit  have not lead to a clear agreement so far, so Nissan decided to postpone or even abandon this project permanently.

- In 2018, the X-Trail sold 45,000 units in Europe (29 countries). The manufacturer was expecting a production volume of 50,000  per year at the Sunderland site, in addition to the 250,000 units of the Qashqai, which will also be  replaced in 2020 (215,000 units were sold in Europe last year).

- The Sunderland site is also expected to abandon production of the Infiniti Q30/QX30, whose sales have not met the manufacturer's objectives. These models’, whose origins date back to 2015, sales in Europe fell to less than 3,800 units in 2018, compared to 8,700 units in 2017 and 8,200 units in 2016. This low sales volume no longer justifies the continued manufacture of this model, even taking into consideration the 8,100 units exported in 2018 ( compared to 14,100 units in 2017 and 12,300 units in 2016).  Indeed Nissan is questioning  the future of the Infiniti brand in Europe.
