The future Citroën C5 Aircross will be available in a battery electric version

- The Stellantis group has announced that the next generation of the Citroën C5 Aircross SUV (code CR3) will be launched in 2025 and will be based on the STLA Medium platform, which will be also use by the Peugeot 3008 and 5008 (launch in 2023). The new C5 Aircross will be assembled at the Rennes plant, like the current generation, and will be available for the first time in a battery electric version in addition to the mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions.

- As for the plants of Vigo, Zaragoza, Villaverde, Trnava, Poissy, Mirafiori, Valenciennes, Ellesmere Port, Val di Sangro, the Rennes plant will therefore become a factory producing electric vehicles in addition to thermal vehicles. To complete this list, we can also add the Sochaux plant which will assemble the electric versions of the future Peugeot 3008 and 5008 from 2023, the Mulhouse plant which will produce the electric versions of the Peugeot 308 from 2023 and DS7 Crossback from 2025, the Rüsselsheim plant which will produce the electric versions of the Opel Astra and DS4 from 2023. We must add the future Peugeot 4008 (code P54) which will be assembled in Mulhouse from 2022, in an hybrid and electric version.

- The choice of the production site for the future Opel Grandland has not yet been taken. This new generation could be produced either in Eisenach (Germany), including the battery electric version, or in Sochaux (France) alongside the future 3008 and 5008. This strategy confirms that the Stellantis group wants to continue to spread its production of electric vehicles on all the sites where the thermal versions of these vehicles are also produced.

The current and future situation of the Moroccan automotive industry

Morocco has become a major player in the automotive industry in southern Europe since the Renault plant in Tanger came on stream in 2012. Indeed, the country benefits from production costs that are far below those in Western Europe. Morocco's production volume increased from 50,000 vehicles in 2011 to 100,000 in 2012, 260,000 in 2014, 320,000 in 2016, 390,000 in 2018 and 430,000 in 2019. Since that date, which marked the record in Moroccan automotive production, production volume has leveled off at around 380,000 units per year, although Stellantis will start operations in Kenitra in 2019, an equivalent level to Poland. What is Morocco's future in the automotive industry in 2023-2030?

1. Tanger: This plant has just started production of the Mobilize Duo small urban vehicle in November 2022, replacing the Twizy, which was produced in Spain. It is the first 100% electric vehicle to be produced at this site. The carmaker is talking about 17,000 units produced per year. In 2026, it will be joined by the all-electric Sandero, which will achieve a much higher volume. 

2. Kenitra: This plant, which currently produces Peugeot 208 with internal combustion engine and Citroën Ami with electric motor (22,500 units produced since the launch in April 2020), will double its production capacity from 200,000 to 400,000 vehicles per year. Currently, the Kenitra plant produces less than 100,000 vehicles per year, but the carmaker will gradually increase the production volume of the Peugeot 208 with internal combustion engine. This will be at the expense of the Trnava plant in Slovakia, which in return will soon start production of the Citroën C3 Aircross and the new-generation Opel Crossland.

Inovev forecasts 50,000 units per year of the new Citroen C4 X

- Citroen (one of the fourteen brands of the Stellantis group) has unveiled the new C4 X (code C43) which succeeds the C-Elysee. Indeed, while the C4 is a C-segment hatchback, the C4 X is a C-segment sedan like the Citroen C-Elysée. This type of body is particularly popular in Southern (Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece) and Eastern (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania) European countries. It is also appreciated in South American and Chinese markets which could welcome this model next year. As it stands, the Citroen C4 X could compete with the Renault Arkana in the same category.

- In terms of dimensions, the Citroen C4 X is positioned in the carmakers’ range between the C4 (4.36 m) and the C5 X (4.81 m). Also in price, the C4 X will be between the C4 and the C5 X while the C-Elysée was cheaper than the C4. Like many other manufacturers, Citroen is taking advantage of the launch of a new model to substantially increase its prices.

- The C4 X is based on the same CMP platform as the C4, and like the C4, it will be available in a thermal version (1.2 petrol, 1.5 diesel) and in a battery electric version which has a range of 350 kilometers.

- The C4 X will be produced in the Spanish plant of Villaverde, alongside the C4, at the rate of 50,000 units per year according to Inovev. In China, the C4 X could be produced at 25,000 units per year at the Wuhan site. It would thus succeed C-Elysée and Fukang. Citroen on its side, is aiming for a production of 120,000 cars produced per year in Villaverde, including 80,000 C4 and 40,000 C4 X.
