New Generation Honda CRV discontinues diesel engine
- Honda introduced the new generation of its medium-sized SUV CRV, which replaces the previous one launched in 2012. The new CRV, which remains very similar to its predecessor, will be marketed from 2018. The manufacturer wanted to capitalize on the success of a model sold at nearly 680,000 units in 2016,by keeping its styling for the new model.
- However, two key developments characterize the new generation of CRV:
1 / this model will no longer exist in diesel engine. The old diesel engine will be replaced by a new non-rechargeable hybrid engine. It will be based on a 2.0 petrol engine combined with an electric motor. In addition, the CRV will have a gasoline engine 1.5 turbo developing 190hp.
2 / the new CRV marketed in Europe will no longer be manufactured in England, but in Canada, at the Alliston site in Ontario. It is true that older generations of the CRV had already been manufactured for many years in North America, notably on the Alliston site in Canada (210,000 units in 2016), on the American site of East Liberty (167,000 units in 2016) and on the Mexican site of El Salto Jalisco (60,000 units in 2016).
- The two key developments are related to the fact that North American plants do not generally manufacture diesel-powered SUVs due to the lack of demand for these motors in the NAFTA zone.

Inovev expects sales volume of 80,000 units per year for the new Nissan Leaf
- Nissan unveiled the second generation of the 100% electric Nissan Leaf (the first generation was in 2010) that benefits from improved styling (appearance of a dummy grille in the style of the other models of the brand) and also technical developments that enable it to achieve a range of nearly 400 km on the NEDC cycle. In 2010, the Leaf was almost alone in the market of 100% electric vehicles, but today in many manufacturers have developed their EV range , and moreover several manufacturers are announcing future electric models with ambitious sales objectives.
- The previous Leaf has sold more than 280,000 copies in seven years, including 111,000 in the United States, 80,000 in Japan, 77,000 in Europe and more than 12,000 in the rest of the world.
- The second generation is supposed to do much better, especially because of the new environmental regulations that encourage this type of motorization all over the world.
- Inovev forecasts a sales volume of 80,000 units per year, compared to 40,000 units for the previous generation.
- The Leaf should continue to be manufactured at three different sites supplying their respective markets, in the United States, Europe and Japan. Its platform should be used for future Renault and Mitsubishi electric cars .

Production of the Tesla Model 3 has begun at Fremont
- Electric car maker Tesla has begun production of its third model (logically named Model 3) at its Fremont, California site.
- This D-segment sedan is priced twice as low as the F-segment sedan (Model S), or about $ 35,000 compared to $ 70,000. According to the manufacturer, this competitive price is expected to significantly expand Tesla's customer base, with sales targets of 500,000 units in 2018, 750,000 in 2019 and 1,000,000 in 2020. Tesla has already received more than 400,000 orders for its Model 3.
- For the Model 3 ramp-up, Tesla is planning 30 units in July, 100 units in August, 1500 units in September, 5,000 units in October, 10,000 units in November and 20,000 units in December, or 36,630 units produced in 2017. By 2018, Tesla expects to be able to maintain a production pace of 30,000 units per month, or 350,000 units for the year as a whole. All current orders should therefore be able to be filled by the end of 2018. Afterwards Tesla will build all new orders .
- One must remember that the Fremont plant has a production capacity of 500,000 cars a year. Beyond 500,000 sales per year, Tesla will have to either expand its Fremont site or build a second production site.

Inovev expects annual sales of 110 000 to 120 000 for the T-Roc

Inovev expects annual sales of 110 000 to 120 000 for the T-Roc
- In order to strengthen its presence in the compact SUV category, the Volkswagen brand unveils a SUV smaller than its Tiguan (segment C), TiguanAllspace (D segment) and Touareg (E segment). The new model, called T-Roc, retains the T-letter attributed to all the SUV's and uses the MQB-B platform shared with the Audi A3 (2012), Audi TT (2015), Audi Q2 (2016), Skoda Octavia (2012), Skoda Superb (2015), Skoda Kodiaq (2016), Skoda Karoq (2017), VW Golf (2012), VW Passat (2014), VW Touran (2015), VW Tiguan (2016), VW TiguanAllspace (2017) and VW Arteon (2017).
- The T-Roc, because of its dimensions, its engines and its price, is located between B and C segments. It is based on the Golf but is smaller than the Tiguan (4.49m) and larger as the future T-Cross based on the Polo. It is actually close to an Audi Q2 (4.23m). It will therefore compete with the biggest SUVs in B segment and the smallest SUVs in C segment ...
- The VW T-Roc will be manufactured on the Volkswagen site in Palmela (Portugal) which has a maximum capacity of 175,000 vehicles per year. The T-Roc will take advantage of the stop of the Scirocco coupe to use the site and saturate its capacity . Inovev expects a volume of 110,000 to 120,000 annual sales of the T-Roc, which fits perfectly within the framework of the plant's 175,000 units capacity. The T-Roc is equipped with three gasoline engines (1.0 TSI 115hp, 1.5 TSI 150hp, 2.0 TSI 190hp) and three diesel engines (1.6 TDI of 115hp, 2.0 TDI of 150hp and 2.0 TDI of 190hp).

The Frankfurt Motor Show is featuring SUVs
- 说明
The Frankfurt Motor Show is featuring SUVs
- The Frankfurt 2017 show is still focusing its attention on SUVs, as Inovev has counted 70% of SUV among the main car innovations exhibited for the first time at this show. The popularity of SUVs is therefore not ready to fade, especially as these models will mostly be marketed before the end of 2017.
- Among these SUVs are the BMW X3, BMW X7 (concept), Citroen C3 Aircross, Dacia Duster, Ford Ecosport, Honda CRV, Hyundai Kona, Jaguar E-Pace, Kia Stonic, Opel Grandland, Porsche Cayenne, Seat Arona , Skoda Karoq, Volvo XC40, Volkswagen T-Roc.
- Of these fifteen SUVs, 5 are B segment, 7 are C segment, 1 is D segment, 1 is E segment and 1 is F segment.
- Manufacturers have therefore favored the least expensive categories (B and C segments) for their new SUVs presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show, which are also the two segments with the most demand.
- In the first 8 months of 2017, SUV sales made up 28.5% of the European PC market.
- Over the same period, segment A SUVs accounted for 1.5% of total SUV sales, B segment sales accounted for 26%, C segment for 47%, D segment for 19%, SU segment represent 5% and those of the FB segment represent 1.5%. SUVs of B and C segments are therefore the most sold.
