Inovev forecast 100,000 units per year of the new Citroën C4
- Citroën has unveiled its new C segment sedan which will replace the C4 and C4 Cactus from January 2021. The new model called C4 therefore mixes the style of these two cars, the sedan style and the SUV style, which gives it a very personal style. According to the carmaker, the choice of the body style corresponds to a crossover choice, making it possible to attract both sedan and compact SUV customers. The new C4 will be produced at the Villaverde site (Spain) as the C4 Cactus. This site is a former Barreiros site, which became Chrysler Spain in 1970 then Talbot in 1979 and finally a PSA site in 1987.
- The new C4 is based on the CMP platformused on the Peugeot 208 and Opel Corsa of B-segment, and not on the EMP2 platform of the C-segment Peugeot 308 and Citroën C5 Aircross. This is why the C4 is available in petrol version, diesel version and 100% electric version, which allows the CMP platform. The C4 receives the 1.2 liter 3-cylinder petrol (99hp, 128hp and 153hp), the 1.5-liter 4-cylinder diesel (101hp) and the electric motor already fitted to the Peugeot e-208, e-2008 and Opel e-Corsa. The batteries capacity allows a range of 300 km according to the WLTP cycle.
- The e-C4 should cost 10,000 euros more than the C4 petrol, but with the government subsidy for plug-in cars, its price should be fairly close.
- Inovev forecasts a volume of 100,000 units per year for the new Citroën C4 produced in Villaverde. The C4 competes with the VW Golf, Ford Focus, Opel Astra, Renault Mégane, Peugeot 308, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Hyundai i30 and Kia XCeed.

Inovev forecast 800,000 units per year of the new Ford F-150 Series
- 说明
Inovev forecast 800,000 units per year of the new Ford F-150 Series
- After five years of career, the Ford F-150 Series pickup truck is completely redesigned. This model, which remains the sales leader in the United States and Canada, is one of the most produced models in the world, even if the volume of 700,000 units sold worldwide in 2019 (including 500,000 in the United States and 150,000 in Canada) is far from the figures reached before 2008 (more than a million units in 2005 for example). These figures reflect an unfavorable development in the market for large pick-ups.
- The big pickup trend is declining, even in the United States. If the Dodge Ram has seen its influence increase until recently supplanting the Chevrolet Silverado, the sales of large pickups overall segment are decreasing for several years. The Chevrolet Silverado and the Ford F-Series have thus lost part of their traditional sales and Japanese carmakers are still experiencing difficulties in this category.
- Ford intends to boost sales of its favorite model by launching a new generation of the F-Series, available now in six different engines: a 3.3-liter V6 gasoline naturally aspirated, a 2.7-liter V6 twin-turbo petrol, a V6 twin-turbo petrol , 5 liters, a 5.0 liter gasoline V8 naturally aspirated, a 3.0 liter V6 turbodiesel and a 3.5 liter twin turbo V6.
- This is the first time that the Ford F-Series has received a hybrid engine. A 100% electric version is even scheduled for 2022.
- The Ford F-150 Series will continue to be produced at the historic plant in Dearborn, Michigan near Detroit. Inovev forecasts 800,000 units of the new Ford pickup truck annually, taking into account the changing market for large pickups.

Inovev forecasts 500,000 units per year of the new Nissan X-Trail
- 说明
Inovev forecasts 500,000 units per year of the new Nissan X-Trail
- Nissan currently has several SUVs in its range, spread over different segments. Thus the Japanese carmaker markets the Juke (B-segment), the Qashqai (C-segment) known in North America under the name Rogue Sport, the X-Trail (D-segment) known in North America under the name Rogue, the Pathfinder (E-segment) and Murano (E-segment). In certain markets, Nissan also distributes the Kicks (B-segment) and the Terrano(C-segment).
- The X-Trail (Rogue) has so far represented the largest production volume with a total of nearly 900,000 units produced in 2017, but sales of the model collapsed in 2019 with only 443,000 copies, which represents a fall of 50% in two years. Such a fall seems to be part of the current difficulties of Nissan. The Japanese carmaker will try to boost sales of the model by replacing it with a new generation that has just been unveiled on the American market, but which will also be marketed in Europe in the same form in a few months.
- 4 cm shorter than the old generation, the new X-Trail has a 2.5 liter petrol of 180 hp for the American market, but it will use a 1600 diesel of 130 hp and a 2000 diesel of 177 hp on the European market.
- The X-Trail will not be produced on the Sunderland (United Kingdom) plant as initially planned, but on the Kyushu (Japan) plant. Inovev forecasts 500,000 units per year of the new X-Trail (including the Rogue). The trend for large SUVs with thermal engines is likely to be declining and the X-Trail will not return to the levels known between 2015 and 2018.

The design of the Mokka is very different from the Peugeot 2008 and DS 3 Crossback, in order to personalize each SUV of each brand.
