Europe's 2014 new model launches
- The year 2014 promises to be full of novelties. In Europe, we will see the launch of the following models:
- Segment A: The new Renault Twingo and Smart Fortwo designed on a common platform .
- Segment B: the new Skoda Fabia and Fiat 500X. The latter is a mini-SUV designed on the same platform as the Fiat 500L and will compete with the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur, Peugeot 2008, Opel Mokka. Incidentally, the 500X will replace the Sedici that was designed on the Suzuki SX4 platform. Ford will launch the Ecosport that will tackle this mini-SUV market. This model should derive from the one sold last year in South America. Opel will launch a new Corsa, although according to our information, it could only be a restyling of the current model. Similar to the restyling of the Meriva.
- Segment C: Peugeot 308 SW and Volkswagen Golf Sportsvan should address the market for compact estate cars. In the SUV category, Nissan will launch a new Qashqai and Jeep a new Cherokee. In the Premium category the new Audi TT and the Infiniti Q30 (based on Mercedes Class A) will also be launched.
