- B-segment cars continue to grow in 2014 in the European market, thanks to the good performance of traditional models like the Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio, Volkswagen Polo or Opel Corsa, and partly due to strong growth in the SUV body B - segment with the Renault Captur, Opel Mokka and Peugeot 2008. This body already accounts for 16% of B-segment vehicle sales in 2014.

- B segment SUVs (body initiated by the Nissan Juke) will make further progress in the years 2015 and 2016, since Fiat has just launched the 500X (derived from the recent Jeep Renegade), Honda will launch its new HRV (derived from the Japanese Vezel version), next year Toyota will launch a competitor to the Honda HRV, Hyundai and Kia also announced new SUVs in segment B and finally Ford has decided to make changes to the Ecosport SUV imported from India to Europe and to make this model increasingly competitive compared to the to other vehicles available on the same market.

- The gap is closing between B - segment (33% of the European market) and C  - segment (38% of the European market).
All other segments are down. The D - segment has gradually decreased from 19% of the market in 2000 to 13% in 2014, the A segment after the sales boost caused by scrappage schemes (2008-2009-2010) fell in 2014 to its year 2000 level, finally E segment decreased by half (from 10% in2000 to §% in 2014).
