The Most Produced A Segment Car in the World in 2016
- The global market for A segment vehicles was at 4.65 million units in 2016, compared with 4.82 million units in 2015. The most produced A segment car in the world in 2016 was the Suzuki Alto 800, as for several years. Throughout its various generations since 1979, this model has always been one of the cheapest cars on the market. The current generation is mainly sold and produced in India, where 245,000 sales were recorded in 2016 (out of a volume of 267,000 units worldwide). Indeed, India is a 3 million PC market of which a large part are A segment cars (1 million PC , or 33% of the Indian market).
- The Alto 800 suffered a 20% drop in its sales in 2016, from 332,000 to 267,000 units, as this model (launched in 2012) is gradually being replaced by the Suzuki Celerio (launched in 2015), in the same category, which sold 90,000 units in 2016 and is expected to continue to increase in pace in 2017 and 2018.
- The sedans in the same segment as the Suzuki Alto 800 are mainly Suzuki Wagon R, Fiat Panda, Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, Renault Twingo, Citroen C1, Peugeot 108, Toyota Aygo, Volkswagen Up, Opel Karl, Mitsubishi Space Star, and Chevrolet Spark . Although they are all part of the same A segment, these sedans are not necessarily marketed in the same countries.
