Inovev forecasts 70,000 VW Touareg/year from 2019 to 2021
- Volkswagen did not present the new generation of the Touareg at the Geneva Motor Show (despite the fact that the model was ready), reserving it for the Beijing Motor Show at the end of April 2018. The Touareg , an E segment SUV, competes with the BMW X5, Audi Q7, Mercedes GLE, Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Velar, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota Land Cruiser, Lexus RX, and Infiniti QX70. Premium brands are predominant in this market, hence Volkswagen’s difficulty to compete.
- This third-generation Touareg is based on the MLB platform shared by the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and Bentley Bentayga. The new Touareg is 8cm longer than the old one, 4cm wider, but 100kg lighter thanks to the use of aluminum and high performance steels.
- The engines selected for this model are : a 3.0 turbodiesel developing 228 hp, a 3.0 turbogasoline developing 336 hp and a 4.0 turbodiesel developing 417 hp. A plug-in hybrid version is planned for 2019.
- The new Volkswagen Touareg will be manufactured as previously on the Slovak site of Bratislava, alongside the Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Up, Skoda Citigo, Seat Mii. The production of the previous generation had fallen a lot, from 80,000 units in 2011 to 40,000 in 2017. Inovev forecasts 70,000 units produced annually from 2019 to 2021; from 2022 to 2025 production is expected to decline.

The most produced vehicle in the world in 2017
- As for several decades, the most produced vehicle in the world in 2017 is also the most produced and the most sold in the United States, since it is the big Ford F Series pickup truck (1 073 000 units produced, against 1 012 000 in 2016) which actually includes two models of different sizes: the F Series itself or F150 (700 000 produced, against 695 000 in 2016) and the F-series Super Duty larger or F250 / 350/450 / 550/650/750 (373,000 produced, compared to 317,000 in 2016). The current Ford F Series dates from 2015, this is its thirteenth generation.
- The Ford F Series is the best-selling model in the United States since 1978 and the best-selling model in the world since 1983. It is still manufactured in the Detroit area of Michigan. The Ford F Series has two major competitors: the Dodge Ram pickup (636,000 units produced in 2017, compared to 614,000 in 2016) and the Chevrolet Silverado (635,000 units produced in 2017, compared to 657,000 in 2016). In 2017, these two competitors occupy the 8th and 9th world places respectively. They have just been renewed both in 2018 and should therefore improve their position compared to 2017.
- Behind the Ford F-Series, the world's most produced models are the Toyota Corolla and VW Golf sedans, ahead of the Toyota RAV4 and VW Tiguan SUVs. Of the 15 most-produced models in the world in 2017, there are 4 Toyota, 4 Volkswagen, 2 Honda, 2 Ford, 1 Chevrolet, 1 Dodge and 1 GM-Wuling.

The most produced car in Asia in 2017
- The car produced most in Asia in 2017 is also the most produced car in Japan in 2017, the Toyota RAV4 which has totaled 558,000 units manufactured (including 430,000 in Japan and 128,000 in China). This SUV is for the first time ahead of the Chinese minivan GM-Wuling Hongguang (545,000 units) which was until now the most produced model in Asia.
- The Hongguang‘s production has declined since 2015, due to the declining influence of minivans on the Chinese market explained by the strong growth of SUVs, but also due to the rise in cadences of Baojun models from GM-Wuling platforms. The Hongguang has thus gone from first to second place in 2017 and this decline can only increase in the future.
- The Toyota RAV4 is the most produced model in Asia, but also the fourth most produced in the world, behind the Ford F Series F (1,073,000 units), Toyota Corolla (974,000) and VW Golf (923,000). The current Toyota RAV4, which dates from 2013, is the fourth generation of the model. The fifth generation will be presented in 2018, with the start of sales planned for the first half of 2019.
- The Toyota RAV4 and GM-WulingHongguangare ahead of the Toyota Hilux and VW Lavida. Of the 15 most-produced models in Asia in 2017, there are 4 Volkswagen, 3 Toyota, 3 Nissan, 1 GM-Wuling, 1 Buick, 1 Baojun, 1 Mazda and 1 Suzuki.
