Inovev expects 85 000 annual sales for the Porsche Cayenne
- Porsche (a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group) unveiled the new generation E segment SUV, the Cayenne (the previous one was in 2010) based on the MLB platform (the previous one used the PL71 platform) which will be shared with the future Volkswagen Touareg and Lamborghini Urus, which was inaugurated on the Audi Q7 in 2015 and on the Bentley Bentayga in 2016. The new generation of the Porsche Cayenne retains the style of the older generation, to capitalize on the success of a model that has sold more than 500,000 copies in seven years (more than 70,000 a year), which allowed Porsche to establish a strong presence in the SUV category, starting with the first generation of the Cayenne in 2002.
- The Cayenne has made it possible to diversify the product range of the Porsche brand and to significantly increase sales. The Cayenne currently accounts for one-third of the brand's sales, after having accounted for almost half of it, just before the launch of the D-segment SUV, the Macan, which logically took some of its customers.
- The new generation of the Cayenne will be manufactured on the Porsche site in Leipzig, as was the previous generation. Inovev projects a production volume of between 80,000 and 85,000 units per year of this new generation.
- The new Cayenne should be equipped with the V6 3.0 gasoline and 3.0 diesel engines, but no longer with V8 engines . On the other hand, a plug-in hybrid model should be launched next year.

Inovev expects 350 000 to 400 000 annual sales for the new Duster
- Dacia (subsidiary of the Renault group) unveiled the second generation of its SUV Duster (the previous one was in 2010). The manufacturer has capitalized on the success of the first generation , making few changes in the characteristic style of the Duster.
- The Duster has sold more than two million copies in seven years, or nearly 300,000 units a year, making it one of the most sold models of the Renault group for a decade. The Duster was marketed under both Renault and Dacia brands. Half was sold under the Dacia brand for European markets and the other half under the Renault brand for the Russian, Ukrainian, Indian and South American markets.
- Production has been carried out so far on five sites that will continue to function in the same way for the new generation of Duster: Pitesti (Romania), Moscow (Russia), Chennai (India), Curitiba (Brazil) and Envigado (Columbia). Each production site will continue to supply local markets.
-The new Duster is built on the same platform as the old one (it is the Clio II platform) using the same engines, namely the 1.2-petrol 125ch and the 1.5 diesel 110hp. The former 1.6 petrol of 115hp would be removed. The new Duster is still without any real competitors, since it remains much cheaper than the segment C SUVs to which it could be compared. Inovev expects a volume of 350,000 to 400,000 sales per year of the new Duster.

New Generation Honda CRV discontinues diesel engine

New Generation Honda CRV discontinues diesel engine
- Honda introduced the new generation of its medium-sized SUV CRV, which replaces the previous one launched in 2012. The new CRV, which remains very similar to its predecessor, will be marketed from 2018. The manufacturer wanted to capitalize on the success of a model sold at nearly 680,000 units in 2016,by keeping its styling for the new model.
- However, two key developments characterize the new generation of CRV:
1 / this model will no longer exist in diesel engine. The old diesel engine will be replaced by a new non-rechargeable hybrid engine. It will be based on a 2.0 petrol engine combined with an electric motor. In addition, the CRV will have a gasoline engine 1.5 turbo developing 190hp.
2 / the new CRV marketed in Europe will no longer be manufactured in England, but in Canada, at the Alliston site in Ontario. It is true that older generations of the CRV had already been manufactured for many years in North America, notably on the Alliston site in Canada (210,000 units in 2016), on the American site of East Liberty (167,000 units in 2016) and on the Mexican site of El Salto Jalisco (60,000 units in 2016).
- The two key developments are related to the fact that North American plants do not generally manufacture diesel-powered SUVs due to the lack of demand for these motors in the NAFTA zone.

Inovev expects annual sales of 110 000 to 120 000 for the T-Roc
- In order to strengthen its presence in the compact SUV category, the Volkswagen brand unveils a SUV smaller than its Tiguan (segment C), TiguanAllspace (D segment) and Touareg (E segment). The new model, called T-Roc, retains the T-letter attributed to all the SUV's and uses the MQB-B platform shared with the Audi A3 (2012), Audi TT (2015), Audi Q2 (2016), Skoda Octavia (2012), Skoda Superb (2015), Skoda Kodiaq (2016), Skoda Karoq (2017), VW Golf (2012), VW Passat (2014), VW Touran (2015), VW Tiguan (2016), VW TiguanAllspace (2017) and VW Arteon (2017).
- The T-Roc, because of its dimensions, its engines and its price, is located between B and C segments. It is based on the Golf but is smaller than the Tiguan (4.49m) and larger as the future T-Cross based on the Polo. It is actually close to an Audi Q2 (4.23m). It will therefore compete with the biggest SUVs in B segment and the smallest SUVs in C segment ...
- The VW T-Roc will be manufactured on the Volkswagen site in Palmela (Portugal) which has a maximum capacity of 175,000 vehicles per year. The T-Roc will take advantage of the stop of the Scirocco coupe to use the site and saturate its capacity . Inovev expects a volume of 110,000 to 120,000 annual sales of the T-Roc, which fits perfectly within the framework of the plant's 175,000 units capacity. The T-Roc is equipped with three gasoline engines (1.0 TSI 115hp, 1.5 TSI 150hp, 2.0 TSI 190hp) and three diesel engines (1.6 TDI of 115hp, 2.0 TDI of 150hp and 2.0 TDI of 190hp).
