Inovev forecasts 50,000 units of the new Dacia Bigster SUV
07 November 2024

- The Dacia brand (a subsidiary of the Renault group) presented its new “top-of-the-range” model, the Bigster SUV, at the 2024 Paris Motor Show. Derived from the Duster, the Bigster is 23 cm longer (4.57 m) and 5 cm higher (1.71 m). Despite its more imposing dimensions than the Duster, the Bigster only allows five passengers so as not to compete the Dacia Jogger, which is a seven seats station wagon version of the Sandero. However, a seven-seater version of the Bigster was initially considered. It is not impossible that the carmaker would change its mind if the market demand for this type of version is high. Indeed, the Jogger is not strictly speaking an SUV, but rather a station wagon, the two models evolving in different worlds.

- Due to its dimensions, the Bigster is located between the C and D segments, while the Duster is located in the C-segment on the edge of the B-segment. The Bigster thus illustrates a real move upmarket of the Dacia brand, which confirms its technical specifications: a 1.2 48V petrol with 140 hp (103 kW) and a new 1.8 hybrid with 155 hp (114 kW).

- Prices for the Bigster range from 25,000 euros for the 1.2 gasoline version to 30,000 euros for the 1.8 hybrid version. Inovev is counting on 50,000 sales per year of the new Dacia Bigster, four times less than the Duster (200,000 units per year). Both models are produced at the Romanian Pitesti factory, alongside the Dacia Jogger station wagon.

Chinese brands now represent 2/3 of the Chinese market
23 October 2024

- The market share of Chinese automobile brands reached 67% for the first time in August 2024, after reaching 65% in June and then 66% in July this year. The progression of Chinese brands seems unstoppable since 2023 and it is to the detriment of foreign brands which have not been able to take the turn towards electric, a specialty of Chinese carmakers, with the BYD brand as the leading figure which has overtaken the group Volkswagen on the Chinese market in 2024. BYD currently occupies 14.5% of the market compared to 10.3% for the German carmaker.

- The former Chinese market leader Volkswagen has lost almost half of its market share in five years in China. The former number two, the GM group, lost nearly two thirds of its market share during the same period, and now these two groups together represent a market share comparable to BYD one on the Chinese market.

- If we only count the American brands of the GM group (Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac), the market share of this group went from 7% in 2019 to 2% in 2024, and it is likely that these brands will disappear from this market in the short term.

- The performance is quite different when we observe the evolution of Chinese brands: BYD increased its sales by 30% over the first eight months of 2024 compared to the first eight months of 2023, Geely by 31%, Chery by 42%. These three carmakers now represent a third of the sales on the Chinese market. Some small carmakers are seeing their sales increase significantly: Leapmotor (136,794 units, +87%), NIO (128,100 units, +41%) or Li Auto (288,105 units, +38%). And Aito (301,380 units) and Xiaomi (57,098 units) have successfully started their first commercial year.
