The Toyota Yaris Cross is the most produced car in France in 2022
- The Toyota Yaris Cross becomes the most produced car in France in 2022, ahead of the Peugeot 3008 by only 2,342 units. The "crossover" version of the Yaris launched in 2021 recorded a volume of 161,508 units produced on French soil in 2022, compared to 159,166 units for the Peugeot 3008 and 107,405 units for the new generation of the Peugeot 308.
- The Toyota Yaris (sedan) on its side is now mainly produced on the Czech site of Kolin belonging to the Japanese carmaker. Nevertheless, part of the production of the sedan is still made on the Onnaing site. The distribution of production between the two sites is decided according to the trims and the destination markets. In any case, the Onnaing plant does not have enough production capacity to produce both the Yaris and the Yaris Cross in full. Moreover, with the end of production last year of the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 108 at Toyota's Kolin site (vehicles based on the same design as the Toyota Aygo), more than half of the production capacity of the Czech site was available. Today, therefore, the Czech site produces both the Toyota Yaris sedan and the Toyota Aygo, which has become Aygo X since its renewal last year.
- As a result, the production volume in France of the Toyota Yaris sedan in 2022 is lower than that of the Opel Mokkaproduced at the French site of Poissy. The Opel Mokka could actually enter the top 3 of vehicles produced in France next year.
- We can note the absence of Renault models in this list, but the carmaker's high-volume models are all produced outside France: Clio in Turkey and Slovenia, Captur and Mégane in Spain, Twingo in Slovenia, Arkana in South Korea South.
