Jaguar I-Pace
- Jaguar introduces the new i-Pace SUV, its first 100% electric model. Directly competing with the Tesla Model 3, the i-Pace is more like a raised four-door sedan than a real SUV.

- Jaguar said the US would be the first outlet for this vehicle (California being a major market for electric cars), but that China and Europe would also be targeted markets.
-The Jaguar i-Pace (480km range) uses a new platform that will serve as a basis for future electric models of the Jaguar and Land Rover brands.

Peugeot 508
- Peugeot presents the new generation of its 508, in the highly competitive D segment sedan market. Suffering from not only the competition of German premium sedans but also the growth of SUV, Peugeot has chosen for its 508 sedan to attack a niche market, the Audi A5 Sportback and VW Arteon.

- The engines will be the following: a 1600 petrol PureTech of 180hp and 225hp, a 1500 diesel BlueHDI of 130hp, a 2000 diesel BlueHDI of 160hp and 180hp. A rechargeable hybrid petrol version is scheduled for the end of 2019.
- The model will be marketed in Europe from September 2018.

- The new models - including the Combo - are built on the same PSA EMP2 platform and share many body parts, but their front ends are specific.
- They all have the same engines (1200 gasoline 110hp and 130hp, 1500 diesel 75hp, 100hp and 130hp).

Mercedes A Class
- Mercedes presents the fourth generation of its C-segment sedan, the A-Class. This model rivals the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3, which will be renewed next year. The new model is expected to sell 250,000 copies a year, given a European market that is expected to stabilize.
- The new Mercedes A-Class is based on the MFA2 platform (which is an evolution of the MFA) and its engines will be as follows: a 1330cc 4-cylinder gasoline engine developing 163 hp (Renault engine), a 2000cc 4-cylinder gasoline engine developing 224 hp, a 4 cylinder diesel 1500cc developing 116hp (Renault engine).
- The new Mercedes A-Class will be produced in the German factory in Rastatt. It will soon be supported by new generations of Class B and CLA, as well as an SUV called GLB.
Mercedes CLS
- Mercedes introduces the third generation of the CLS which is between the E-Class and the S-Class in the manufacturer's range. This model competes with the Audi A7 Sportback and BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé.
- The new CLS will try to boost the sales of this family of models which peaked in 2005 (first generation), with a peak production of 53,000 units, but then experienced a clear slump (30,000 units in 2014, 20 000 units in 2017), due to the decline of sports-oriented sedans (the Audi A7 and BMW 6 Series are experiencing the same trend) in the face of competition from SUVs that are attracting more customers, and the traditional sedans that have recently been renewed (Mercedes E-Class, BMW Series 5). This model will not benefit from the V8 engines that will be exclusive to AMG GT Sedan. The AMG GT is actually the sporting version of the CLS. Inovev expects a production of 25,000 annual units of this new CLS.
Mercedes AMG GT 4 Door Coupé
- Mercedes presents the 4-door version of the AMG GT, which until now has been available only in coupe and cabriolet versions.
- This new model - that competes a little with the Mercedes CLS presented in the same show - is one of the fastest sedans in the world (300 km/h).
- BMW will launch an 8 Series Gran Coupe next year, capable of competing with the AMG sedan. A concept anticipating this Series 8 Gran Coupe is presented at the same show.
- Inovev forecasts a production volume of 2,500 units per year of the new AMG GT 4-door, which will be marketed from summer 2018.

BMW X4
- BMW unveiled the second generation of its X4 SUV which is the coupe version of the D-segment X3 SUV launched in late 2017. The new BMW SUV will compete directly with the Mercedes GLC coupe.
- While sales of the BMW X3 reached a peak of 150,000 units in 2012, 2013 and 2016, those of the BMW X4 have never exceeded 60,000 units per year.
- In 2017, sales of the X3 dropped to 130,000 units and X4 sales to 50,000 units, but the new generations of X3 and X4 have the mission to boost sales, probably to 150,000 units annually for the X3 and 55,000 annual units for the X4, not counting China which should also assemble these models soon. Today they are produced only in the United States, in the Spartanburg (South Carolina) factory.
