Paris Motorshow 2024: other new features from the Renault group
- Dacia Bigster: the Dacia Bigster will be a long wheelbased version of the Dacia Duster as it will measure nearly 4.60 m compared to 4.34 m for the Duster. It will thus be the first model of the brand to nearly be positioned in the D-segment SUVs while the Duster is more of a C-segment SUV. The Bigster based on the same CMF-B platform as the Duster takes up the idea of the long version currently marketed such as the Peugeot 5008 (extension of the Peugeot 3008) or Renault Espace (extension of the Renault Austral). The Bigster could receive a new 1.8 hybrid instead of the 1.6 hybrid available on the Duster. The production volume of the Bigster could reach 50,000 units per year at the Romanian site in Pitesti.
- Alpine A290: the sports version of the new Renault 5 E-Tech is presented at the 2024 Paris Motor Show under the Alpine brand. This is therefore the brand's first battery electric model, which comes a few months ahead of the launch of the future battery electric Alpine SUVs and Alpine coupes planned for 2025-2026. This model with a power of 180 hp or 220 hp depending on the engine will be sold at a price of 38,700 euros for the basic version. The Alpine A290 will be assembled at the Dieppe site alongside the A110 coupe. A volume of 5,000 units per year is a realistic forecast.
- Renault 4 E-Tech: the Renault 4 E-Tech will be a compact SUV slightly longer than the Renault 5 E-Tech sedan (4.16 m compared to 3.92 m), from which it will take the CMF-B platform and engine. It will be a little more expensive than the Renault 5 E-Tech and will be produced in Maubeuge and not in Douai, at 400,000 units between 2024 and 2030, representing an average yearly volume of 56,000 units.

- Skoda Elroq: this compact B-segment SUV joins the market of battery electric SUVs. The Skoda Elroq is in a way the BEV version of the Skoda Kamiq SUV but it has its own body style. It is one of these new BEVs with lower prices than those usually marketed by carmakers and with a mission to revive the electric market by targeting a wider clientele than what of most BEVs offered until now. A production volume of 50,000 units per year is expected.
- Volkswagen Tayron: this large D-segment SUV is ideally positioned between the Volkswagen Tiguan (C-segment) and the Volkswagen Touareg (E-segment). It replaces the old Tiguan Allspace. It is equipped with thermal engines. There are no plans to derive a battery electric version, but it will be marketed with a plug-in hybrid engine. If the model is produced in Europe (Wolfsburg), it will reach 50,000 units per year. An other Tayron is also available in China where it has been produced since 2018.
- Volkswagen ID2: the B-segment Volkswagen ID2 will be the brand's entry-level battery electric sedan, therefore marketed at a lower price than the ID3. The ID2 uses the design style of the Polo, which has just ceased production, and will be produced like it in Spain. It will be a competitor to the Renault 5 E-Tech, Citroën e-C3, Fiat Panda e, Opel e-Corsa, Peugeot e-208, Lancia Ypsilon E and Mini E. If the electric market develops as expected, Inovev foreacasts a volume of 100,000 sales per year of the ID2 model.

- The Audi brand (a premium brand of the Volkswagen group) has unveiled the third generation of its D-segment SUV, the Q5, which replaces the 2016 model. Based on the new PPC platform dedicated to models with thermal and hybrid engines (the PPE platform being dedicated to battery electric models), the new Q5 is equipped with a 2.0 TFSI petrol engine or a 2.0 TDI diesel engine, supported by a 48V micro-hybridisation (MHEV), which brings the power of these two engines to 265 hp and 204 hp respectively. Plug-in hybrid versions of 299 hp and 367 hp based on the 2.0 petrol will be added next year. The new Audi Q5 SUV competes with the Mercedes GLC, BMW X3, Volvo XC60 and Jaguar F-Pace. Its dimensions are also comparable to those of the Mercedes GLC: 4.72 m long, 1.89 m wide, 1.65 m high.
- The Audi Q5 has been the best-selling model of the Audi brand for several years, because it is a mid-range SUV sold in Europe, China and North America. It is also manufactured today in China and North America (Mexico) in roughly equivalent volumes, but not in Europe, which imports the Q5 from Mexico. The Audi Q5, with 333,000 units produced in 2023, supplants the Audi Q3 (C segment) which did not exceed 200,000 units last year.
- The new Audi Q5 SUV will be manufactured at the San José Chiapa site (Mexico) and at the Changchun site (China) at 300,000 units per year, split 50/50 between these two sites.

Paris Motorshow 2024: Inovev forecasts 150,000 units of the new BMW 1 Series
- After only five years of career, the BMW 1 Series (C-segment sedan) intensively competed by the BMW Active Tourer and BMW X1 is replaced by a new generation (code F70) which is the fourth since 2004.
- The style remains quite close to the old model (code F40), but we notice a lower hood and a thinner grille, inspired by the "NeueKlasse" concept. This traditional competitor of the Mercedes A-Class and Audi A3 is 4 cm longer to reach 4.36 m for an unchanged wheelbase of 2.67 m. The platform is the same as the previous 1 Series, meaning the UKL platform also used by different models of the Mini brand.
- No battery electric version (BEV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) on this new 1 Series available only in five doors, but micro-hybrid engines (MHEV) in 1.5 petrol version of 170 hp and in 2.0 turbo diesel version of 163 hp. The top-of-the-range version is equipped with a four-cylinder 2.0 turbo petrol of 300 hp and an all-wheel drive.
- Sales of the 1 Series, which peaked in the years 2008-2013, declined after the arrival of the BMW Active Tourer minivan in 2014 and after the arrival of the second generation of the BMW X1 SUV in 2015. Sales of the 1 Series fell from 225,000 units in 2013 to 175,000 in 2016, 125,000 in 2020 and 100,000 in 2023.
- Produced at the German plant in Leipzig, the new 1 Series could be produced at 150,000 units per year by 2030. It could benefit from the withdrawal of the Mercedes A-Class, which will be ended next year.
