Mazda sold 1.59 million vehicles worldwide in 2018

- Mazda sold 1.59 million vehicles (passenger cars + light commercial vehicles) in 2018, a decrease of 0.7% compared to 2017. The Japanese manufacturer remains in fourteenth position worldwide, behind BMW, Daimler and Geely, but ahead of Tata Motors and Changan.

- Once linked to the Ford group, Mazda is now linked to the Toyota group. The latter holds 5% of Mazda's capital, a share that is too small to allow consolidation with the leading Japanese automaker.

- Mazda's worldwide sales in 2018 can be broken down as follows:

1. The United States is its largest market, with 300,000 vehicles, or 19% of its worldwide sales.

2. China is its second largest market, with 280,000 vehicles, or 18% of its worldwide sales.

3. Europe is its third largest market, with 223,000 vehicles, or 14% of its worldwide sales.

4. Japan is its fourth largest market, with 221,000 vehicles, or 14% of its worldwide sales.

- These four markets accounted for 65% of Mazda's worldwide sales in 2018.

- Mazda's best-selling models in 2018 are the Mazda CX5 (419,000 units), Mazda 3 (352,000 units), Mazda CX3 (136,000 units), Mazda 6 (124,000 units) and Mazda 2 (116,000 units).

Nissan will not manufacture the future X-Trail in Sunderland

- Nissan has announced that it will not manufacture the future SUV X-Trail (scheduled for 2020) at its UK site in Sunderland, due to uncertainties related to Brexit.

- Last year, the Japanese automaker announced that it would manufacture its future X-Trail in Sunderland, alongside the Qashqai, but negotiations between the European Union and Great Britain on Brexit  have not lead to a clear agreement so far, so Nissan decided to postpone or even abandon this project permanently.

- In 2018, the X-Trail sold 45,000 units in Europe (29 countries). The manufacturer was expecting a production volume of 50,000  per year at the Sunderland site, in addition to the 250,000 units of the Qashqai, which will also be  replaced in 2020 (215,000 units were sold in Europe last year).

- The Sunderland site is also expected to abandon production of the Infiniti Q30/QX30, whose sales have not met the manufacturer's objectives. These models’, whose origins date back to 2015, sales in Europe fell to less than 3,800 units in 2018, compared to 8,700 units in 2017 and 8,200 units in 2016. This low sales volume no longer justifies the continued manufacture of this model, even taking into consideration the 8,100 units exported in 2018 ( compared to 14,100 units in 2017 and 12,300 units in 2016).  Indeed Nissan is questioning  the future of the Infiniti brand in Europe.

Subaru sold 1.01 million vehicles worldwide in 2018

- Subaru sold 1.01 million vehicles (passenger cars + light commercial vehicles) in 2018, a 5% decrease from 2017. The seventh Japanese manufacturer remains in 20th position worldwide, behind the Chinese OEMs BAIC, Great Wall and Dongfeng, but ahead of MG-Roeweand Chery.

- Subaru was created by Fuji Heavy Industries, itself a spin-off of the aeronautics company Nakajima Aircraft, which manufactured combat aircraft during the Second World War. Currently, the Toyota group holds 16.5% of Subaru's capital, a share that is too small to allow consolidation with the leading Japanese manufacturer.

- Subaru's worldwide sales in 2018 can be broken down as follows:

1. The United States is by far its largest market, with 680,000 vehicles, or 67% of its worldwide sales.

2. Japan is its second largest market, with 150,000 vehicles, or 15% of its worldwide sales.

3. Europe is its third largest market, with 33,000 vehicles, or 3% of its worldwide sales.

- These three markets accounted for 85% of Subaru's worldwide sales in 2018.

- Subaru's best-selling models in 2018 are the Forester (246,000 units), Outback (208,000 units), XV (194,000 units) and Impreza (153,000 units).

The European market (PC+LCV) grew by 0.4% in 2018

- The European - 29 countries - automotive market (passenger cars + light commercial vehicles) increased by 0.4% in 2018, to 17,736,775 units from 17,673,367 units in 2017. Passenger cars accounted for 15,606,512 units (compared with 15,607,878 in 2017), almost stable compared with the previous year, while light commercial vehicles accounted for 2,130,263 units (compared with 2,065,489 in 2017), a slight increase compared with the previous year (+3.1%). It was therefore the growth in LCV sales that enabled the European market to remain positive at the end of last year.

- The PC market suffered from the decline in the British market (-6.8%), the first consequence of Brexit, and the upgrading of newly marketed models to WLTP standards from September onwards. As a result, European market sales declined significantly in the last quarter.

- Accordingly, the European market remained the second largest in the world, behind China (28.1 million units) and ahead of the United States (17.3 million units), but failed to reach its level recorded before 2008. Between 2004 and 2007, the European market reached a level between 17.9 million and 18.6 million units, on a like-for-like basis.

- The year 2019 should be more difficult, as Inovev expects a stable or even slightly declining European market.
