End of production of the Citroën C-Zero and Peugeot Ion
- The PSA group has decided to stop manufacturing the Citroën C-Zero and Peugeot Ion, which have been its only sedans with 100% electric motors since 2010. These two A-segment sedans were derived from the electric Mitsubishi i-Miev. All three models were manufactured in the same Japanese factory in Mizushima, which belongs to Mitsubishi. In total, 24,000 Citroën C-Zero and Peugeot Ion cars were sold between 2010 and 2019.
- But since the Mitsubishi Motors brand was acquired by Nissan in 2016, it could be assumed that the careers of the Citroën C-Zero and Peugeot Ion would end. It was not until the launch in 2019 of PSA's new 100% electric sedans (which this time have nothing to do with Mitsubishi) that the decision was taken to stop manufacturing the Citroën C-Zero and Peugeot Ion. The commercial career of the Opel Ampera-e (GM-designed) is also expected to end at the same time.
- PSA's new 100% electric sedans are the Peugeot e-208 and Opel e-Corsa, which will be launched in the coming months, and the DS 3 Crossback E-Tense, which has just been launched.
- In addition to these 100% electric sedans, the PSA group will soon be marketing the recent Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Partner and Opel Combo in new electric versions. These N1-1 segment utility vehicles will be followed by the electric variants of the Citroën Jumpy, Peugeot Expert and Opel Vivaro. These N1-2 segment utility vehicles will themselves be followed by the electric variants of the Citroën Jumper, Peugeot Boxer and Opel Movano, which are N1-3 segment utility vehicles.

Inovev forecasts 300,000 new Opel Corsa per year

Inovev forecasts 300,000 new Opel Corsa per year
- The PSA group has unveiled the new generation of the Opel Corsa (B-segment sedan), which is now based on the Peugeot 208's CMP platform, and no longer on the old Fiat Punto platform. This new model competes with the Peugeot 208 and Citroën C3 of the PSA group, but also with the Renault Clio, Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Polo, Audi A1, Seat Ibiza, Skoda Fabia, Toyota Yaris, Nissan Micra, Hyundai i20 and Kia Rio. The Fiat-Chrysler group's competing models have all disappeared since production of the Fiat Punto and Alfa-Romeo Mito ceased in the second half of last year.
- This sixth generation of the Opel Corsa will be the first to benefit from a 100% electric engine (which should constitute 15% of the model's sales, as for the Peugeot 208), in addition to the combustion engines used in the equivalent models at Peugeot and Citroën: a 3 cylinder 1.2 petrol (75hp, 100hp or 130hp) and a 4 cylinder 1.5 diesel (100hp).
- All versions of the new Opel Corsa (except the 3-door versions which are being cancelled ) will be produced at the Spanish site in Zaragoza (while they were previously produced at two different sites: Zaragoza and Eisenach). This decision will lead to the transfer of the Opel Mokka to the French site in Poissy as early as 2020, i.e. when the new generation of the Opel Mokka is launched (today 50% of the Mokka are manufactured in Zaragoza and 50% at the GM site in Korea).
- Inovev expects 300,000 units per year of the new Opel Corsa.

Volkswagen will present the I.D. 3 model in Frankfurt
- Volkswagen's first high-volume 100% electric vehicle based on the new MEB platform will be named I.D. 3, which will be presented at the next Frankfurt Motor Show and will be part of the Volkswagen Golf category (C-segment sedan), whose new generation is also expected to be presented in Frankfurt.
- The manufacturer has announced that the I.D. 3 model will be available from spring 2020 at a price of around 40,000 euros. This new model, which competes with the future Volkswagen Golf, will be manufactured at the Zwickau site (Germany), alongside other electric models of the Volkswagen group. The main markets for I.D. 3 are expected to be Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom and Austria, the European countries that buy the most electric cars.
- With this new model, Volkswagen aims to become the leading manufacturer of electric cars in terms of sales by 2025. The manufacturer plans to sell one million electric vehicles per year between 2025 and 2030, half of which will be sold in China and the other half in Europe and the United States. In total, eighteen industrial sites around the world will gradually contribute to this objective, including thirteen in Europe, one in the United States and four in China. Eight of these production sites will be dedicated entirely to the production of models designed on the SEM platform. These are the Chattanooga plants in the United States, Emden, Hanover, Dresden, Zwickau in Germany, MladaBoleslav in the Czech Republic, Anting and Foshan in China.
- After I.D. 3, Volkswagen will launch I.D. 1 (A segment sedan), I.D. 2 (B segment sedan) and I.D. 4 (D segment sedan).

After the I.D. 3 and I.D. 1, Volkswagen announces the launch of the I.D. 2
- After announcing the upcoming launch of the I.D. 3 (2020) and I.D. 1 (2022), the Volkswagen group announced that its B-segment electric car, i.e. the VW Polo and VW T-Cross segment, could be launched in 2023 on the MEB platform that all future electric models of the Volkswagen group will share.
- This model, which will probably be named I.D. 2, will be the third major part in the Volkswagen group's electric car line-up, enabling it to sell one million electric cars per year between 2025 and 2030, half of them in China and the other half divided between Europe and the United States.
- This new model, which will be in the manufacturer's range between the I.D. 1 (20,000 euros) and the I.D. 3 (40,000 euros) should be manufactured at the German site in Zwickau or at the German site in Emden. Its price could be around 30,000 euros.
- Unlike I.D. 1, the I.D. 2 model should also be manufactured in China, at the Anting or Foshan site, as well as at the Czech site of Mlada Boleslav, which will produce the Skoda and Seat badged versions. These two models are expected to gradually replace the current Skoda Fabia and Seat Ibiza, while being entirely electric.
- The manufacturer has not provided sales targets for these future B-segment models, but given that the Volkswagen branded model will be produced in China, it is likely that the sales volume for all three models will exceed 300,000 units per year.

Inovev forecasts 20,000 new Porsche Cayenne coupes per year

Inovev forecasts 20,000 new Porsche Cayenne coupes per year
- The new Porsche Cayenne coupe, presented at its world premiere at the 2019 Shanghai Motor Show, could have had a different name than Cayenne, just as its competitor the BMW X6 has a different name than the X5 from which it is derived. This is why Inovev treats this new model as a model in its own right, not as a simple version of an existing model.
- The Porsche Cayenne Coupe is aimed at large SUV coupé customers, competing with such vehicles as the BMW X6, Mercedes GLE coupé and Audi Q8, or even the Lamborghini Urus or Maserati Levante.
- It is based on the MLB platform used by the standard Cayenne, but also by the Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q8. The Cayenne coupe is equipped with the most powerful engines of the standard Cayenne’s range, namely the 3-litre V6 and 4-litre V8 petrol engines, which develop powers of 434 hp and 550 hp respectively.
- The Cayenne coupe will be manufactured at the same German site in Leipzig as the standard Cayenne (which is an E-segment SUV) and the Macan (which is a D-segment SUV). Inovev predicts 20,000 units per year of the new Porsche Cayenne coupe, compared to 70,000 units per year for the standard Cayenne.
- No electric version is currently planned for this model, while the manufacturer has announced that the next generation Macan will be available in a 100% electric version that will be built on the technical platform of the Taycan sedan presented at the next Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2019.
