In Europe, the A segment might switch to Battery Electric Vehicles
- Toyota has announced that the next generation of the Aygo(A segment/sedan) scheduled for 2021 will shift from thermal to Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV).
- At the same time, Renault has announced that the future generation of the Twingo (A segment/sedan) planned for 2021 will also switch from thermal to BEV, using the Smart EQ Forfourplatform. which has been on the market since June 2017. We know that the Smart Forfour will be phased out in Europe in 2021, following the agreement between Daimler and Geely, which leaves the market open to Twingo. Since last September, the Smart range has only consisted of 100% electric versions. The thermal versions are no longer produced and their sales are only made using stocks. In addition, Renault plans to market the electric K-ZE in Europe under the Dacia brand from 2021.
- The PSA group plans to replace its Peugeot 108 and Citroën C1 A segment with small sedans or even small SUVs in BEV versions. Thus, a possible 1008 could succeed the 108.
- As for the Volkswagen group, we know that its small sedans of segment A (VW Up, Seat Mii, Skoda Citigo) are all recently switched to electric, and it will be the same for the new ID 1 (and rebranded versions of Seat and Skoda) planned for the beginning of the years 2020.
- The whole A segment thus switches to electric, which is logical since these models are mainly used in cities.
