Hybrid cars in Europe over the first 7 months of 2017

- Non-rechargeable hybrid cars sold 228,881 units in the first seven months of 2017 in Europe,  for 2.4% of the European market (29 countries) over the period. Their sales rose 58.4% compared to the first seven months of 2016, notably thanks to the recent Toyota CHR and the new Hyundai-Kia models, the Niro and Ioniq.

- In 2017, non-rechargeable hybrid cars sold three times more than rechargeable hybrids. The offer is more concentrated (mainly Toyota, Lexus and Hyundai-Kia), but vehicles are cheaper than rechargeable hybrids and do not need recharging to increase their range.

- The five main markets in Europe for this type of vehicle are England (36,000 sales over 7 months 2017), France (34,000 sales), Italy (32,000 sales), Spain (27,000 sales) and Germany (25,000 sales). These five markets account for two-thirds of hybrid sales in Europe.

- In the first seven months of 2017, the Toyota CHR is the market leader (47,500 sales), ahead of Toyota Yaris (44,500), Toyota Auris (32,500), Toyota RAV4 (22,000), Kia Niro (17500), Hyundai Ioniq (11,500) and ... Toyota Prius (10,500), which created the hybrid market in 1997. The Toyota Group (Toyota and Lexus) accounts for almost 85% of hybrid sales in Europe. The Hyundai-Kia Group accounts for almost 14% of hybrid sales in Europe.

Plug-in hybrid cars in Europe over the first 7 months of 2017

- Rechargeable hybrid cars sold 73,636 units in the first seven months of 2017 in Europe, for 0.75% of the European market (29 countries) over the period. This is under 1% of the market and we are still very far from the 10%  announced by several manufacturers for 2020.

- Hybrid rechargeable cars suffer from a price that is considered too high compared to non-rechargeable hybrid cars and especially to diesel cars, and from the insufficient number of charging stations, essential for this type of vehicle, in the various European countries.

- To a lesser extent, the limited number of available models can also negatively impact sales of these vehicles. However, it should be noted that the number of plug-in hybrid models is constantly increasing and will increase further from 2019, with the introduction of over thirty totally new models by 2025 from the Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW groups alone.

- In the first seven months of 2017, the Mitsubishi Outlander was the market leader (10,708 sales) ahead of the Mercedes GLC (6,917), VW Passat (6,864), BMW Active Tourer (6,055), BMW 3 Series (5,614) and Audi A3 (4,932). German manufacturers represent the vast majority of plug-in hybrid models on the European market.

Ranking of 100% electric cars in Europe over the first 7 months of 2017

- In the first seven months of 2017, 79,610 units of electric cars were sold in Europe, which is 0.8% of the European market (29 countries) over the period. This is below 1% of the market, and still a far cry from the 10% announced by several manufacturers for 2020.

- The 100% electric car’s autonomy is considered too low by a majority of potential customers (despite the fact that the Citroën 2CV did not exceed 200 km of real autonomy in the 60's or 70's). The price is still considered too high and the number of charging stations in Europe inadequate.

- To a lesser extent, the limited number of available models can also negatively impact sales of these vehicles. However, it is observed that the number of 100% electric models will greatly increase as of 2019, with the introduction of over thirty totally new electric models by 2025 from the Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW groups alone. New regulations and new taxes on internal combustion engines will also encourage the acquisition of such vehicles.

- In the first seven months of 2017, the Renault Zoé was the market leader (18,739 sales), in front of the Nissan Leaf (12,189), BMW i3 (11,501), Tesla Model S (7,269), Tesla Model X (6,021) and VW e-Golf (4,159).

Rolls-Royce unveils the eighth generation of the Phantom

- The British Rolls-Royce range has always featured two distinct series, the Phantom limousine series at the top of the range, and a series of less expensive and less imposing sedans (formerly the Silver Cloud, Silver Shadow or Silver Spirit and currently the Ghost). This month, the luxury car manufacturer unveiled the eighth generation of the Phantom limousine, the first generation of which dates from 1925 and the seventh from  2003.

- The new Phantom, designed by German BMW (owner of the Rolls-Royce brand since 1998), retains the timeless silhouette of the Phantom launched in 2003. The new model retains the original BMW 6.75-liter V12 engine. In terms of price, the Phantom remains one of the most expensive cars in the world, at more than 400,000 euros.

- The new model will be manufactured at the Goodwood UK site, like all Rolls-Royce since 2003, when the historic site of Crewe was taken over by the Bentley brand, formerly associated with Rolls-Royce and acquired by the Volkswagen Group in 1998.

- Because of its price, the Phantom will always have lower volumes (a few hundred units per year) than the Ghost launched in 2010. Rolls-Royce’s biggest 2018 novelty will be the Cullinan SUV, which will be the first SUV of the brand. It will compete directly with the Bentley Bentayga SUV launched in 2016 by the Volkswagen group.
