Fiat replaces Punto… in South America
- 说明
Fiat replaces Punto… in South America
- Fiat moved gradually from first place to second place in Brazil behind Chevrolet. One of the reasons for this decline is undoubtedly a questionable range positioning in recent years. Indeed, while in 2017, the Brazilian market is composed of 23% of A segment cars, 56% B segment cars, 19% C segment cars and 2% D / E / F segment cars , Fiat sells 31% of segment A cars and 69% segment B cars, eliminating the 21% of the market made up of cars of segments C, D, E, F.
- Concerning body types , while the Brazilian market is composed of 67% sedans, 18% SUVs and 14% pick-ups in 2017, Fiat sales are 57% sedans and 37% pick-ups, eliminating the SUV’s 18% of the market.
- Despite the lack of products in the segment of SUVs and segment C sedans, Fiat has decided to replace the old Punto by the Argo, while Uno and Palio , the other B segment cars made 26% of Fiat sales in the first five months of 2017. The Argo is based on the Fiat 500L, 500X, Renegade and Tipo platforms sold in Europe. But the Argo will not be sold in Europe. It will be reserved only for markets in South America.
- The engines of the Argo are the following: 1.0 gasoline / 77hp; 1.3 gasoline / 109hp; 1.8 gasoline /139hp; This 4 meter long sedan will be, as all Fiat cars produced in Brazil, manufactured on the Betim site.
- While the Brazilian market is growing over the first five months of 2017, Fiat sales dropped 9%.The success of this model is therefore crucial for the Italian manufacturer.

- The current X-Trail / Rogue generation was launched in 2014 on the same platform as the Nissan Qashqai launched the same year. It will be restyled in 2017 before being replaced in 2020.

Peugeot 508 to be produced in Mulhouse
- 说明
Peugeot 508 to be produced in Mulhouse
- The next generation of the Peugeot 508 ( to be launched at the end of 2018) will no longer be produced in Rennes, western France, but in Mulhouse, in the east of France. The PSA group is completely revising its production strategy in Europe by:
1. Concentrating the B segment sedans on their Tnava site (Slovakia) (Citroën C3, Peugeot 208).
2. Dedicating their Mulhouse site (France) to DS and D segment sedans (Citroën C5, Peugeot 508, DS4, DS6, DS7) which requires:
a) Transfer the future Citroën C4 from Mulhouse to Villaverde (Spain).
b) Transfer the future 2008 Peugeot from Mulhouse to Vigo (Spain).
3. Dedicating the site of Rennes (France) to D segment SUV (Citroën C5 Aircross, Peugeot 5008, future 7-seater Opel).
4. Concentrating the low-priced cars (Citroën C-Elysée, Peugeot 301) on the Moroccan site of Kenitra (Morocco), which will release
capacities on the Spanish site of Vigo which will soon produce the Peugeot 2008.
- The Sochaux (France) site will continue to manufacture the Peugeot 308, as well as the SUV Peugeot 3008 and Opel Grandland, while the DS5
should disappear with the arrival of the DS6.
- The Valenciennes (France) site will continue to manufacture Citroën Jumpy, Peugeot Expert and Toyota ProAce light commercial vehicles.
- The site of Poissy (France) should manufacture the future DS3 and possibly another not yet identified model.

- Large SUVs have gradually taken a major share in the E segment, due to the strong demand for this type of model, particularly in the North American market.
- The German E segment sedans (BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class, Audi A6) remain in the top ten, ahead of all the other sedans in the same segment, whether American, Japanese, English or Swedish.
- The global market for E-segment vehicles is 9.5 million units in 2016, up from 9.4 million in 2015, an increase of only 1%, in a global market up 4.7%.
