China is establishing a quota of electrified vehicles for OEMs producing in the country
- China has confirmed that car manufacturers will have a mandatory quota for production and sales of alternative energy vehicles (mainly hybrid and electric) starting in 2019, one year later than originally planned. This quota project was unveiled by the Chinese government in June 2017, and was to be implemented from 2018.
- Although postponed by one year, the principle of these quotas remains unchanged. Each alternative-energy vehicle produced and sold in China will represent a number of credits (higher for electric models than for hybrid models) and each manufacturer will have to accumulate 10% of credits on total sales in 2019, then 12% in 2020 and so on.
- OEMs who do not meet these quotas will have to buy excess credits from other manufacturers or pay fines. Clearly, this policy requires manufacturers in China to produce more and more hybrid and electric vehicles (nearly 10% of their sales in 2019, 12% in 2020, 20% in 2025 and 30% in 2030).
- High-volume manufacturers, such as Volkswagen and GM, will be particularly vulnerable to these new quotas,, as they will have to produce nearly 400,000 hybrid or electric vehicles by 2020 and three times more by 2030.
- Initially, the carmakers should have had an 8% quota on their sales in 2018, but the car industry has managed to postpone the quota application date by one year.

- At Kia, the Sportage will not be renewed until 2022, but the emphasis will be on renewing the Soul (2018) and Sorento (2020). The Telluride, which is expected to feature the brand's SUV range, will be launched in 2019. It is expected to take over the line of the concept of the same name presented at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2016. The Sedona MPV (Carnival in some markets) will be renewed in 2021. The Kia Forte (Cerato, K3, Cee'd in some markets) will be the only sedan of the brand to be renewed during this period (2019). The current generation is from 2012.

Inovev expects sales volumes of 50,000 units per year for the Kia Stinger
- Kia has created a more upmarket model, the Stinger sedan, from the Optima sedan taking the general line, and practically the same dimensions of the Optima (length: 4.83m, width: 1.87m, height: 1.40m).
- The difference with the Optima is mainly under the hood, with a range of high performance engines available.
- It is possible to have a 4 cylinders 2.0 turbo 255hp petrol engine, a V6 3.3 biturbo 370hp petrol engine, or a 4 cylinders 2.2 200hp diesel engine, which is already mounted on the Sorento.
- No Kia brand model to date has displayed such high power, the Optima offering only engines with a power between 140hp and 245hp.
- With the Stinger, Kia targets the Audi A7, Mercedes CLS, Jaguar XF, Volkswagen Arteon, ie the most dynamic models of the E segment (Optima is D segment).
- The Stinger will be marketed mainly in South Korea, the United States and Europe.
- Inovev expects a volume of sales of 50,000 units per year from the Stinger, all produced in South Korea. Even though the production volume of the Kia brand has stagnated globally for two years, the manufacturer does not aim for volumes for this model but rather the desirable image that the Stinger could convey.

Ranking of C-segment SUVs in Europe over the first 8 months of 2017
- 说明
Ranking of C-segment SUVs in Europe over the first 8 months of 2017
- SUVs account for 28.5% of the overall European car market in 2017 (cumulative first 8 months), and C segment SUVs account for 12.5% of the European market, ie 47% of the SUV market.
- Last year, the SUV market accounted for 25.1% of the European market, and segment C SUVs accounted for 11.2% of the European market, or 45% of the SUV market.
- These observations show, on the one hand, that the growth in SUV sales on the European market is still increasing, and on the other hand that C Segment SUVs are increasing the most (+ 24.5% increase), notably thanks to the very strong sales of the Peugeot 3008, Toyota CHR and Seat Ateca.
- In view of the latest available figures, segment C SUVs are likely to account for half of SUV sales in Europe after the market introduction of the new Skoda Karoq, Opel Grandland, BMW X2, Volvo XC40 and Mitsubishi Eclipse, among others.
- In the first eight months of 2017, the leaders of the segment C SUVs in Europe are Nissan Qashqai (156,000 sales), VW Tiguan (147,000), Peugeot 3008 (104,000) and Ford Kuga (95,000). Next are the Korean SUVs Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage, ahead of the Dacia Duster, and Premium models, such as the BMW X1, Audi Q3 and Mercedes GLA.
