Global car production from a Chinese perspective
- While in the ranking of the world's leading automakers from a Western perspective – that is, integrating Western vehicles produced under license by Chinese manufacturers into the production of Western manufacturers – the leading Chinese manufacturer appears in twelfth place (this is Geely, which does not produce foreign vehicles under license), ahead of Changan (13th) and Great Wall (14th).
- In the ranking from the Chinese point of view – which Inovev makes every year – the first Chinese manufacturer is in sixth position, it is SAIC which produces many models of the Volkswagen and GM groups under license. SAIC produced 5.29 million vehicles of all brands, trailing the Volkswagen group, from which the vehicles produced by SAIC are removed here. The second Chinese manufacturer is FAW (7th overall, with 3.94 million units) which produces models from the Volkswagen and Toyota groups. Dongfeng (DFM) is the third Chinese manufacturer (10th overall, with 3.28 million units) which produces Nissan, Kia, Honda, Peugeot, Citroën… and Dacia Spring.
- The general ranking is slightly different, because the Volkswagen group is 5th and the GM group is 8th (instead of 2nd and 6th respectively) these two manufacturers being those who produce the most in joint venture in China. The main leaders remain Toyota (1st global manufacturer), Renault-Nissan (2nd), Hyundai-Kia (3rd) and Stellantis (4th).

Inovev plans 10,000 units of the new Maserati Grecale SUV

Inovev plans 10,000 units of the new Maserati Grecale SUV
- The Maserati brand, now integrated into the Stellantis group, within which it represents the most luxurious brand, has unveiled its new D-segment SUV which sits in the manufacturer's range below the E-segment Levante SUV. the Levante SUV shares its platform with the Ghibli sedan, the new Grecale SUV shares its platform (known as Giorgio) with that of the Alfa-Roméo Stelvio SUV and the Alfa-Roméo Giulia sedan which belong to segment D. The Maserati Grecale SUV is therefore today the only model of the brand to be part of the D segment and therefore represents the "entry level" model of the brand. This model theoretically competes with D-segment Premium SUVs such as the Audi Q5, BMW X3/X4, Mercedes GLC, Porsche Macan and Volvo XC60, but with its marked sporty character and elite prices, the Maserati Grecale is above all opposed at the Porsche Macan.
- 4.85m long, 1.98m wide and 1.67m high, the Maserati Grecale features a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine developing 325hp, with a 48-volt battery that places it in the category of MHEV (mild hybrid). A more powerful engine is available, it is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 developing 523 hp. A 100% electric version is scheduled for 2023.
- The Grecale SUV will be produced at the Italian Cassino site, alongside the Alfa-Romeo Giulia and Stelvio, at the rate of 10,000 units per year according to Inovev. Last year, the Giulia and Stelvio were produced at 39,889 units respectively, including 13,887 Giulia and 26,002 Stelvio. Prices for the Grecale should be between 75,000 and 115,000 euros depending on the version.

Nissan announces that it wants a 100% electrified range in Europe in 2030

Nissan announces that it wants a 100% electrified range in Europe in 2030
- The Japanese manufacturer Nissan, an ally of Renault and Mitsubishi in the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi group (3rd largest manufacturer in the world), is emerging from several years of lethargy in which it has lost a lot of influence at the global level, its sales having fallen from 5.8 million vehicles in 2017 to 5.2 million in 2019 and 4.1 million in 2021. This decline is partly explained by a range that is poorly adapted to current demand. Nissan has just announced its strategy in terms of electrification of its vehicles, mainly in Europe ("Ambition 2030"), because the situation in Japan and China (two of its biggest markets) has not yet been defined with precision.
- In Europe, Nissan plans a 100% electrified model range in 2030, i.e. both non-plug-in hybrids (HEV-mild and HEV-full), plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and 100% electric (BEV). Five new models will be launched in 2022: the Ariya (D-segment 100% electric SUV), the Juke E-Tech (B-segment hybrid SUV), the Qashqai e-Power (C-segment hybrid SUV), the new generation the X-Trail (D-segment hybrid SUV) and the Townstar (100% electric light utility vehicle) derived from the Renault Kangoo.
- In this program, we observe that the Nissan Leaf sedan (of which nearly 600,000 copies have been sold worldwide since its launch in 2010) will not be replaced as such, because the manufacturer, which favors SUVs, thinks that the Ariya will be able to take over the Leaf's clientele, which is a risky calculation. On the other hand, the launch of a 100% electric Micra sedan in 2024 is indeed on the agenda. Nissan aims to regain a sales volume of at least 300,000 sales in Europe by 2030.

Inovev plans 100,000 units per year of the new Mazda CX60 SUV

Inovev plans 100,000 units per year of the new Mazda CX60 SUV
- The Japanese Mazda, one of the last major manufacturers still independent, intends to gradually move from the status of generalist manufacturer to specialist (or Premium) manufacturer, a status which according to him offers greater potential for sales and profit (the models being sold more expensive ). Proof of this gradual entry into Premium is the launch of the CX60 SUV, which is the brand's largest SUV (D segment), also equipped with a rechargeable hybrid engine (PHEV). This is also the first model of the brand equipped with this type of engine. By its dimensions and its price, the CX60 is clearly positioned in front of the Audi Q5, BMW X3, Mercedes GLC and Volvo XC60. It is priced from 53,000 to 60,000 euros depending on the version.
- 4.75 m long, the CX60 exceeds the Mazda CX5 by 20 centimeters. It will be produced in Hofu (Japan), alongside the brand's other SUVs, namely the CX30, CX5, CX8, CX9, as well as the new CX50 which targets the Jeep brand. But unlike the latter, which will only be marketed in North America, the CX60 will be sold on all continents.
- Its engine is a 2.5-liter 192 hp petrol engine supplemented by a 136 hp electric motor, which represents a total power of 328 hp. The model is of course four-wheel drive.
- In 2021, the Mazda CX3, CX30, CX5, CX8 and CX9 were produced respectively at 48,000 units, 69,000 units, 306,000 units, 22,000 units and 56,000 units, making a total of 500,000 SUVs produced by the manufacturer last year, out of a total of 740,000 Mazda vehicles produced in Japan in 2021. Inovev expects 100,000 units per year of the new CX60.

Hyundai Announces 2030 Lineup Electrification Strategy

Hyundai Announces 2030 Lineup Electrification Strategy
- Korean automaker Hyundai has announced its global strategy for electrifying its lineup. It will launch 17 new 100% electric models by 2030 (11 under the Hyundai brand and 6 under the Genesis brand) and expects to be able to sell 560,000 100% electric vehicles in 2025 then 1,870,000 100% electric vehicles in 2030, which according to him, would correspond to 7% of the world electricity market at this time.
- This means that Hyundai expects 27 million BEVs of all brands in 2030 worldwide, mainly in China, Europe, North America and South Korea. The 100% electric models launched soon will be the Ioniq 6 (2022) and Ioniq 7 (2023) as well as two Genesis brand models. The automaker hasn't specified the number of hybrid vehicles (HEV and PHEV) it expects to sell in 2030, but Inovev estimates that quantity (compared to Kia's targets) at around 1,500,000 units.
- In 2021, Hyundai produced 3.69 million vehicles worldwide and expects to sell 4.32 million in 2022, 17% more than the previous year, despite the semiconductor crisis and the consequences of the war in Ukraine, which is a very ambitious goal.
- Assuming that Hyundai is considering a 30% proportion of BEVs in its sales in 2030, as for Kia, it is a total of 5.61 million vehicles, all engines combined, that the manufacturer plans to sell worldwide in 2030, which corresponds to a growth of 30% compared to 2022. As an indication, Kia's forecast sales growth between 2022 and 2030 is 27%, a very similar figure.
