The FCA 2020-2023 product plan for Europe
- The current collapse of sales of the Alfa-Roméo and Lancia brands has not prevented the management of the Fiat-Chrysler group from launching a new 2020-2023 product plan after Sergio Marchionne's plan presented before the summer.
- As far as the Lancia brand is concerned, its definitive abolition will take effect in 2020. As far as Alfa-Romeo is concerned, only the compact Tonale SUV (C segment) is planned for Industrialization in 2021. The two new GTV and 8C sports cars project is still hypothetical.
- It is therefore on the side of the Fiat brand that we can expect new vehicle launches between 2020 and 2023, because this brand, which is more than a hundred years old, is not in dazzling shape either.
- The only new feature introduced in 2019 was the introduction of the new 3-cylinder 1.0 l (120 hp) and 4-cylinder 1.3 l (150 hp) Euro6 compliant Turbo engines mounted on the Fiat 500X and Jeep Renegade. The 4-cylinder will serve as the basis for the future hybrid plug-ins to be launched in 2020 on the Fiat 500X and Jeep Renegade, as well as on the Jeep Compass, which will then be assembled in Italy. The real innovations will appear in 2020 and 2021.
- In 2020, the new generations of the Fiat 500 and Doblo will be launched. In 2021, the new generations of the Fiat Panda and Ducato will be launched. The 500X could be renewed in the same year. In 2022, it will be Jeep Renegade's turn. Finally, in 2023, the new generation of the Fiat Tipo, (which Sergio Marchionne had not wanted), will be launched.

GM 2020-2023 Product Plan for North America

GM 2020-2023 Product Plan for North America
- The GM group, which became the world's fourth largest automaker after remaining the world leader for several decades until 2004, plans to launch around 20 new models during the 2020-2023 period.
- Already, 2019 was a year of innovation, with the Cadillac CT4 and CT5 sedans, the Chevrolet Corvette coupe and the Cadillac XT4 and XT6 SUVs. The year 2019 was therefore above all a year favouring Cadillac, the group's luxury brand. In terms of volumes, one should therefore not expect 2019 to generate significant quantities, but GM has planned to launch new products with higher sales volumes from 2020 onwards.
- The Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Equinox and Traverse SUVs, GMC Terrain as well as the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks will be restyled next year, which could enable the Silverado to gain market share from the Dodge Ram. GM has also planned the 2020 renewal of the Buick Encore and Cadillac Escalade, which have consistently achieved respectable sales volumes. In 2021, GM plans to renew the Buick Envision and Cadillac XT5 SUVs, as well as launch an SUV variant of the electric Chevrolet Bolt. The new Buick Envision could be repatriated to the United States (it is currently imported from China). In 2022 and 2023, GM will renew the Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Acadia and GMC Terrain SUVs as well as the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks. It is surprising that GM is abandoning the sedan category (only the Malibu will benefit from a restyling in 2022) when this category still represents 30% of the US market.

The FCA 2020-2023 product plan for North America
- For the North American markets, the Fiat-Chrysler group favours the Jeep brand, which has become the most widely used brand of the Italian-American manufacturer since last year.
- The Jeep SUV brand will replace the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee in 2021 and the Renegade in 2022. This latter should still be made in Italy.
- Two models will be added to the already well-supplied Jeep range. These are the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, which should appear in 2021. These two models will be at the top of the Jeep range, aiming to compete with the Range Rover, Mercedes GLS and BMW X7 i.
- At Chrysler, we note that the 300 sedan will not be replaced, which means that this once prestigious brand will focus solely on the Voyager and Pacifica minivans. Voyager (simplified version of the Pacifica) will attempt to take over the Dodge Caravan clientele, which should be the last minivan sold under the Dodge brand.
- Unlike the Chrysler 300, it looks like Dodge is planning to replace its Charger sedan and Challenger coupe in 2023. But there are no 100% electric versions on the horizon.
- It should be noted that the Ram pickup truck should be renewed in 2022, two years after the restyling of its competitors, the Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Silverado.

Ford 2020-2023 Product Plan for North America

Ford 2020-2023 Product Plan for North America
- Ford's 2020-2023 product plan (currently the world's sixth largest automaker, closely followed by Honda Group) reveals that the automaker wants to eliminate all its sedans in the North American market since no replacement is planned in this category by 2023.
- Ford had already recently announced that it wanted to focus on the pick-up and SUV category, which it believes are more profitable, and the new product plan confirms that the Fiesta, Focus, Fusion and Taurus will not be replaced and that they will be discontinued in the coming months. Only the Mustang will survive in the passenger car category, as it will have a successor in 2022. Ford could have derived a sedan version, as it had done in the past for the Cougar, because this model with its mythical name would have attracted a new clientele.
- Ford is turning an important page in its history as sedans have been at the heart of the manufacturer's strategy. Even Lincoln sedans are facing a bleak future with no replacement planned by 2023.
- The manufacturer will focus all its efforts on restyling and replacing its SUVs and pick-ups. We will even see new SUVs expanding the range, such as the Bronco or the 100% electric Mach E. Ford will also introduce hybrid power on its models sold in the USA and a 100% electric version of the F150 will be available in two years.
- Note the transfer of the Transit Connect, when it will be replaced in 2021, from Europe to North America.

The Jaguar Land-Rover 2020-2023 product plan

The Jaguar Land-Rover 2020-2023 product plan
- The 2020-2023 product plan of Jaguar Land Rover (a British subsidiary of the Indian group Tata Motors) has been unveiled and presents no major surprises, as the current range will be renewed, with two additional models: a large 100% electric XJ sedan launched in 2021 and a large J-Pace SUV launched in 2022 which will be at the top of the Jaguar range. This scenario will prevail if the Jaguar Land Rover division remains in the hands of the Indian group Tata Motors.
- In 2020, the Jaguar XE and XF sedans (whose distribution remains well below the manufacturer's forecasts) will be restyled, as well as the Jaguar F-Pace SUV.
- While Discovery Sport was restyled in 2019, Discovery will also be restyled in 2020, while the Defender 2 (under its two wheelbase versions) will start sales at the same time.
- In 2021, the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport should be renewed and more importantly they will be available in a 100% electric version, which will be equipped with the engine of the new XJ presented the same year.
- The Range Evoque will also benefit from this 100% electric engine in the same year, in a less powerful version. The Range Velar, as well as the Discovery, Discovery Sport and Defender will still be without electric power.
- Also in 2021, the Jaguar E-Pace SUV should be restyled, and in 2022 it will be the turn of the I-Pace to benefit from a restyling. Finally, the same year, the Jaguar J-Pace will crown the brand's SUV range.
