European sales 2014 first half Premium large car segment

http://left-lane.com/european-sales-2014-h1-premium-large-car-segment/

Sales of premium large cars are up 6% in the first six months of 2014, and we have a neck-to-neck race for the victory in the segment: While sales of the leading BMW 5-series remain flat, the chasing Mercedes-Benz E-Class has gained 10% to bring it within 300 units of the 5-series. In fact, the E-Class has outsold its rival every month since March, with the exception of June, when the 5-series beat it by a single unit: 9.117 vs 9.116.
Mercedes-Benz has called the update of its E-Class last year its most expensive midcycle facelift of any model ever, and it seems to be paying off. If the E manages to take over the segment crown by the end of this year, it will be the first time to do so since 2010 and only the third time in the last ten years, while the 5-series had never beat its main rival before 2005.
The Audi A6 remains almost flat as well, firmly in third place but at a distance of already more than 10.000 units behind its two rivals, which the previous generation managed to beat three years in a row, from 2005 to 2007. The current generation has only managed a single second place, in 2012, by a margin of just 700 sales.



Behind the traditional top-3, the Volvo V70 is making an impressive run for such an old design, which has received only minor exterior updates last year. Still, an increase of 18% leaves its far off the sales figures the previous model managed in the early 2000’s, when it sold between 70.000 and 90.000 units annually.
The Jaguar XF remains flat in fifth place, down just 2% on its record year of 2013. Considering the XF’s had a better second quarter than last year, it may set a new annual sales record for the second year running.
The Tesla Model S has slowed down a bit, selling about 2.400 of its full-electric sports sedans in the second quarter, while it racked up 3.000 sales of it in the first quarter. This has enabled the Mercedes-Benz CLS to reclaim the sixth position, despite sales down 30% on last year.
The Maserati Ghibli continues its impressive performance, improving on its already brilliant first quarter and selling more than 400 monthly units for the first time in June. The Italian sports sedan is firmly in tenth place and has no intentions to give up that position.

European sales 2014 first half Small MPV segment

The small MPV segment’s growth of 10% in the first quarter has slowed down slightly in the second quarter, as first half 2014 sales are still up an impressive 8%. And the difference between success and failure has grown, as only two models show significant gains, while all other models either remain virtually flat or lose sales.

The Ford B-Max held on to its lead in the first half of 2013, until the Fiat 500L took over and never looked back. In the second quarter of 2014, the 500L even outsold the B-Max by a 2-to-1 ratio. Then the new generation Nissan Note outsold the little Ford for the first time last December and has done so every month since, to jump into the segment’s second place, from sixth last year. The B-Max is now under threat to lose out of the podium by the Opel/Vauxhall Meriva, with less than 50 units between them after the Meriva outsold the Romanian-built Ford in each of the last 3 months.

The Meriva has passed the Citroën C3 Picasso in the second quarter as well, but the rest of the segment remains relatively stable ranking-wise. All other models are down at least 12% with the only exception of the Skoda Roomster, down just 1% and therefore closing in on the Kia Venga.



As manufacturers are focusing their development efforts to the even faster growing small crossover segment, not much news is expected for the rest of the year. All models outside the top-9 are already out of showrooms or will be soon. The Ford Fusion and Renault Modus have been replaced by crossovers: respectively the Ecosport and Captur, while the Lancia Musa and Subaru Trezia won’t get a replacement. Amazingly, Toyota has updated the Verso-S slightly this year, even though the model’s sales would justify either axing the model or replacing it by something more competitive.

European sales 2014 first half Large MPV segment

http://left-lane.com/european-sales-2014-h1-large-mpv-segment/

The large MPV segment in Europe has returned from its artificially high growth rate of 35% in the first quarter of 2014, which was due to sell-out pricing of the outgoing models of the Ford S-Max and Galaxy. In the second quarter, large MPV sales were down almost 7%, leading to a first half increase of 9%.
The S-Max enjoyed only two quarters in the lead of the segment, the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, until the Volkswagen Sharan struck back in the second quarter of this year, its 6% increase was enough to give it the edge over the S-Max in the first half.
Similarly, the Sharan’s sibling Seat Alhambra was outsold by the Galaxy in the fourth quarter of last year and had that model breathing down its neck in the first quarter of this year. In the second quarter, the Alhambra took some distance, as Ford’s sell-out pricing was apparently reduced.



Production of the two Fords will continue at full pace in the factory in Belgium until the end of 2014, when production of the next generations will start in Spain. It will be interesting to see if they can make another last comeback in one or both of the next quarters or if the Sharan can enjoy a second year in a row as the segment leader. With the new generation Fords arriving next year, they are likely the S-Max is likely to take back the crown in 2015.
Behind these four, which combined take about 86% of the segment, the Renault Espace is desperately awaiting its successor which is supposed to look like the Initiale Paris concept model. Leaving the segment to replace the inventor of the segment in Europe by a crossover model makes perfect sense considering the shrinking size of the segment and the fact that the Espace hasn’t topped the charts since 2006, but it may still leave some die-hard fans sad to lose such an iconic name.



Amazingly, the rumors that Lancia would be withdrawn from all markets outside of its home country Italy hasn’t at all hurt sales of the Chrysler-based Voyager, which has enjoyed an increase of over 26% in the second quarter, helping it to a first half sales increase of 13%, which is faster than the segment as a whole.

European sales 2014-Q1 Premium Compact segment

http://left-lane.com/european-sales-2014-q1-premium-compact-segment/

The European compact premium segment is up a shy 3% in the first half of 2014, but this is all thanks to new entrants and increased sales of the segment leader, Audi A3. Helped by the addition of the “Limousine” sedan version, the A3 has added almost a third to its sales of last year, while its three closest rivals all lose volume in double digits. As a result, it has fortified its leadership, last year the A3 had the BMW 1-series breathing down its neck after six months, but this year they are separated by more than 35.000 sales.
The newly released BMW 2-series isn’t yet helping the brand from Munich, topping out at 1.726 sales in June, less than a tenth of June’s A3 sales. Perhaps the arrival of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class rival 2-series Active Tourer can help BMW catch up with Audi in this segment.
It will be hard to catch up with Mercedes-Benz, which also has 3 body styles available, each with their own nameplate, and is the combined volume leader of the segment with close to 129.000 sales, down from almost 137.000 last year, as the CLA can’t make up for losses by the A-Class and B-Class.
The Volvo V40 remains surprisingly stable and is set to keep it that way thanks to excellent performances in its home market of Sweden and in The Netherlands, where it receives government subsidies for its fuel efficient diesel engines, even the 140kW (190hp) D4 version.



The BMW i3 EV with the optional range extender is selling at the same pace as its hybrid competitor Lexus CT and needs just a little push in the back to become the second EV to reach the 10.000 annual sales level, after the Nissan Leaf.

	Segment total	381.112	371.169	3%

After losing the segment crown to the Audi A1 for the first time in 2013, the Mini has fallen further behind this year as the British brand awaits the third generation Mini hatchback, its core model. As both other models in the segment remain virtually flat, the Mini by itself leads the premium small car segment into the red.
European deliveries of this new generation started in June and straight out of the box the Mini reclaimed its leadership, outselling the A1 by a 1000 units. Whether that will be enough to get back onto the segment’s top spot over the full year will remain unclear for now, but the Mini will undoubtedly beat the little Audi next year.
After sinking almost 30% from 2012 to 2013, the Alfa Romeo MiTo seems to have bottomed out for now, although the Fiat Punto-based model will be phased out at the end of its lifecycle in 2016.
For comparison, the near-premium Citroën DS3 racked up 30.448 sales in the period, down 18% on last year. DS3 sales are included in the Subcompact segment sales.

Lancia

Lancia sales and market share in Europe have declined steadily from 2009 through 2013, losing 41% of its volume in five years time.

Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has decided that it doesn’t make financial sense to develop all-new vehicles for Lancia with these volumes, so the slow selling Thesis was replaced by the 300C-based Thema in 2011, the Flavia cabriolet was introduced in 2012, based on the 200 convertible, and to replace the also slow-selling Phedra, they didn’t even bother to change the name of the Voyager.

As a result, Chrysler could be pulled out of the European market in 2011, with the exception of the United Kingdom and Ireland, where it was decided to keep the American brand instead of the Italian brand, which hadn’t been sold in the UK since 1993 because of a reputation for bad quality. With this reputation in mind, Chrysler was expected to have a better shot at the UK and Irish markets, even if that meant rebadging the Ypsilon minicar and the Delta compact hatchback as Chryslers.

Unfortunately, this hasn’t helped sales of the two brands combined. Sales of the Ypsilon have remained relatively stable and sales of the 300C/Thema have actually increased every year since 2011, but the Delta is desperately longing for replacement and the Voyager competes in the fastest shrinking segment of the continent.

The brand is heavily dependent on the Ypsilon, which makes up over three quarters of total sales, and it is also heavily dependent on its home market, Italy, selling almost 80% of its cars in this country only.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Fiat has decided to withdraw Lancia from all export markets, and killing all products except the Ypsilon in its home market Italy. This way, Alfa Romeo will finally get the much-needed attention to grow. Sales of the Delta will end in 2014 and the three rebadged American cars will be discontinued in 2015. Meanwhile, the Ypsilon will be updated in 2015 for the Italian market, as it makes sense to continue sales of a model that has consistently been a top-5 seller in the country.

Lancia-Chrysler

Sales an market share of Lancia and Chrysler in Europe combined have decreased since the brands were merged in 2009, losing almost 45% of their volume in five years time.

This merger was a result of the take-over of Chrysler by Fiat. Lancia was too small to survive on its own, and it was too expensive to develop a full line of cars for the brand that sells 80% of its cars in a single market: Italy. And of those sales, three quarters are the Ypsilon minicar, so sales of the other Lancia models were marginal. Fiat-Chrysler then decided to replace the aging Lancia Phedra and Thesis with rebadged versions of the Chrysler Voyager and 300C. This would enable them to withdraw Chrysler from the European market, and combining the two brands into one would save a lot of money on marketing and distribution.

However, in the UK, Lancia had not been sold since 1993 because of a reputation for bad quality. With this reputation in mind, Chrysler was expected to have a better shot at the UK and Irish markets, even if that meant rebadging the Lancia Ypsilon minicar and the Delta compact hatchback as Chryslers.
It hasn’t helped much, as the American cars have less refinement than customers are used to and expected from Lancia, and it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Fiat has decided to withdraw Lancia from all export markets, and killing all products except the Ypsilon in its home market Italy. This way, Alfa Romeo will finally get the much-needed attention to grow.

Sales of the Delta will end in 2014 and the Flavia, Thema and Voyager will be discontinued in 2015. Meanwhile, the Ypsilon will be updated that same year for the Italian market, as it has consistently been a top-5 seller in the country, a small success they would like to continue.
