[email protected] No passage to India? I ndia was expected to become the new China and provide European automakers such as Volkswagen Group with high growth rates and fat profits. That hasn’t happened so far. India’s slumping sales and its unpredictable government regulations have hurt automakers. Growth also has been slowed by automakers’ failed local partnerships and bad product decisions. The result? The No. 1 European brand in India, Renault, ranks ninth overall with a mere 2 percent market share. Our cover story looks at what went wrong and what European automakers are doing to turn things around in the high-potential market (Page 6). Infiniti Chairman Andy Palmer is working to reposition the brand as a design- and technology-driven alternative to Germany’s premium automakers. In an interview he explained what Infiniti is doing to capture the attention of young, affluent customers who don’t want to drive the same brands as their fathers (Page 10). Citroen’s new CEO, Linda Jackson, has a tough task ahead. She has to keep growing sales in the tough European mainstream market without help from Citroen’s former subbrand, DS, which is being transformed into a stand-alone marque. Jackson shares her strategy for Citroen’s future (Page 11). Jaguar Land Rover’s head of product development, Wolfgang Ziebart, is leading the rapid expansion of the British luxury Thanks to the success of the Duster crossover built in Chennai (shown), Renault was the top-selling European brand in India in the first half. brands. The former BMW executive tells us why he believes JLR has the technical and financial resources to make life tougher on Germany’s dominant premium brands (Page 12). Supercar sales are expected to surge again following some lean years caused by Europe’s prolonged recession. Renewed consumer confidence and fresh models are driving the rebound. See which supercars are poised to be the biggest winners (Page 14). Volkswagen Group has Europe’s largest network of company-owned dealerships, but auto retailing is not something the company wants to make a core part of its business. The same is true at PSA/ Peugeot-Citroen and Daimler. We ex- plain why (Page 20). We also provide our annual ranking of Europe’s 50 biggest independent dealer groups (Page 21). Our Latest Launches section has reviews of the feature-laden, 126,000euro Mercedes-Benz S-class premium coupe (Page 16) and, at the other end of the price spectrum, the 10,000-euro Citroen C1 minicar (Page 18). Enjoy the issue! Luca Ciferri, Editor AUTO MOTIV Segment shake-up T he European market underwent a big shake-up in the first half as there was a change at the top of nine of the 24 segments monitored by Automotive News Europe. First-half sales of the Renault Captur small crossover quadrupled, helping the French automaker take over the top spot in Europe’s fastestgrowing volume segment. Automakers increased small SUV and crossover sales by 89 percent in Europe to 390,100 from January to June, according to data from JATO. Electric cars remained Europe’s fastest-growing segment overall, up by 91 percent to 23,826 units. Leading the surge were the Tesla Model S and BMW i3 (see story, Page 29; H1 segment tables, Pages 30, 31 & 34).
