ISSUE HIGHLIGHTS
Porsche has built its reputation on of-
fering vehicles that are a joy to drive
because they look, feel and sound sleek
and powerful. But how will the Volkswa-
gen Group subsidiary fit in a future world
that is supposed to be filled with battery-
powered pods that drive themselves?
Our cover story examines the significant
shifts taking place at the sports car mak-
er so that it can keep pace with the in-
dustry’s game-changing megatrends, all
without alienating a dedicated customer
base that still craves vehicles that are
fun to drive and roar (Pages 6-8).
Racing execs
Whether it is PSA Group CEO Carlos
Tavares at the wheel of a thunderous
1969 Lola T70 at Spa-Francorchamps
(Pages 10-11) or Aston Martin CEO
Andy Palmer (Page 13) competing in
a 24-hour endurance race, many of the
top executives who are leading the Eu-
ropean auto industry to new heights are
just as dedicated to pushing their limits
while on the racetrack. Another execu-
tive with racing in his blood is Bentley
CEO Wolfgang Duerheimer, but his first
love was competing on two wheels in-
stead of four (Page 12).
French disconnection
DS Automobiles is one of the few auto-
makers that has failed to benefit from
Europe’s recent sales boom. One rea-
son is the PSA Group brand’s aging line-
up. DS CEO Yves Bonnefont has decid-
ed to completely reboot the operation,
sending dealers to “boot camp” to learn
how to sell the cars, cutting hundreds
of outlets and introducing new models
(Page 16).
Tough act to follow
Volvo achieved unprecedented success
with its first-generation XC60, which is
Europe’s No. 1 selling premium midsize
SUV in a segment that includes heavy-
weights such as the BMW X3 and Audi
Q5. The second generation of Volvo’s
global best-seller will debut this year.
We tested the car to see if it has what
it takes to continue the model line’s
worldwide success (Page 17).
Europe at the forefront
The Automotive News Europe Congress
that took place in Barcelona last month
headlined by big names including Seat
President Luca de Meo, Volvo CEO
Hakan Samuelsson, Ford of Europe
President Steven Armstrong and Toyota
Chief Competitive Officer Didier Leroy.
They shared their insights on where the
industry is headed (Pages 18-25).
For even more on what makes Europe
unique you will want to check out our
Final Word column on Page 38. There
you will find out that Luxembourg has
the youngest car parc in Europe while
Poland has the oldest. Germany has the
highest number of people directly em-
ployed in vehicle manufacturing in Eu-
rope but Spain has the highest output
per worker. Turkey is the largest vehicle
exporter to the EU in term of units, but
Japan accounts for the highest import
value of cars to the region.
Enjoy the issue!

Porsche reloaded
Lamborghini increased European sales of the Huracan by 23% from January
to April and experts see the exotic segment growing more than 20% to almost
13,000 units this year. The exotic segment analysis starts on Page 14.
A peek inside
About 75 percent of the compo-
nents used inside today’s vehicles
come from partsmakers such as Rob-
ert Bosch, Continental, Denso, Valeo,
Webasto and ZF -- to name just a few
of the heavyweights that generate
multi-billion euros from their annual
original equipment sales. There are
also many other suppliers involved
in the complicated process of turn-
ing metals, plastics, fabrics and flu-
ids into a finished product. To view

AUTOMOTIVE NEWS EUROPE Q&A
www.autonewseurope.com
AUGUST 2017
Land Rover design chief sees multiple ways to expand SUV brand’s lineupRoom to roamQA
Land Rover Chief Design Officer Ger-
ry McGovern has played a key role
in the brand’s current success. Since
taking the job in 2006, he has created
so-called “white space” models to close
key gaps in the SUV specialist’s lineup.
One example is the Range Rover Evoque,
which became the Land Rover’s best-
selling model soon after its 2011 debut.
Another is the new Range Rover Velar.
McGovern explained why Land Rover
sees additional opportunities to expand
the brand’s portfolio during an interview
with Automotive News Europe Corre-
spondent Nick Gibbs.
How does the new Velar fit into the
Range Rover lineup?
One aspect is its scale. For some people
the Range Rover Evoque is a bit too com-
pact and the Range Rover Sport is a bit
too big. But [the Velar] is also a Range
Rover with a different twist, with a more
road-orientated emphasis. It’s offering
people more choice in an SUV market
that’s growing disproportionately. It’s
certainly made the connection with peo-
ple, judging by the reaction.
How important is price and size when
trying to differentiate your models?
If you’re in a Range Rover Sport you’re
sitting higher [in price]. You’re lower
in the Range Rover Velar, you’re a
bit more compact and it’s less overt.
A brand like ours has this ability to
stretch. I would argue you could have
two Range Rovers that are exactly the
same size but if they had two personali-
ties then they’ve both got equal appeal
but to different customers.
Does that allow you to reposition the
Range Rover or Range Rover Sport?
It could but we have a strong customer
base for Range Rover and Range Rover
Sport. No other manufacturer sells that
volume of vehicles at that price point in
that market sector.
Could you create a vehicle that could
go up against the Bentley Bentayga?
Absolutely.
Would you want to?
Why not? If you look at Range Rover it
has a broad price range from 76,000
pounds ($86,200) up to 176,000
pounds. Clients can then come to our
SVO [special vehicle operations] division
to create a truly bespoke Range Rover
that can move the price above 200,000
pounds, so it’s not a very big step to get
into Bentayga territory. What we have
is the pedigree and authenticity in that
sector. That’s what we’re renowned for.
We’ve got the unquestionable pedigree,
so why wouldn’t we do it?
That means there are more models to
come within Range Rover?
Within our lineup of vehicles Range Rov-
er has by far the most equity, in terms
of premium pricing and luxury execu-
tion. Part of what we do in design is to
envision what those opportunities could
be, and say ‘What if we did this type of
Range Rover or Land Rover?’ For me, a
family is more than two and with Dis-
covery we’ve only got two vehicles, so
there are a lot of opportunities. We have
to work out what our priorities are and
what level of investment is required.
What do you think the autonomous
car of the future will look like?
There’s a lot of talk that in 25 years kids
won’t have a desire to drive a car, that peo-
ple won’t own cars any more. But nobody
is talking much about the fact that people
have a visceral desire to own vehicles that
they enjoy and that resonate on an emo-
tional level. For me the thing that deliv-
ers that is the design. Design is the glue.
So, for me these things can only come to
life though a brand’s essence, otherwise
they’re just commodities.
What’s a good example of something
that should have died out due to a
shift in technology but didn’t?
Look at the Swiss watch industry. You
don’t need a watch any more, but the
levels of investment and revenue are
still very high. That’s all fueled by desire.
People buy them because they resonate
with them. ANE

AUTOMOTIVE NEWS EUROPE COVER STORY
Survival of the fittest Porsche has set sales records by adding SUVs, diesels and the Panamera four-door coupe-styled sedan to a lineup
that once only featured sports cars. The automaker is re-inventing itself again for the electric and autonomous age.
Porsche adapts to automotive megatrends to thrive in future decades
CHRISTIAAN HETZNER
Although “The Origin of Species” was
written more than 150 years ago,
Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selec-
tion never had more meaning for Oliver
Blume than today. Porsche’s 49-year-
old CEO seems to have made biology
compulsory reading for his management
team as part of his strategy for 2025.
The sports car maker views the future
as a matter of survival or extinction fol-
lowing a “Big Bang,” Porsche’s term for
the digital revolution that has already
spawned new competitors and business
models. Referencing writings on evolu-
tion, its IT head Sven Lorenz said: “It’s
not the strongest species that survive
but the ones most able to adapt.”
Porsche’s alarmist language is fitting: in-
vestors seem to believe carmakers are
facing a doomsday scenario, the prover-
bial dinosaurs staring up at the oncom-
ing meteor. “There’s nothing cheaper
in terms of quality blue chips in global
equity markets than the OEMs, including
the Germans. They are at recession-low
valuation levels,” analyst Arndt Elling-
horst of Evercore ISI said. Only Toyota,
Volkswagen and Daimler are worth more
than electric car maker Tesla.
While it’s now considered a must for
industry executives to discuss the in-
herent and substantial risks stemming
from technological disruption, few paint
as bleak a picture as Porsche. This is
surprising given the carmaker appears
more immune than most to megatrends
such as shared mobility, electric vehi-
cles and autonomous driving. Not only
does its 911 remain the global bench-
mark for luxury performance coupes,
the company’s finances are rock solid.
Porsche’s operating profit last year had
never been higher and its 17 percent
return on sales was second only to Fer-
rari’s 19 percent in 2016. Porsche also
surpassed its 200,000-unit-a-year sales
target in 2015 -- three years ahead of
plan. Last year’s total was a record
237,778 vehicles. To reach that level of
volume, Porsche has had to add main-
stream vehicles that some purists dis-
dain. The brand, however, has proved
flexible enough to make additions such
as the Macan midsize SUV and its first
station wagon, the Panamera Sport
Turismo, without sacrificing “emotional
sportiness,” as Blume calls it.
On the other hand, Porsche’s success
is arguably also its greatest weakness.
Thus far, the brand has defined itself as
a carmaker that sells gasoline-powered
dreams on four wheels. Mashing the ped-
al and hearing the howl of the company’s
trademark boxer engine isn’t enough, so
it’s no surprise then that Porsche fans
already cried out when the smaller 718
model was downsized from six cylinders
to just four. Moreover, one design ele-
ment common to every Porsche ever built
is a central instrument cluster dominated
not by a speedometer but an analog rev
counter. How does one mimic these traits
in a whisper-quiet electric car?
Not enough
Unable to ignore oncoming megatrends,
Blume and his team believe that pulling
all the usual levers to improve Porsche’s
business – making everything a bit light-
er, a bit quicker or a bit more affordable
– simply won’t be enough. Without ques-
tioning the fundamentals, a company will

Fresh startDS CEO Bonnefont sends dealers to ‘boot camp’ ahead of product offensivePETER [email protected]
DS Automobiles CEO Yves Bonnefontknows that it’s impossible to create a premium division overnight. He knows, however, that the PSA Group subsidiary needed to shake up its European dealer network to end a prolonged sales slump and capitalize on a long-awaited product offensive.“We have a network that is largely oversized for us,” Bonnefont told Automotive News Europe. “I sold 65,000 cars in Europe [last year], so I don’t need a network designed for 1 million sales.”
Currently, most DS models are sold with-in Citroen’s showrooms because it was originally conceived as a subbrand of the long-established French marque. The re-tail relationship has been less than perfect since DS became a stand-alone brand in 2014 because the sales force has been mostly trained to sell Citroens. “They are not very familiar with the DS product and the DS customers,” Bonnefont said. To remedy that, he is slashing the number of DS outlets and creating separate show-rooms for the brand. He hopes to have 400 DS outlets by year-end. He has also created a monthly “DS boot camp” for dealers that started this spring. Over three days, salespeople learn about DS’ strategy and forthcom-ing lineup. The first model designed from the ground up for the brand, the DS 7 Crossback SUV, will be in showrooms at the end of this year. Though it is similar in dimensions to its PSA sister models, the Peugeot 3008 and Citroen C5 Air-cross, Bonnefont says the DS 7 Cross-back communicates the brand’s DNA through a focus on refinement, technol-ogy and high-quality materials.
“What I want is that anything you touch in the car has to have some craftsman-ship,” he said. “It gives a sense of a car being made by people for people.” To help promote that message, the DS salespeople who are taking part in the boot camps, which are held in Paris, visit the workshop of the luxury jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels for briefings on how to cre-ate relationships with high-end buyers.
Focus on hot segmentsDS’ current European range includes the DS 3, introduced as a Citroen model in 2010; and the DS 4 and DS 5 crossovers. Sales of all three are on the decline (see chart, below). In the midterm, DS will introduce one new model a year for six years, reportedly including a flagship se-dan that would recall the original Citroen DS of 1955. Bonnefont declined to offer any specifics, but he said that as a new player, “We decided to put our six models in segments where we see global growth to be the fastest,” which he acknowl-edged are SUVs and crossovers.
The pace of the introductions is unlikely to help stem short-term losses at DS.
“I think our sales will continue to fall in 2017, and they will rebound in 2018,” Bonnefont said. DS’ European sales fell 15 percent to 65,452 last year in a mar-ket that grew more than 6 percent over-all. In China, DS sales fell by 25 percent, to 16,151. Bonnefont defends the losses. “I could have said, ‘I’m going to do some half-baked second-generation DS,’ and have something on the market faster. I didn’t want to do that because we are building a brand for the next 20 years.”Christoph Stuermer, global lead analyst at PwC Autofacts, said the premium seg-ment was currently being “hammered with new entrants” from German, Ital-ian and Asian automakers. “To be in premium means a lot of effort, a lot of blood, sweat and tears, brutal product competition, and not much return,” he said, “only the stakes are higher than in the volume segment.”
Despite those challenges, Bonnefont said DS has had little trouble in sign-ing new dealers after showing them the brand’s future models. “That speaks to the value of what we have in the pipe-line,” he said. “Those guys are all sea-soned automotive executives, and they put their personal money into it.” ANE

Targeting the topHyundai looks to ride SUV wave to top spot among Asian brands in Europe
ANDREA [email protected]
Hyundai will double the number of SUVs it offers in Europe to four by
2019 and is expected to boost its cross-over lineup even further by 2021, which is when it aims to pass Toyota and Nis-san to become the region’s top-selling Asian brand. Hyundai’s SUV-driven product offensive started this summer with the debut of the Kona subcompact SUV, which goes on sale in Europe later this year. It will be followed by a minicar-sized crossover, which Hyundai sources say will arrive in Europe in 2019, and a flagship crossover that will be larger than the midsize Santa Fe/Grand Santa Fe SUV is expected to follow later.
Currently, SUVs account for about 35 percent of Hyundai’s total sales in Eu-rope. The automaker expects that num-ber to rise, but would not provide a tar-get. Sister brand Kia, which is growing three times faster than Hyundai in Europe (see box, below), gets about 41 percent of its sales in the region from SUVs. At Nissan, SUVs account for more than 70 percent of the brand’s European sales. Toyota counts on SUVs for nearly 30 per-cent of its sales but that’s up from 12 per-cent last year because of the arrival of its all-new CH-R compact crossover.
The demand for SUVs shows no signs of slowing as the market share for the models in Europe through May was 28.2 percent, up from 24.7 percent during the same period last year. “The widening of the SUV range is a must today if you want to keep or increase your market share in Europe” said JATO analyst Fe-lipe Munoz. “Hyundai is growing slower than the European market in 2017 be-cause it sells only two SUVs.”
The Kona is expected to help boost Hyundai’s European sales -- and its prof-its. “We forecast Kona sales in Europe will be 63,600 in 2018, its first full year on the market, and peak at 64,000 the following year,” said IHS Markit analyst Ian Fletcher. While he doesn’t expect the Kona to be the segment leader, it should easily outsell the model it replaces,
the ix20 minivan, which accounted for 33,000 units last year. “The Kona will also be more profitable [than the ix20], given the higher average prices of SUVs, and will bring to Hyundai new types of customers,” Fletcher said. Hyundai Eu-rope Chief Operating Officer Thomas Schmid agrees. He also recently called the Kona “an important milestone of our journey to become the No. 1 Asian auto-motive brand in Europe by 2021.”
The Kona will challenge subcompact SUVs such as the Renault Captur, Opel/Vauxhall Mokka as well as Volkswagen’s first model in the segment, the produc-tion version of the T-Roc that will debut at the end of this month. Another rival is the Stonic from sister brand Kia. The Stonic shares its platform with the Kia
Rio platform. The Kona’s platform is all new and it will be used for several sibling subcompacts, including sedans.
‘Room for growth’The mini-SUV, which will share its plat-form with the i10 minicar, is arguably the boldest and riskiest model in the grow-ing portfolio because until now very few automakers have been willing to offer a crossover in a European segment where margins historically have been tiny. Currently, the only models that could be considered mini-SUVs are the Fiat Panda Cross and Suzuki Ignis as both of-fer four-wheel drive. Hyundai would not say whether its offering in the segment would do the same.
Hyundai said small SUVs are the world’s top-performing segment, with an annual average growth rate of 46 percent from 2010 to 2016. “Even as the global SUV market is nearing saturation, we believe that extra small or small SUVs have more room for growth than large SUVs,” Hyun-dai Vice Chairman, Eui-sun Chung said at the Kona’s debut in Seoul in June.
Chung also said Hyundai will launch a top-of-the-range SUV, which will be larg-er than the midsize Santa Fe. The new model’s likely rivals in Europe would include seven-seat models such as the Nissan X-Trail and Renault Koleos. ANE
The Kona is expected to help boost Hyundai’s sales and profits in Europe.

Launched in 2011, Automotive News Europe’s first Rising Stars award program was a huge success. Subsequent award programs have been equally successful. The 2017 winners came from all disciplines – general management, engineering, manufacturing, finance, product planning – and from companies across Europe, including Benteler, Dana, Faurecia, Jaguar Land Rover, Magna Steyr, Nissan, Opel and Schaeffler to name a few.
A Rising Star is an automotive executive with a pan-European profile who has driven change, fostered innovation and made courageous decisions. To qualify, candidates should have a minimum of 10 years of work experience, have multiple language skills and be 45 years or younger. We accept nominations from carmakers, suppliers, automotive service providers and retail/aftersales businesses.
The jury, consisting of previous winners of the award and Automotive News Europe’s editorial team, gets together each March to select the Rising Stars in the following categories:
2018June 5, 2018 • Turin, Italy

The Congress is held each year in June, with the annual Rising Stars award program the night before. In 2018 the Congress will take place on June 5-6 in Turin, Italy.
The Congress is attended by top industry executives and key decision-makers from automakers, suppliers and service providers.
