E makaʻala, Volkswagen a me Skoda! Ke alakaʻi nei ʻo Renault, Peugeot a me Citroen i ka hoʻolaha Farani e lilo i mau mea ʻokoʻa i nā hōʻailona ʻEulopa ma Australia.

E hoʻohui ʻia ka Megane E-Tech-electric āpau i ka pae Renault ma 2023.

Loaʻa ka lanakila ʻana o nā kaʻa Farani ma Australia, akā aia nā hōʻailona e loli paha kēia.

Ke hana nei ʻo Citroën, Peugeot a me Renault ma Australia - i kekahi manawa - no nā makahiki he mau makahiki. Ua loaʻa iā lākou nā piʻi nui a me nā haʻahaʻa, a ua hoʻokuʻu hou ʻia lākou a pau i hoʻokahi manawa.

ʻOiai ʻo Renault a, ma kekahi ʻano, ua loaʻa iā Peugeot kekahi kūleʻa kūʻai aku ma Australia, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia ʻo Citroen i ka wā e pili ana i nā helu kūʻai.

Ke noʻonoʻo nei i ka lōʻihi o kā lākou ʻoihana - 122 mau makahiki no Renault, 211 mau makahiki no Peugeot a me 102 mau makahiki no Citroen - he mea kupanaha ʻaʻole i kōkua kā lākou hoʻoilina i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi waihona kūʻai nui ma Australia.

Akā, e loli paha nā mea a pau?

Ua ʻike kēlā me kēia hōʻailona i ka piʻi nui o kā lākou kūʻai aku i ka mahina i hala aku nei i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i kā lākou hopena Ianuali 2021, hiki ke hōʻailona i kahi loli i kā lākou Down Under fortunes.

E lilo anei ʻo 2022 i ka makahiki e holo hope ai nā hōʻailona Farani ma Australia? Pono anei ʻo Volkswagen a me Skoda e hopohopo e pili ana i ka lawe ʻana o Farani i kā lākou lei aliʻi semi-premium European? Nānā mākou i nā mea e hana nei me kēlā me kēia brand.

Ua hoʻololi ʻo Arkana coupe-style SUV i ka Kadjar i aloha nui ʻia ma ka lineup Australian o Renault.

Renault

Ua kokoke loa ʻo Renault e lilo i mea hakakā maoli ma Australia i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka waena o 2010s, me ka hōʻailona e hoʻopaʻa nei i kāna kūʻai kiʻekiʻe loa o 11,525 mau kaʻa ma 2015.

ʻO ka laina ikaika o nā kaʻa kalepa ʻo Renault, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Kangoo, Trafic a me Master vans, i helu ʻia ma kahi o ka hapakolu o nā kūʻai aku a Renault i kēlā makahiki.

He lohi ka emi ʻana mai ka wā i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ka brand i 7099 kūʻai i 2021, piʻi 2.8% mai 2020.

Ua loli kekahi mea ma waena o 2015 a me 2021. ʻEono mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻo ka Clio light hatchback ke kumu kūʻai maikaʻi loa, ʻoiai ʻo ka hatchback liʻiliʻi a me Megane kaʻa ka mea nui o ka lineup.

Ua haʻalele ʻia ka Clio i ka pau ʻana o ke kaʻina ola o kēlā kumu hoʻohālike a ua hoʻoholo ʻo Renault ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo pāʻoihana e lawe mai i kahi mana hanauna hou, a ʻo Megane wale nō i loaʻa i kēia manawa ma Australia ʻo ka RS hot hatch range, e hoʻomaka ana ma ka ʻākau o $50,000. . .

Ua hoʻomaka hewa ʻo Renault me ​​ka SUV Kadjar. Kaʻana like ʻana me ka Nissan Qashqai, ʻaʻole maikaʻi ka maikaʻi o ka Kadjar i hana ʻia e ʻEulopa a ua kāpae ʻia i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 2021, hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope o kona hoʻokuʻu ʻia.

Ua hoʻololi ʻia ʻo ia e kahi coupe-style Arkana SUV i kū ʻoi aku ma mua o ka run-of-the-mill Kadjar. Ua ʻoi aku ka manaʻo kālā o ka Arkana no Renault no ka mea i hana ʻia ma ka hale kanu Renault-Samsung ma South Korea.

E hiki koke mai ana ka hanauna hou Kangoo van.

ʻO kahi hoʻololi ʻē aʻe ʻo ka hoʻolaha kūloko o Renault. I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻoili ka ʻoihana makua Farani ʻo Renault Australia i nā kuleana hāʻawi i ka mea lawe kūʻokoʻa ʻo Ateco Group, a he manaʻo wiwo ʻole ka ʻoihana ma Sydney e hoʻonui i nā kūʻai.

Ua piʻi ka kūʻai ʻana o nā kaʻa kalepa ʻo Renault i ka 58% o ka nui o nā kūʻai aku i ka makahiki i hala, me ka Trafic midsize van e alakaʻi ana i ka pā me 2093 mau ʻāpana.

I Ianuali o kēia makahiki, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka hōʻailona Farani i ka piʻi ʻana he 150 pakeneka i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me Ianuali 2021, i ka wā i kūʻai ʻia ai nā ʻāpana 645.

ʻO nā helu paʻa no ka hanauna hou ʻo Captur light SUV, ʻo Arkaka a me nā Koleos kahiko (i ulu aʻe ma kahi o 2000%) kōkua i ka hopena holoʻokoʻa.

I kēia makahiki, e paʻi ka hanauna hou ʻo Kangoo i ko mākou mau kahakai a pono e hoʻoweliweli i ka Volkswagen Caddy. E hāʻawi ʻia kekahi mana uila maanei. Manaʻo ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona hou aʻe e hōʻea i 2023 i ka wā e manaʻo ʻia ai ka holo ʻana o ka Megane E-Tech crossover-electric.

ʻAʻole i maopopo inā e hoʻolauna ʻo Renault Australia i ka Austral SUV, e hoʻolauna koke ʻia e pani i ka Kadjar. Wahi a ka lono e loaʻa i kēia kaʻa kahi mana ʻekolu lālani i hiki ke pani i nā Koleos.

I kekahi hihia, ke ʻimi nei nā mea no Renault.

ʻO ka SUV 2008 ka mea kūʻai nui loa o Peugeot i Ianuali.

Peugeot

I ka makahiki 2007, kūʻai aku ʻo Peugeot ma luna o 8000 mau kaʻa ma Australia. Mai ia manawa, ua loli ke kūʻai aku ma waena o 2000 a me 5000 i ka makahiki. Akā, ʻo ka hope, ʻike ʻia kona kūlana.

Hāʻawi ʻia e Inchcape Australia ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke kaikuahine ʻo Citroen, ua hoʻopaʻa ka brand i 2805 kūʻai i ka makahiki i hala, ua piʻi ʻo 31.8% mai 2020.

Inā ʻaʻole lawa, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo Peugeot i nā kaʻa 184 i kēia Ianuali, ʻoi aku ka 72% mai ka mahina hoʻokahi i ka makahiki i hala.

ʻO kekahi kumu o ka ulu hou ʻana o Peugeot ʻo ia ka hoʻohui ʻana o kahi lineup van kalepa ma 2019. E like me Renault, hāʻawi ʻo Peugeot i kahi kaʻa liʻiliʻi (Partner), medium (Expert) a me ka nui (Boxer) me kāna mau kaʻa kaʻa ʻelua (308 a me 508) a me ʻekolu SUV (2008, 3008 a me 5008).

ʻAʻole kūʻai aku nā minivans ma ke ʻano like me ka laulā o Renault, akā hoʻonui lākou i ke kūʻai aku, me ke kūʻai aku ʻana mai 12.5% ​​​​a 162.5% i ka mahina i hala.

ʻO ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻo ka midsize 3008 ke kaʻa kūʻai maikaʻi loa (1172 kūʻai), akā ma Ianuali 2008 ʻo ia ke alakaʻi me 74 mau inoa inoa.

Me ka hoʻohui ʻia o ka papa waena GT 2008 i ka makahiki i hala a me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka all-electric e-2008 i kēia makahiki, e piʻi mau ana kēlā mau kūʻai. Pono e kōkua pū nā mana hoʻohui huila o ka 508 a me 3008 hitting showrooms.

Hoʻohui pū ʻia me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka hapaha kolu o ka hatchback 308 hou a me ke kaʻa kaʻa, aia ʻo Peugeot i kēia manawa ma ka ʻōwili a hiki ke loaʻa i kahi 2022 ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.

Ua hōʻea ka Citroen C4 hou i nā mea kūʻai aku ma Australia i ka hopena o ka makahiki i hala.

Citroen

ʻAʻole ʻike inoa ʻia ʻo Citroen a i ʻole Peugeot a i ʻole Renault lineup ʻike a ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa o ka nui ma muli o ka hopena.

I ka makahiki 2005, 2528 mau kaʻa i kūʻai ʻia ma ʻaneʻi. ʻO ka makahiki i hala aku nei he 175 pōʻino. He haʻahaʻa loa ia i ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kūʻai ʻana o Citroen e Ferrari.

ʻO ka nele o kahi huahana e hoʻopili ai i nā mea kūʻai aku ua hoʻopilikia i ka brand i nā makahiki i hala aku nei me kekahi mau hemahema kaulana. ʻAʻole i holo ka C4 Cactus i hoʻolālā ʻia a ua hoʻopau ʻia ka C3 Aircross ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana o ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mea i manaʻo ʻia.

Ua hoʻololi ʻo Inchcape i kāna hoʻolālā LCV ma 2019, e hāʻawi ana iā Peugeot i ke alakaʻi i ka lineup van. ʻO kēia ka manaʻo o ka mālama ʻana i ka Citroen Berlingo - ka māhoe o Peugeot Partner - i ka laina. ʻO ka mea pōʻino no Citroen, ʻo Berlingo ka mea kūʻai nui loa.

Eia nō naʻe, i Ianuali o kēia makahiki, ua lele ʻo Citroen i ka 70.6% i 29 mau ʻāpana. ʻOiaʻiʻo, he helu haʻahaʻa loa kēia, akā he hopena maikaʻi nō naʻe.

ʻO ka C4 hou, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka hopena o ka makahiki i hala, hānau hou ʻia ma ke ʻano he crossover hatchback, ke hoʻopuka nei i ka hoihoi, me 13 mau kaʻa i kūʻai ʻia ma Ianuali.

Manaʻo ʻia kahi mana hou o ka C5 Aircross e hōʻea i Australia i nā mahina e hiki mai ana a hiki ke hāʻawi iā Citroen i mea hoʻoikaika i ka māhele midsize SUV.

Ma hope o kēia makahiki, e pae ana ka C5 X midsize crossover e hāʻawi i ka brand i ka hoʻonui premium.

Eia hou, ʻaʻole paha e hoʻopilikia ʻo Citroen iā Toyota ma nā palapala kūʻai, akā e kōkua kēia mau mea hoʻohui e hoʻonui i ka ʻike a me nā kūʻai aku ma Australia.
