Large_Premium_Car-segment-European-sales-2018-Mercedes_Benz_E_Class-BMW_5_series-Audi_A6

Highlights

  • Segment down 14% YTD, loses 0,3 percentage points to now hold 2,3% share of the European new car market.
  • Mercedes-Benz E-Class still the dominant player of the segment, strengthened further by having Coupe and Convertible versions available as well
  • Audi A6 the only player in the top-4 to gain sales YTD, at +19% thanks to the new generation
  • Volvo S90/V90 biggest loser in the top-5 as cannibalized by the smaller S60/V60
  • Tesla Model S also down sharply, -48% YTD, also due to internal competition of the smaller Model 3. As a result, German Big-3 regain 7,5 percentage points of segment share to 83,3%
  • Mercedes-Benz CLS up 12% YTD thanks to the new generation, but sales were already down 35% in Q3 when it was outsold by the Model S and Audi A7
  • Jaguar XF outsold in Q3 by the Lexus ES and BMW 6-Series, ES already sold more than the GS has done in any full year in the last decade.

European sales 2019-H1 Premium Large segment

August 23, 2019 by Bart Demandt 1 Comment

Large_Premium_Car-segment-European-sales-2018-Mercedes_Benz_E_Class-BMW_5_series-Audi_A6The premium large car segment in Europe has fallen into a double digit decline in the first half of 2019, with sales down 17% in the second quarter to just under 95.000 sales, after a 13% decline in the first quarter. That leads to a year-to-date decline of 15% to just over 195.000 sales. Only two of the 13 existing models in the class sell more than they did in the same period of 2018, while all the others suffer double digit declines. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class holds its top position with sales down 11% which means it increases its share of the segment to 28,9%. Despite a take rate of 13,9% for the plug-in hybrid version, its nearest rival BMW 5-series loses 19% but still outsold the #3 Audi A6 in the second quarter by nearly 2.000 units. The latter has just been renewed and delivers 15% more vehicles than in Q2 of last year. The A6 adds 6 percentage points of share of the segment, which means these three models now account for 76,5% of all sales in this class. At brand level, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi control 83,3%, up from 77,7% last year. The A6 clearly has a shot at the #2 spot for this year, but is already too far behind the E-Class to reclaim the segment title it last held in 2015. There’s only one caveat to that remark: the E-Class is also available in Coupe and Convertible versions, and sales of those are not split out. Unfortunately we can’t directly compare sales figures of only the sedan and station wagon versions, but the E-Class isn’t as dominant as it seems from these numbers. The Volvo S90/V90 takes a hard hit because of cannibalization from the new S60/V60, which looks very similar to the V90 but is quite a bit more affordable. Sales of the Swedish models are down by 41%, accounting for almost half of the total segment’s decline so far in 2019 and there’s now a significant gap to the top-3.

Large_Premium_Car-segment-European-sales-2018-Mercedes_Benz_E_Class-BMW_5_series-Audi_A6The premium large car segment in Europe has fallen into a double digit decline in the first quarter of 2019, with sales down 13% to just over 100.000 units. Only four of the 14 models in the class sell more than they did in the same period of 2018, and only one in the top-4. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class holds its top position with sales down 11% which means it increases its share of the segment to 28,9%. Despite a take rate of 15,5% for the plug-in hybrid version, its nearest rival BMW 5-series loses 19% and is just 120 sales ahead of the #3 Audi A6. The latter has just been renewed and delivers 12% more vehicles than in Q1 of last year. The A6 adds over 5 percentage points of share of the segment, which means these three models now account for 76% of all sales in this class. At brand level, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi control 83,4%, up from 77,9% last year. The A6 clearly has a shot at the #2 spot for this year, but is already too far behind the E-Class to reclaim the segment title it last held in 2015.

European sales 2018 Premium Large segment

February 22, 2019 by Bart Demandt 2 Comments

Large_Premium_Car-segment-European-sales-2018-Mercedes_Benz_E_Class-BMW_5_series-Audi_A6After a double digit gain in 2017, the premium large car segment in Europe saw its sales decline by 2% in 2018, but manages to stay above 400.000 sales for the second consecutive year and still holds 2,7% of the overall car market. In the top-3, only the BMW 5-series managed to improve its share, and only by the thinnest of margins. This doesn’t necessarily mean the German domination of this segment is under threat, because the losses of their volume sedans (and station wagons) were partially offset by increased sales of their niche models in this segment. While the top-3 models see their combined share thaw from 75% in 2017 to 71,8%, the share of the German 3 brands is stable at 78,9%. The class leader Mercedes-Benz E-Class lost 8% of its sales in 2018 and drops back below 30% share of the segment. The 5-Series is less than 10.000 sales behind thanks to a 1% decline in sales, while the Audi A6 loses ground quickly with a 10% decline as 2018 was a changeover year to the new generation A6.

European sales 2017 Premium Large segment

February 18, 2018 by Bart Demandt Leave a Comment

Large_Premium_Car-segment-European-sales-2017_Q1-Mercedes_Benz_E_Class-BMW_5_series-Audi_A6After 5 years of small declines, sales of premium large cars in Europe rebound sharply in 2017, bouncing back to their 2012 level and back above 400.000 units again after 3 years below that threshold. A 13% gain outperforms the overall market, growing the share of the segment to 2,7%, up from 2,5%. In both the third and fourth quarters the segment growth even accelerated to 19% over 2016. The redesigned BMW 5-series is unable to knock the Mercedes-Benz E-Class off its throne, but keep in mind the latter is helped by coupe and convertible versions which the 5-Series doesn’t have. So in terms of pure sedan and station wagon sales, the battle will be much closer or could even fall in favor of the BMW. Both models gain volume with impressive numbers and increase their combined share of the segment by 7,7 percentage points to 56,2% which means that more than half of every car sold in this class is either a E-Class or a 5-Series. Most of the share gains for these two come from their closest rival Audi A6 which is down by 16% to lose 6,3 percentage points of share as it is due for an all-new generation in 2018. Expect the A6 to suffer even more in the first half of this year before rebounding when customer deliveries of the new model start, but that won’t be enough for the nameplate to return to the top of the chart where it also stood in 2015 and from 2005 to 2007. Perhaps again in 2019?

European sales 2017 Q1-Q3 Premium Large segment

November 17, 2017 by Bart Demandt Leave a Comment

Large_Premium_Car-segment-European-sales-2017_Q1-Mercedes_Benz_E_Class-BMW_5_series-Audi_A6The premium large car segment in Europe picks up momentum in Q3 of 2017 with a 19% increase to over 100.000 sales, leading to an 11% sales gain in the first nine months of the year, to nearly 319.000 sales. The segment is consolidating towards as only one nameplate in the top-5 shows a year-over-year loss, while all models outside of those 5 best sellers lose volume with double digits. In the third quarter the all-new BMW 5-series took the segment top spot with a gain of 61% to nearly 31.000 sales, just ahead of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class with 30.000 sales (up 24%), but the E-Class holds on to its top spot for the year. Keep in mind, the E-Class includes coupe and convertible versions, which the other models don’t have, and these two-door versions are still pretty fresh so could be responsible for most of the growth of the nameplate, together with the also still recent station wagon. In terms of pure sedan and wagon sales, the 5-Series is probably already in the lead this year. These two leave the Audi A6 far behind, down 16% in the third quarter to less than 19.000 sales. Remember the A6 was the segment leader as recently as 2015, before its rivals were renewed. It will have a new shot at the title in 2019 as its next generation will hit showrooms in the second half of next year. So far in 2017, these three German models account for more than three out of every four sales in this segment, up three percentage points from last year.

Polestar 1 revealed, but is enough to anchor the new brand? [w/ poll]

October 17, 2017 by Krzysztof Wozniak 4 Comments

After one of those annoying slow-revealing image launch campaigns, today we saw the final reveal of the new Polestar 1, the first car from Volvo’s new brand dedicated to electric cars. However, despite its stunning looks and an exciting combination of existing technology and bespoke components, the model’s launch has me questioning whether the brand is off to the best possible start with the 1.

European sales 2017 first half Premium Large segment

August 15, 2017 by Bart Demandt 2 Comments

Large_Premium_Car-segment-European-sales-2017_Q1-Mercedes_Benz_E_Class-BMW_5_series-Audi_A6The premium large car segment in Europe remains in the positive in Q2 of 2017 with a 5% increase, leading to an 8% sales gain in the first half of the year, to 218.019 sales. In the top-4 we have 2 nameplates growing with large double digit figures, one losing with double digit figures and one newcomer, so a dynamic segment indeed. Well, in terms of sales, that is. After reclaiming the segment lead in 2016, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class remains king of the hill, growing its share of the segment by 6,3 percentage points on the first half of last year, to 31,2% as it adds more than a third to its volume of the same period in 2016. The all-new BMW 5-series, launched earlier this year, grows even faster than the E-Class in Q2 but is unable to take its crown. It does distance the Audi A6 in third place (down from #1 in the first half of 2016), as it loses 17% in the second quarter and a painful 5,4 percentage points of share. What’s worse for the A6, it outsold the new Volvo S90/V90 by less than 5.000 units in the quarter. Not enough to start worrying about the Swedes breaking the German domination of the segment, but still a small yet welcome success for Volvo. However, the top-3 sellers increase their share to almost three quarters of total segment sales. Keep in mind, the E-Class includes coupe and convertible versions, which the other models don’t have, and these two-door versions are still pretty fresh so could be responsible for most of the growth of the nameplate, together with the also still recent station wagon.

European sales 2017-Q1 Premium Large segment

May 11, 2017 by Bart Demandt 5 Comments

Large_Premium_Car-segment-European-sales-2017_Q1-Mercedes_Benz_E_Class-BMW_5_series-Audi_A6Sales of premium large cars in Europe are back in positive territory and even outgrowing the overall market at +11% to 106.600 units, after a 13% loss in Q4 of 2016. And individual models within this segment have very different fortunes, with all nameplates either growing or declining with double digits. The 2016 segment leader Mercedes-Benz E-Class extends its lead to almost 10.000 units thanks to sales up 48% over the all-new BMW 5-series, up 11% as deliveries of the new generation still need to gain traction. That leaves the leader of Q1 2016 in third place, as the Audi A6 loses 13% of its volume of the same period last year. Keep in mind, the E-Class includes coupe and convertible versions, which the other two models don’t have, and these two-door versions have just been launched so could be responsible for most of the growth, together with the still very fresh station wagon.

European sales 2016 Premium Large segment

February 24, 2017 by Bart Demandt 3 Comments

Large_Premium_Car-segment-European-sales-2016_Q3-Mercedes_Benz_E_Class-Audi_A6-BMW_5_seriesThe premium large car segment in Europe is in dire straits with a loss of 6% in 2016 but a more painful -13% in Q4. Only one model in the top-10 manages to improve its volume: the new leader Mercedes-Benz E-Class, helped by the new generation. The E-Class was up 17% for the year and an even more impressive 32% in Q4. To be fair, this includes sales of the coupe version, which Audi doesn’t offer in this class and BMW has split off from the 5-Series as the 6-Series. The Audi A6 and BMW 5-series are actually impressively stable considering their age compared to the fresh E-Class. The A6 was down just 2% (-10% in Q4) and its new generation isn’t expected until 2018, while the 5-Series lost 8% (-2% in Q4) while the new generation had already been revealed and has entered showrooms early 2017.
