JULY 2017 Land Rover design chief sees multiple ways to expand SUV brand s lineup L and Rover Chief Design Officer Gerry 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 bestselling 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 Correspondent 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 compact 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 people, judging by the reaction. Why not? If you look at Range Rover it Would you want to?

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 people 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 emotional level. For me the thing that delivers 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 Advertising (Price in ) D S Automobiles CEO Yves Bonnefont knows 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 within Citroen s showrooms because it was originally conceived as a subbrand of the long-established French marque. The retail relationship has been less than perfect since DS became a stand-alone brand in The DS 7 Crossback is a key part of the PSA Group subsidiary s plan to end 2014 because the sales force has been its steep sales decline. mostly trained to sell Citroens.

9 June 5-6, 2018 Turin, Italy The Automotive News Europe Congress was established in 1997 and provides a comprehensive perspective on the industry s big issues through a series of keynote addresses, top-level presentations and panel discussions.
