In this 2022, Lotus and Smart are the two newest brands to join the “SUV club”. At the beginning of April, the British sports car company announced the first SUV in history, the Eletre, while Smart also revealed the strangely named SUV model #1 against the Mini Countryman.
Ignoring the two names above, we still have 11 car manufacturers in the world that do not have SUVs in the lineup for many different reasons: either the lineup is waiting to be completed in the future, or they do not want to make SUVs because they go against the brand value. brand or less… no matching chassis. The 11 names above, in alphabetical order, are Abarth, Alpine, Bugatti, Chrysler, Ferrari, Lancia, Lucid, McLaren, Pagani, Polestar and Ram.
In the case of Alpine, Ferrari and Polestar, they will soon have at least one SUV model launched in the near future, the closest is probably the Ferrari Purosangue. Chrysler also has an SUV concept called Airflow, but it is not clear when it will be completed or even green-lit.
Meanwhile, Bugatti, McLaren and Pagani are sports car/supercar brands with SUVs not necessarily their primary focus. However, in the case of McLaren, this factor may soon change due to financial issues and changes in leadership. Ram from the US is also a pure pickup / commercial vehicle brand, so it does not put SUVs heavily in the lineup.
Lucid – Tesla’s countryman electric car company is in the process of finalizing the lineup and SUV could be their next name line after the Air sedan. In the end, neither Lancia nor Abarth have any plans to launch an SUV, considering that the future and the technology they are used to rely on is owned by the Stellantis Group.
In addition to the above names, we can also mention a number of car manufacturers like Rimac, Koenigsegg or Morgan, but their product lineup is too specialized while sales are not enough to rank with the group of names on the side. above.
In the opposite direction, the 10 automakers with the largest global lineup of SUVs have no less than 10 models in this segment (excluding China and India because cars for these two countries are too many). The first are the two largest car groups in the world Toyota and Volkswagen.
