JONES ON THE MAIN STELLANTIS BRANDS ALFA ROMEO

PEUGEOT

“Peugeot is doing well and grew market share in March. We have got a whole range of cars, vans and powertrains, and they have got the new products as well, which are desirable.”

CITROEN

“Citroën has grown. Eurig Druce, the MD, has an advanced plan and he’s in the second year of it. It is built around fair pricing and comfort and has found a niche with customers.”

DS

“DS is a start-up; it’s trying to get brand awareness. But you’ll see in terms of the number of retailers investing, there are open points that have been filled now.”

FIAT

“Fiat has had the electric 500, so it is moving to be a strong electric brand in a different part of the market, appealing to people who want a small city car, an urban car or new drivers.”

“Still to come. The Tonale comes at the end of this year. So that’s the first foray into the new powertrains and it has huge potential and credibility. People love Alfa Romeo.”

JEEP

“It has a strong product and is now moving to lower CO2, bringing plug-in hybrids and electric models as well. So you still get that freedom, that feeling of freedom.”
