The good old notch rear limousine goes under in the whole hype about SUVs and crossover and is already written off by many. But deadly life, which the Sedans still play an important role in the manufacturer’s model portfolio worldwide.

The requiem on the proven sedan have already been sung. When Ford and GM announced the end of the production of some notch rear models, quite a few already unpacked the grave blades.

SUV almost ousted sedan

A resuscitation elixir could be the electromobility. Air resistance and weight are reflected in the range. And there the high -tedious SUVs and crossover usually offer a bad combination. A limousine, be it with steps or assheck, cuts off better. In addition there are very human reasons: of all things, the GM chief designer Michael Simcoe showed through the internet portal "GM Authority" that the Sedans, in his opinion. The reason for the top GM former is aesthetics. "Ultimately, people want a chic car to envy their neighbors," said Simcoe.

The numbers of the two Japanese vehicles refer to locally produced cars. Then there are still countries such as India and Brazil that are currently going through a car weak phase, but are still sleeping giants in which there is still a limousine clientele.

  1. Advantages or not
    SUV undisputedly have their advantages, but does not mean extinction of the limousine. … Everyone looks for the shape that promises him. supply and demand… Even the carmaker of the century has limousines and SUVs on offer

  2. Not everyone likes these globular SUVs…
    By the way, I don’t either. For the most "completely oversized". In the meantime, you can also fold the back seat with a sedan if you "Something bulky" want to transport. I think the limousine will continue to "inherent part" our street scene will remain… In any case, I stay with the "Mine"…
