Tbf I don't think they do too badly with just those two models. Sure they both make the top 15 best selling vehicles globally?
But yeah huge gamble on Optimus
It’s hard to see how you can compete as a manufacturer long term without a full size and mid sized ‘SUV’ in 2026, let alone the verity you get from almost all other manufacturers.
Sales of the S and X have been very slow for years for years.
They had the opportunity to produce a more conventional mass market large SUV back when they discontinued the original X in the U.K.
Instead they launched the 1000bhp Plaid with a refreshed interior. The car has too many gimmicks which has ultimately killed it because it is simply too expensive.
The Y ‘L’ they have launched in China is much closer to where the X should have gone.
