Premium SUVs poised for sales surge after disappointing 2013

European sales of premium SUVs are expected to surge as the market heads toward 1 million units by 2020, analysts predict. The segment grew 15 percent in 2012 because of strong European demand for models such as the Audi Q3 and Range Rover Evoque but sales last year were down 5 percent to 584,651. The momentum will be back this year, according to LMC Automotive.
