After Alfa Romeo we continue with brand registration figures Fiat in 2023 for France. So how is the Italian brand faring, with 5 models currently in its catalog?
Drum roll, Fiat will have registered 40,336 cars in 2023 in France. An increase of 10 % compared with 2022. which, it should be noted, was the brand's worst year for at least a decade. Speaking of decades, registrations will have been halved. Another era...
| Year | Fiat registrations |
|---|---|
| 2023 | 40336 |
| 2022 | 36508 |
| 2021 | 39914 |
| 2020 | 42360 |
| 2019 | 71666 |
| 2018 | 78226 |
| 2017 | 68196 |

With regard to sales breakdown, We don't yet have the details by model, but we do know that from January to October 2023, Fiat had registered over 19,000 electric Fiat 500s. It's reasonable to assume that the 500 electric represents at least 50 % of Fiat registrations in France. Then count on 6,000 to 8,000 Fiat 500 hybrids, and the rest will probably be mostly Pandas and a few 500Xs.
The year 2023 will be marked by the launch of a new model in the catalog, the 600The first customer delivery is scheduled for mid-November 2023. As for the Tipo, it's simply no longer in the catalog, and quietly pursues its career in Turkey, where it's produced. The 500X has also been withdrawn from the catalog, replaced by the 600.
By 2024, Fiat can always count on 500 electric, on the new 600 electric and hybrid whose sales we'll have to keep a close eye on, and probably a little more Panda... Remember that the latter's replacement will be presented in July 2024. So, by the start of the 2024 school year, the Fiat range will be almost 100 % electric, with the Topilino, the 500 electric and hybrid, the 600 electric and hybrid, the Panda hybrid (old) and the new electric Panda.
In 2022, Fiat was the Stellantis Group's number 1 brand, with 1.2 million registrations worldwide, led by South America. Let's wait and see what the figures are for 2023!
After the figures for Fiat, Alfa, Maserati and Lancia, it's clear that the former Fiat Group is doing badly, very badly indeed.
STELLANTIS through Tavares ( ex PSA ) doesn't give a damn about Italian women.
In fact, whenever a new Group model comes out, it's always based on a Peugeot engine or chassis.
Alfiste, I preferred Marchionne's ideas.
That's exactly it: Stellantis derives Peugeot models from all the Group's brands.
Tavares knows and understands nothing about the specifics of Italian cars. Imparato is a mere executor.
Marchionne may have made mistakes, but he knew what Italian cars should be.
Half of Fiat's total sales of 500e is not bad. It's proof that small electric cars make sense, but that doesn't mean the whole range has to be electric.
I received the figures for the 500th today, I'll share them in tomorrow's news!
When you've got brands like Alfa, Maserati, Ferrari, Lancia, Abarth and some top-of-the-range Fiat, you don't play the game like Marchionne did, who dismantled this beautiful world, which was rather to be pampered!
Fiat X times world rally champions, Lancia, Abarth, idem, alfa the sporting heart, Ferrari the myth, Maserati the beast of the past that we can't forget...you don't play it that way, yes Marchionne was an economist but certainly not a purist with the tempered heart of these historic brands!!!
