With over 15,000 units sold in October and 90,000 in the first ten months, the Fiat Panda is still the undisputed queen of the Italian market.
A market that slows down again after the positive post-lockdown months, also thanks to the incentive campaign, and which records - and has not happened for a long time - a decline in sales of crossover-suvs, bodywork that has recorded a trend in continuous rise.
As regards fuel supplies, on the other hand, compared to the same month last year, there is a decrease in sales of petrol cars, as well as for diesel, while from hybrid to electric passing through LPG there is a sustained growth, a symptom that customers are much more predisposed to eco-sustainable and clean mobility.
In particular - according to the data published by Unrae, relating to the October market - Fiat Panda is confirmed in first place in the ranking of best-sellers in Italy, with as many as 9 thousand hybrid electric units sold (HEV).
The Lancia Ypsilon follows in the ranking (4,719 units), which is also second in the first ten months.
Third, in October, and first among foreigners, the new Citroen C3 with 4,714 units, followed by Toyota Yaris (4,340), Renault Captur (3,757).
The top ten ends with three FCA cars (Fiat 500, 500 X and Jeep Renegade), followed by Renault Clio and Opel Corsa, respectively in ninth and tenth place with 3,429 and 3,298 units.
