Fiat will rebuild its range with its own platforms
- For several years, the Fiat brand has focused on the A segment, with two model families, one consisting of the 500 and the other consisting of the Panda. The Italian brand, once one of the first in Europe in terms of sales, has gradually abandoned the F-segment (Fiat 130), the E-segment (Fiat Croma), the D-segment (Fiat Tempra) and the B-segment (Fiat Punto). ). Fiat had a significant market share in most of these segments, especially in the B. In the C-segment, the Fiat Tipo has a small market share compared to the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus, Peugeot 308, Renault Megane and Opel Astra . So there remains the A-segment with the Fiat 500 and Panda, even if the 500L and 500X derivatives are rather to be considered as B-segment models due to their dimensions (but whose market share is very low compared to the old Punto).
- According to Fiat, the Panda will become a family, just like the 500 (500, 500C, 500 Electric, 500L, 500X). In addition, the Panda family will return to the B-segment in 2022, in order to note compete the 500, (the 500L and 500X are planned to disappear). The future Panda will be based on the Centoventi concept and will be available in an electric version, like the 500.
- The wish of the Fiat management is also to apply the Centoventi concept to the C and D segments. The Fiat range will thus be completely rebuilt after its partial destruction under the Marchionne era.
- It is only after this new generation of 500 and Panda that the PSA and Fiat groups will share their platforms and engines, that is to say after 2022.
