Among the 10 best-selling cars in Italy, 3 are produced in Italy
- Italian carmakers have transferred part of their car production mainly to Poland, where Fiat had a very old subsidiary. But it was above all the collapse of the Alfa-Romeo and Lancia brands that forced the Italian car industry to refocus on the giant Fiat. The consequence of this virtual monopoly created a desire among customers for more diversified competition, which caused a growing demand for foreign models and a weakening of Fiat's position in its national soil. In these conditions, the Fiat group only represents 23% of the Italian market in 2020 against 30% in 2005 and 45% in 1995. This significant weakening on its own national market is one of the reasons which pushed Fiat to join forces with another carmaker to avoid disappearing over time.
- Among the ten best-selling cars in Italy in 2020, only three are made in Italy: the Fiat Panda (first sale), Fiat 500X (fourth sale) and Jeep Renegade (sixth sale).
- The other models from abroad are mainly B-segment models: the Lancia Ypsilon (second sale) comes from Poland, the Renault Clio (third sale) comes from Turkey and Slovenia, the Fiat 500 (fifth sale) comes from Poland, the Volkswagen T-Roc (seventh sale) is from Portugal, the Citroën C3 (eighth sale) is from Slovakia, the Dacia Duster (ninth sale) is from Romania and the Opel Corsa (tenth sale) is from Spain.
- In total, 85% of passenger cars sold in Italy are imported from abroad.
