Fiat Sales for July 2018

2018 Fiat 500 Urbana

Fiat sales are in for July and show Fiat sold a total of 1,240 cars in the US last month. This compares to 2,244 vehicles sold in July 2017 making for a 45 percent decline. All models posted losses compared to the same month last year including the 500L which had been enjoying a sales renaissance beginning last September. While sales of the 500L were down 37 percent last month, sales of this model are still up 10 percent overall for the year.

Sales of other Fiat models have not fared as well this year with the 500 being off 69 percent, 500X crossovers being down 37 percent and even the 124 Spider, which should be enjoying the convertible selling season, lagging behind 22 percent year-to-date compared to last year.

Fiat 500X Urbana
Fiat 500X Urbana is a new trim level offered on the 500X.


All this news has Fiat enthusiasts scratching their head wondering what Fiat USA is going to do to try to reverse the trend. New trim is being offered on the 2018 500X and 500L models which is nice, but the late availability of the traditional best selling 500 hatch and Cabrio models have severely impacted sales. While the 2018 500 has finally made it into showrooms, it begs the questions are they too late and should they have been called 2019s?
