Fiat 500 Sales For October 2015

Fiat 500X Trekking Plus Autumn Colors

Fiat brand October sales were up 1 percent compared to the same month last year. This is the third month in a row that Fiat has netted an overall sales increase. Instrumental in achieving this gain is the new Fiat 500X crossover, whose sales were up 92 percent compared to September.

The 500X has been offsetting 500 hatch / Cabrio and 500L sales, which have been drastically affected by the slowdown in small car sales. Sales of subcompact cars have tumbled as consumers are flocking towards crossovers and SUVs. Cheap gas, the traditional enemy of small car sales has been a major factor in this shift. The 500X has arrived just in time to take advantage of growing crossover market.

A leadership change at Fiat and the introduction of the 2016 model year cars coming up shortly may very well have a positive impact on sales. We'll be watching...
