Fiat sales for November were down compared to the same month last year. Fiat sold a total of 1,733 cars last month compared to 2,415 in November 2016, a 28 percent decline. All Fiat models except for the 500L MPV saw sales decline in November.
The 500L MPV recorded a 32 percent sales increase compared to the same month last year. It's the best November the 500L has had since 2015 and the fourth month in a row that the 500L has shown a significant sales increase. For 2018, the 500L has been redesigned with a more upmarket look and enhanced comfort and features which may be making a difference. The 500L gives you full size interior room within its subcompact length. Combine that with lots of storage room, multi-configurable seating and trunk configurations, it's the perfect car for someone who needs a minivan but doesn't want to drive one.
November Fiat and Alfa News
The Alfa Romeo Giulia won the prestigious Motor Trend Car of The Year award. The Alfa Romeo Giulia was picked over the competition not only for its overall performance, value, and design but also for its sheer driving enjoyment.
Additionally, the Alfa Giulia made Car and Driver's "10Best Cars” list for 2018. The list recognizes the best cars on the market under $80,000.
Originally sold only in California and then Oregon, Fiat 500e electric cars are starting to find their way all over the country. The combination of having great economy plus being fun to drive has made the 500e a hot selling used car. We published a list of Fiat dealers across the country (outside of California and Oregon) that can service these neat vehicles.
We also published the full features and options list for the 2018 Fiat 500X crossover.
The Fiat 500's acquisition by the New York Modern Art Museum (MoMA) has earned the Fiat brand the 2017 Corporate Art Awards. The prestigious Corporate Art Awards connects the world of business to the world of art, and is in association with the LUISS Business School with support from the Italian Arts, Heritage and Tourism Ministry, Foreign Ministry and various industrialist, banking and museum associations.
The 2017 edition of the Corporate Art Awards involved 80 companies from 18 countries, and the Fiat 500 is the only vehicle from the automotive industry to receive this award.
