This is however down -22.3% when compared to pre-pandemic H1 2019.

Finally company sales jump 17.5% to 8,156 for the month and 20.4% to 48,228 so far this year.

The Alfa Romeo Tonale is up to a record #13 at home.
Fiat (-22.6%) lodges a catastrophic performance, completely against the positive market and down to just 9.4% share, a new lowest ever level for the 2nd consecutive month after hitting 9.8% in May. Volkswagen (+11.4%) is now only 1.2 percentage point below at 8.2% for the month. Are we going to see Volkswagen surpass Fiat in Italy? That would be a thunderbolt without precedent in this country. Toyota (-6.6%) stays in third place despite a weak performance, distancing Dacia (-16.1%) and Peugeot (-20.7%) also in a rut. In contrast the rest of the Top 10 brands all beat the market with double-digit year-on-year gains: Ford (+86%) is the most dynamic above Audi (+48.2%), Renault (+30.3%), BMW (+29.5%) and Jeep (+21.1%). Below, notice MG (+444.6%) breaking its monthly volume record, Mazda (+117%), Alfa Romeo (+110.4%), Suzuki (+107.3%) and Volvo (+68.3%) all in outstanding shape.
Illustrating the mediocre performance of the brand, the Fiat Panda (-10.5%) falls to just 4.9% share in June, its lowest since August 2021 (4.7%). The podium is unchanged on May and year-to-date with the Dacia Sandero (+5.3%) at #2 and the Lancia Ypsilon (+16.9%) at #3. The Ford Puma (+245.3%) surges year-on-year to #4 ahead of the Toyota Yaris Cross (+43.2%). All remaining Top 10 models are down, bar the MG ZS (+394%) up a whopping 13 spots on May to crack the Italian Top 10 for the first time at #10. Not far below, the new Alfa Romeo Tonale is up a further five ranks on last month to hit a record #13. It is back to the most successful recent launch in the country (<12 months) ahead of the Jeep Avenger down four spots on last month to #16. The Renault Austral also smashes its ranking record a #31.
