Fiat Auto’s strong resurgence in what is presently a very ‘flat’ United Kingdom market, has just been confirmed by its September sales result, up by a remarkable 66 percent year-on-year after 11,411 units were registered. This compares favourably to the same month last year when 6,864 units were sold.

This result was achieved again the backdrop of a market down by 0.7 percent on the same period last year, and it has confirmed an annual trend which shows Fiat sales up 64 percent for the year-to-date. The works out at 47,184 units compared to the same period last year when 28,697 vehicles were sold despite a market which has declined by 3.5 percent during the same period. All of which adds up to make Fiat cars the fastest growing automotive brand in the UK this year. The overall performance is underpinned in particular by the market's demand for the new Fiat Grande Punto range, the new 'supermini' which arrived in the UK during the spring.
 

Commenting on Fiat Auto’s UK performance, managing director, Giulio Salomone, says: “Obviously we are delighted that UK customers have returned to our stylish new products in such an emphatic way, but we are far from complacent. The launch of new Fiat models and variants continues at speed, and next year we will see the arrival of two eagerly awaited cars from the ‘new’ Fiat. First we shall be presenting our C-segment contender, the Fiat Bravo, and late in the year we will present the new Fiat 500, a car that re-interprets Italy’s golden and iconic age of popular motoring in a modern fashion."
