05.01.2013 FIAT GROUP AUTOMOBILES ENJOYS FULL YEAR DOUBLE DIGIT GROWTH IN SOUTH AFRICA

FIAT PANDA TREKKING 2013

This year will see the launch of several new Fiat Group vehicles in South Africa starting with the Fiat Qubo next month, the new third-generation Fiat Panda (above in the new 'Trekking' format) in April as well as enhancements to the existing Alfa Romeo range during the course of the year.

 

Fiat Group Automobiles South Africa (Pty.) Ltd. finished 2012 with sales in December of 392 units across the Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Abarth and Fiat Professional model ranges.

December sales closed off the 2012 year for the Italian brands with a total of 4,921 units sold for the year, compared to 4,202 for 2011. The 17 percent increase in sales, claims FGA South Africa, has come as a result of changes to the retail network as well as consolidation within the Chrysler and Fiat Group business operations locally.

The Fiat Group’s December sales highlights for the South African market include the Fiat Punto with 58 percent sales increase versus November, Fiat Doblò Cargo Van with 111 percent and Alfa Romeo 159 sales from final stocks remaining strong at 63 percent increase versus November although FGA South Africa doesn't break down the actually volumes.

This year will see the launch of several new Fiat Group vehicles in South Africa starting with the Fiat Qubo next month, the new third-generation Fiat Panda in April as well as enhancements to the existing Alfa Romeo range during the course of the year. FGA South Africa also hopes to launch the production Alfa Romeo 4C sports car towards the end of the year.
