He registered 139,390 new cars, in slight flexion compared to 2024, but very far from the pre-covid levels. They grow electric and hybrid. Foot for Fiat and Tesla, Peugeot and Byd shine
The car market in Italy is stopped. In May 139,390 new cars were registered according to data from the Ministry of Transport. After two months of growth, albeit light, there was a stop. And so we are over 20% less than the pre-covid values. And the “invented” weigh, the machines that remain awaiting in dealers, especially hybrid and electric.
Auto Market Italy May 2025: Light flexion and general stagnation
In May 139,390 new cars were registered, with a drop of 0.16% compared to the same month of 2024. So despite the movements of March and April looking at the first five months of the year the contraction was, albeit only 0.5% compared to the same period last year. The Promotor Study Center detects signs of weakness also in the dynamics of the application: 97% of dealers signal a low order acquisition, 95% complain of poor turnout in the salons, while 45% signal high stocks.
Floor enrollment for Fiat and Tesla, Peugeot and Byd shine
The situation is heterogeneous between the various brands. Stellantis accuses an overall drop of 6.68%in May, with Fiat who, while remaining the best -selling brand, loses ground both in the month (7%) and since the beginning of the year (almost 10%). Toyota does better that is very close to the top of the ranking. Among the emerging brands, Peugeot (+31.07%), Dacia (+67.75%) and Byd stand out, which touches the 2 thousand monthly enrollments reaching a market share of 1.4%. Collapse of over 20% in May instead for Tesla, as in the rest of Europe.
Boom of ecological cars but worry the invented zero km
In May, the enrollments of ecological cars grow. Electrics reach 5.1% of the market ( +42%) and the plug-in fly to +93% and the full hybrid advance by 12%. Diesel and petrol drop. But here the knot of the invented zero km comes into play. The numbers have been saying for months that the cars are increased cars of the same dealerships, the so-called “zero km” that remain in the squares of dealers. And above all (second dataforce) it is precisely plug-in and electricity. If on average there is talk of 27.4%, for plug-in and electrics it is exceeded 50%. The car market is in a tie in May. But the carved and invented cars risk being a problem to be solved in the future, short.
