In the Italian market of August 2021 the effects of state incentives were not seen: too early to verify the extent of these bonuses created specifically to stimulate a sector that would otherwise stagnate given the economic significance of the purchase of a new car. Consequently, the statistics fell by a resounding -27.3%; a percentage that figures more figures less is also found in the data of the various leading brands in Italy.
In a range that varies between -20% and -35% there are several houses like Fiat, Volkswagen, Ford, Jeep, Hyundai, Skoda, Nissan, Seat, Mini, Land Rover, Honda. There are also those who are worse off (Citroen, -60% compared to August 2020, Alfa Romeo, -64%), while some brands have resisted the summer heat waves more.
A clear example is Kia: during the month of August it got the plus sign. The Korean brand sold 13.02% more cars than in August 2020, entering the monthly top ten ahead of Dacia, Audi and Peugeot.
Under the thousand cars delivered, other brands also experienced a positive month: DR Motor, Tesla, Subaru, Maserati, Great Wall. In terms of volume, however, the reduced drops of Toyota (-4%), Lancia (-9%) and Suzuki (-6%) are most affected.
