In Autonoción from time to time we make trips to the past to see how things have changed in recent years. Today we want to take you 20 years back so you can see the sales data and the favorite brands in Italy, a country that although it may not seem like it has undergone important changes.
It continues as always the strength of Fiat but not with the quota of yesteryear and others like Lancia or Alfa Romeo have clearly lost prominence either by range or by volume. Meanwhile, the South Koreans have managed to climb positions and the Japanese have been losing some strength, in part due to not taking care of the supply.
In 2000, no less than 2,426,189 units were sold in Italy, a good figure in relation to the previous year, presenting an increase of 4.06%. For fuels they were times in which the diesel engine was almost mandatory, and no trace of the electric or the hybrids even though Toyota already tried to do something with the Prius (5 units), and Honda with the Insight (other 5 units). Gas did enjoy good sales.

The change in these years has been more than evident, with the only exception of the good sales of Fiat which places several models in the Top10. He Daewoo matiz It was a commercial success in this market and although today the urban ones still enjoy great popularity, there are fewer and fewer alternatives. He Opel Astra I also lived a reality very different from the current one.
The model of cut off-road, crossover or whatever you want to define more demanded in the year 2000 was the Land rover freelander that managed to overcome the barrier of 10,000 units. The Mitsubishi Pajero, Honda HR-V, Nissan Terrano and Opel Frontera it follows in the ranking in a reality very different from the one we live in today.
Some figures for compact models must be qualified since they include the sales of their MPV versions, a hobby that brands had for a long time to get up positions in the general ranking. So both the Renault Mégane as the Citroën C4 and Nissan Almera add the Scénic, Picasso and Tino variants respectively. The large MPVs had much more weight than now, something extendable to the traditional cut saloons.
