In the pure electric market, PEUGEOT took the lead in the B-Sedan segment with the 100% electric e-208. The 100% electric PEUGEOT e-2008 compact SUV has also reached the top position in its segment.

In 2023, the electrified range of the brand, already extensive today with 12 models, will be further enriched with the arrival of the New Opel Astra Electric. In this way, Opel is moving fast towards fulfilling its promise to become an all-electric brand in Europe by 2028.
The public rewards the metamorphosis of Alfa Romeo
Alfa Romeo records an extraordinary 2022. December closes a year of constant growth with a 1.4% market share in the last quarter, the best in the last 3 years.
Stelvio and Giulia continue to receive great appreciation from both private and business customers. In particular, Stelvio confirms its leadership in the D-SUV segment for the fourth consecutive year, with a market share of 16.2%, further growth compared to 2021, while Giulia confirms its leadership among non-hybrid sedans in the D segment. And in the next few weeks it will be possible to admire the even more seductive and technological New Giulia and Stelvio at all Italian dealerships.
The absolute star of the year was undoubtedly Alfa Romeo Tonale, the first electrified compact SUV in the brand’s history. Tonale closes 2022 with a record order book that allows the brand to project a 2023 with top ambitions in the segment, thanks also to a range now complete with the introduction of the 280 HP Plug-In Hybrid Q4 versions.
A real “metamorphosis” of the brand, in which Tonale is playing a fundamental role, and in which quality and profitability are leading the brand to the top of the premium segment.
New records for Lancia Ypsilon in 2022
With almost 41,000 registrations (40,991), the Lancia Ypsilon continues to dominate segment B, confirming itself, for the fourth consecutive year, as the best-selling car in its category as well as the second best-selling car overall on the Italian market with 15.3% share, the best ever and up +1.2 percentage points compared to 2021.
