After detailing the best-selling French nameplates worldwide in 2014, we continue on our study of the nationality rankings with Italy. Note are listed here Italian brands, and therefore the American brands under the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group will be listed under the American nameplates ranking. Expectedly, the Italian nameplates sales charts is dominated by Fiat which holds 13 of the Top 15 spots. However a quick look at the best-sellers shows how critical Fiat’s sales outside of Europe are. The best-selling Italian nameplate in the world in 2014 is, like in 2013, the Fiat Palio – just crowned in Brazil – with just under 360.000 sales including the Siena sedan variant and the Dodge Forza and Vision rebadges. That’s a good 115.000 units above the 2nd best-seller, the Fiat 500 up 8% on 2013 despite its advanced age.

The Iveco Daily is the best-selling non-Fiat Italian model in the world in 2014.

A Light Commercial Vehicle, the Fiat Ducato, takes the third spot with 223.000 sales including its Ram, Peugeot and Citroen twins. In fact, there are five commercial vehicles inside the Italian Top 15, demonstrating the manufacturers’ strength in this segment: the Strada (#4), Doblo (#9), Fiorino (#10) and Iveco Daily (#11) join the Ducato in the ranking. The Panda (+3%) improves while the Punto (-19%) and Uno (-36%) tumble down. The Fiat 500L ranks #8 for its first full year in market, and should be joined by the 500X in 2015. Finally, notice the China-exclusive Fiat Viaggio/Ottimo at #12.
