International automotive brands are expanding their retail presence across Italy through various dealership groups.

In late September, Gino Spa expanded its portfolio in Cuneo, Piedmont, by opening a Lynk & Co showroom and launching a new division, Gino Next, to manage emerging brands. This included the introduction of the LEPAS brand, a Chery Group subsidiary, via a new showroom in the same region.

By early October, further expansions were reported in Monza and Florence. In Monza, G. Villa inaugurated a Lepas showroom featuring the L8 SUV. In Florence, Gruppo GMG SPA opened a facility hosting both XPENG and KGM, showcasing electric mobility and versatile vehicle models such as the XPENG L03 and the KGM Rexton Sports XL.
