Stellantis closes 2025 as EU30’s no. 2 carmaker with 2.4m registrations

Stellantis has closed 2025 as the second-largest OEM in the EU30 automotive market, securing more than 2.4 million vehicle registrations and a robust 16% market share, according to year-end figures released by the company.

The group registered 2,421,571 passenger cars and light commercial vehicles during the year, reinforcing its strong competitive position in a European market still grappling with uncertainty and sitting roughly three million units below pre-pandemic volumes.

A major highlight of 2025 was Stellantis’ leadership in the rapidly expanding hybrid segment. The company captured a 15% share of the market, driven by the successful launches of several key models, including the Citroën C3 and C3 Aircross, FIAT Grande Panda, the new Citroën C5 Aircross, the new Jeep Compass and the new Opel/Vauxhall Frontera.

Stellantis again dominated the commercial vehicle space, posting a 28.6% market share. Fiat Professional’s Ducato maintained its position as the best-selling model within the Stellantis Pro One lineup, recording a 0.4 percentage point increase year-on-year. The Compact Van family – comprising the Citroën Berlingo, Fiat Professional Doblò, Opel/Vauxhall Combo and Peugeot Partner/Rifter – also led its segment decisively, commanding a 49.3% market share.

In the passenger car market, Stellantis’ strengths were equally evident. The company ranked No. 1 in the A-segment with the FIAT Panda, while claiming the No. 2 position in the highly competitive B-SUV category. The Peugeot 208 and 2008 both featured in the EU30’s Top 10 best-selling models. Stellantis also secured three of the Top 6 positions in the B-hatch segment, and the Peugeot 3008 delivered impressive momentum, becoming one of the Top 5 C-SUVs with a notable 22.6% growth versus 2024.

Across the region, Stellantis led total sales (PC+LCV) in France, Italy and Portugal, while placing second in major markets including Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, Austria and the Belux region. Sales rose in five of the ten largest European markets: Austria, Belux, Poland, Portugal and Spain.

End-customer demand strengthened significantly throughout 2025, with orders up 8% in the second half of the year and surging 16% in the final quarter. The order bank also grew by 10% compared with 2024, signalling solid momentum heading into 2026.

Reflecting on the results, Emanuele Cappellano, COO Stellantis Enlarged Europe, said:

“Despite ongoing market turbulence and clear demand weakness, at the end of its first five years Stellantis has successfully maintained its second position among the major players in the automotive business, keeping a significant lead over trailing competitors.

“This achievement is the result of a strategy built on our established strengths, such as our traditional leadership in the challenging commercial vehicle market, where Stellantis boasts three models in the Top Ten. Equally important is our competitiveness in the A segment, where the FIAT Panda is the best seller with almost 24% of market share, and in the B-SUV segment – with more than 2.5 million total registrations in 2025 – where Stellantis commands over 20% market share.

“Alongside these consolidated successes, thanks to a clear strategic choice, Stellantis has also secured a new leadership position in the hybrid vehicle segment, overtaking competitors with far greater experience in this market.

“Finally, I want to emphasise that customers are rewarding our choices, as shown by the strong upward trend in orders, particularly in the second half of the year. This is a positive signal for 2026, when Stellantis plans to introduce at least 10 new products.”
