Stellantis delivers 3.8% first-half sales growth across Europe

Stellantis recorded higher vehicle registrations across Europe during the first half of 2026. The automotive group registered 1.37 million vehicles across the EU30 region during the first six months of the year, a 3.8% increase compared with the same period in 2025, giving it a 16.7% market share.

Including sales from Leapmotor International, registrations increased by 7.3%, with combined market share reaching 17.4% – an improvement of 0.3 percentage points year-on-year.

According to the company, Stellantis and Leapmotor were the only combined automotive group among Europe’s eight largest manufacturers to increase market share during the first half of 2026.

The group maintained its leadership in the A and B passenger car segments across the EU30 market, supported by strong demand for its small vehicle portfolio. Stellantis said sales of its Smart Car range – comprising the Citroën C3 Aircross, Fiat Grande Panda and Opel Frontera – more than doubled compared with the previous year, reinforcing its position in the highly competitive B-segment.

Several of the group’s brands outperformed the wider market, with Fiat registrations increasing by 21.7%, Citroën by 8.3% and Opel by 7.4%.

Stellantis also reported growth across several major European markets, with registrations rising by 7.2% in Germany, 4.7% in the UK, 4.5% in Italy, 1.5% in Belgium and Luxembourg, and 0.8% in Spain. Stronger gains were also achieved in Austria (+31%), Poland (+10.1%) and Portugal (+5.2%).

The company retained its leadership in the European light commercial vehicle sector through its Stellantis Pro One division, which achieved a 28.7% market share. Stellantis also ranked first in the hybrid passenger car market, with a 17.3% share across plug-in hybrid, hybrid and mild hybrid vehicles.

“In line with the objectives set out in our FaSTLAne 2030 strategic plan, we consolidated our leadership in the A and B segments across the EU30 market, where our registrations have increased by 67,000 units year-on-year, rising to 93,000 units when Leapmotor sales are included. Similarly, the Stellantis Pro One family remains firmly at the top of the podium in the highly competitive light commercial vehicle market.”

Italy remained one of the group’s strongest markets, where Stellantis retained the number one position after increasing registrations by 4.5% year-on-year. Five of the country’s six best-selling vehicles were Stellantis models, led by the Fiat Pandina, while Leapmotor emerged as the leading brand in Italy’s battery electric vehicle (BEV) segment.

In France, Stellantis also maintained market leadership with a 28.8% market share. Four of the country’s ten best-selling vehicles came from the group, including the Peugeot 208, which was the nation’s top-selling model during the first half of the year.

Germany also delivered encouraging results, with Opel passenger car registrations rising by 14.5% against a generally improving market backdrop. The Opel Corsa retained its position as the leading model in the city car segment.
