SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 3, 2025 – Stellantis is celebrating a significant milestone this spring, gaining ground across the European automotive market and reaffirming its leadership in key vehicle segments, especially hybrids and electric cars.
The global automaker increased its market share in the EU30 region to 17.3% in April, climbing 0.1 percentage points compared to the same month last year. This marks the first time in 2025 that the company has recorded year-over-year growth in total EU30 sales. The Citroën C3 and PEUGEOT 208 stood out among the top ten most-sold models, with the electric Citroën ë-C3 securing a podium spot in the BEV B segment.
Electric and Hybrid Options Power Sales
Stellantis continues to lead the hybrid car category, capturing 15.1% market share in April—an impressive 4.7-point jump from 2024. The hybrid category includes both plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and traditional hybrids (HEVs), offering drivers a smoother path toward full electric mobility.
PEUGEOT is showing remarkable momentum, now the fastest-growing brand in this segment and currently ranked fourth in the hybrid sales chart. “The return to a positive performance in terms of market share is an extremely promising sign for the future and indicates that we are on the right track to recover lost ground," said Luca Napolitano, Commercial Operations Officer for Stellantis. "This indication is supported by the positive trend in order intake, which is proceeding at full speed, and by the confirmation of our leadership in a strategic segment such as hybrid cars, which facilitate the transition to electric mobility. It is significant that even the international press has started to highlight this primacy.”
Consumer Favorites Drive Demand
Order volumes are another clear indicator of Stellantis’ growing consumer appeal. By mid-May, the group had surpassed one million units in order intake. Highlights include:
- Nearly 100,000 units of the Citroën C3 and C3 Aircross
- Approximately 50,000 units of the PEUGEOT 3008
The Citroën C3, launched late 2024, is quickly becoming a favorite among drivers. Napolitano noted, “It quickly climbed the best sellers ranking on the EU30 total market, both in its thermal and electric versions, and finally reached the fifth position in the B segment and the sixth in the passenger car market in April.”
Commercial Vehicle Leadership Holds Strong
Stellantis Pro One also extended its dominance in the commercial vehicle sector, achieving a 31.1% market share in April—up 2.3 points year-over-year. The brand led sales in eight of the top ten EU30 markets, including Germany, France, and the UK.
Regional Standouts Highlight Broader Success
In specific markets, Stellantis’ achievements are even more pronounced:
- Italy: Jeep® Avenger is now the top-selling SUV.
- Germany: Passenger vehicle volumes rose 9.9%, with overall market share increasing 6%.
- France and Portugal: Stellantis maintains leadership in both total and electric vehicle segments.
- UK and Spain: The Opel Corsa remains the #1 city car in both markets. Meanwhile, the Citroën ë-C3 and PEUGEOT e-2008 rank among Spain’s top 10 BEV models.
Additionally, the newly introduced Opel Frontera is quickly gaining popularity in the competitive B-SUV segment. And in Italy and France, Alfa Romeo is enjoying a resurgence, recording its best April in five years with 43% growth compared to 2024.
Napolitano added, “I also believe it is important to underline the progress made in such competitive markets as Germany and the UK, which have achieved significant results in terms of both volumes and market share.”
Driving Forward with Choice and Innovation
With a wide array of popular models and a continued commitment to innovation, Stellantis is clearly delivering what European consumers want—whether that’s hybrid flexibility, full-electric performance, or dependable commercial vehicles. As demand grows and order volumes climb, drivers across the continent are embracing the Stellantis vision of sustainable, versatile mobility.
