Stellantis is the Italian-French group born from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group. Third quarter 2026 shows mixed trends by region, with growth in Europe and declines in other markets.
PARIS – Deliveries slightly down for Stellantis in the third quarter of 2026. The Italian-French group estimated consolidated sales at 1.3 million units, a decrease of 1% compared to the same period of the previous year. The result reflects contrasting trends: growth in wider Europe was offset by lower volumes in North America and the Middle East and Africa.
In wider Europe, deliveries increased by around 54 thousand units, equal to 10% on an annual basis, thanks above all to battery electric vehicles. The Stellantis brands were driven by models based on the Smart Car platform, including Citroën C3 and C3 Aircross, Opel/Vauxhall Frontera and Fiat Grande Panda, with approximately 26 thousand additional units. Positive contributions also came from the new Fiat 500 Hybrid, the new Jeep Compass and electric light commercial vehicles.
Leapmotor is growing strongly, reaching 44 thousand deliveries, approximately 34 thousand more than in the third quarter of 2025, supported by the launch of the B10 and B03X models. The European increases were partially held back by lower volumes of cars such as the Opel Corsa and Mokka, Citroën C4, Alfa Romeo Junior and Peugeot 2008.
Opposite sign in North America, where deliveries decreased by 12%, equal to approximately 47 thousand units. The scheduled summer pauses in production had an impact, especially affecting the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Compass. The decline was mitigated by Ram's performance, which grew by approximately 17,000 units thanks to demand for new and refreshed models, including the Ram 1500 HEMI V8 and Ram 1500 TRX.
In the Middle East and Africa, deliveries fell by 21%, mainly due to the contraction of the Turkish market and the reduction in imports in view of the start of local production of small vans. Algeria and Morocco, on the other hand, recorded positive results.

Stellantis estimates consolidated third-quarter 2026 deliveries of 1.3 million units, down 1% compared to the same period in 2025, with a 10% increase in wider Europe due to electric vehicle growth and a 12% decline in North America due to planned production pauses.
