SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 3, 2025 – Stellantis is hitting the fast lane on Europe's roads, not just with more hybrids—but with models that are winning over drivers who care about both sustainability and everyday lifestyle. With a major leap in hybrid vehicle sales and fresh success across key European markets, the company’s latest performance signals that going green is officially going mainstream.
Consumers across the EU30 are making it clear: hybrid cars are no longer niche. Stellantis’ brands—led by PEUGEOT, Citroën, Opel, FIAT, and Alfa Romeo—are at the forefront of this shift. In May alone, hybrid vehicles accounted for 16% of Stellantis’ EU30 sales, a notable 4.9-point jump. For eco-conscious drivers who don’t want to compromise on comfort, style, or affordability, Stellantis is offering some of the most appealing options on the market.
Hybrids You’ll Actually Want to Drive
Unlike the early days of hybrids, when practicality often came at the cost of style or fun, Stellantis’ approach blends innovation with emotional appeal. Models like the PEUGEOT 208 and 2008, Citroën C3, and Opel Corsa combine cutting-edge hybrid tech with sleek designs and driver-friendly features.
Highlights from May 2025 show just how broad their success is:
- PEUGEOT’s hybrid market share jumped by 3.8 points, showing strong consumer demand.
- The new electric Citroën C3 became the top-selling BEV in Spain and second-best in France.
- FIAT Panda continues to reign as Italy’s top overall seller, while the Jeep® Avenger dominates the SUV category.
- The premium segment is heating up too, with Alfa Romeo sales up 31% YTD, led by the stylish Junior B-SUV.
These aren’t just cars for commuting—they’re cars that fit seamlessly into real lives, whether you’re city-hopping in Lisbon, navigating the Autobahn in Germany, or exploring the countryside in Tuscany.
Commercial Vehicles: Going Pro, Sustainably
It’s not just personal mobility that’s evolving. The Stellantis Pro One commercial vehicle line is quietly redefining what it means to run a modern business fleet. With a market share of nearly 30%, these vans and utility vehicles combine performance with lower emissions—a win for companies and the planet.
From small businesses to major logistics players, there’s a growing demand for commercial vehicles that keep operations efficient while helping meet ESG goals. Stellantis is proving you can be both professional and progressive.
Europe’s Love Affair with Stellantis Grows
Stellantis’ hybrid surge is supported by impressive regional momentum:
- In Portugal, Stellantis dominates the overall market—both the PEUGEOT 2008 and Citroën C3 were the best-sellers in May.
- In Germany, the Opel Corsa leads the B-Hatch segment, while maintaining its best-seller crown in the UK.
- Belgium and Austria recorded notable growth, with Belgium reaching its best market share in 20 months.
Add to that an 8% increase in order intake compared to May 2024, and it’s clear that Stellantis’ bet on hybrid variety is paying off. And the timing couldn’t be better: With the first FIAT Grande Panda units just delivered, the brand is poised to keep the buzz going.
