Stellantis Q3 2025 Shipments Rise 13% on Strong North American Growth
Stellantis NV (BIT: STLAM) announced on Friday that its consolidated shipments for the third quarter of 2025 climbed to an estimated 1.3 million units, marking a 13% increase compared to the same quarter last year.
The global automaker reported its strongest performance in North America, where shipments surged by 104,000 units, or 35% year-over-year.
According to Stellantis, this sharp rebound came as inventory levels normalized following last year’s production cuts linked to supply adjustments.
The increase also reflected the initial deliveries of the new HEMI V8-powered Ram 1500, one of the company’s most anticipated models.
Europe Drives Growth With New “Smart Car” Launches
In Enlarged Europe, shipments rose by roughly 38,000 units, representing an 8% annual increase.
This growth was fueled by the production start of four new B-segment “Smart Car” platform vehicles — the Citroën C3, Citroën C3 Aircross, Opel Frontera, and Fiat Grande Panda.
None of these models were in production during the same quarter last year, making them major contributors to Stellantis’ regional gains.
However, these improvements were partially offset by lower Light Commercial Vehicle shipments and slower deliveries in several high-volume European markets.
Strong Performance in Africa and the Middle East
In other global regions, Stellantis recorded a net increase of 10,000 units, or 3% year-over-year growth.
The Middle East and Africa saw particularly strong results, with a 21% increase in shipments.
This was driven by expanded local FIAT production in Algeria and rising demand in Türkiye and Egypt.
South America Sees Minor Decline
Meanwhile, South American shipments slipped 3% year-over-year, equivalent to 7,000 fewer vehicles than in Q3 2024.
Stellantis explained that the drop came against an unusually high comparison base.
In the third quarter of 2024, the company had boosted shipments in Brazil after delays caused by flooding in Rio Grande do Sul during the previous quarter.
Despite this regional dip, Stellantis’ overall performance remained solidly positive, underscoring strong global demand and improving supply stability across key markets.
