February 2023 report - GERMANY car market

After a sharp decline in January due to the end of subsidies for the purchase of electric vehicles, February allowed the car market to regain some colour with a slight increase of 2.8% to 206,210 units sold. However, as elsewhere, these good figures should be put into perspective with the level of 2019, which shows that the market remains extremely depressed with a fall of 23.30%.

In this context, sales of the

• ALFA ROMEO, up 100.5% to 373 units for a market share of 0.2%.

• CITROËN, up 33.6% to 3,262 units for a market share of 1.6%; and

• DS were down 44.9% to 114 units, giving a market share of 0.1%.

• FIAT fell 1.7% to 5,706 units, giving a market share of 2.8%.

• JEEP were down 28.5% to 761 units for a market share of 0.4%.

• MASERATI 144 units

• OPEL were down 17.6% to 9,637 units for a market share of 0.7%.

• PEUGEOT are up 19.1% to 4,167 units for a market share of 2%.

In total, Stellantis sales were 24,164 units, down % for a market share of 11.72%. Citroën is therefore one of the best performers in the group and the best among the high-volume brands, performing better than the market. Compared to 2019, the brand manages to maintain its market share in Germany, which means that it has not fallen more than the market, which in itself is a good performance because it is not the same in every country.
