As expected, the European car market began the first month of the year on a negative trend, alternating between rises and falls for several months, reflecting consumer uncertainty. Some 995,271* units were sold, a decrease of 2.1% compared to January 2024. The European market is electrifying with an increase of 34% for electric cars, giving them a market share of 15%, while hybrid cars maintain the advantage they gained in December 2024 with a market share of 34.9%, an increase of 18.4%.
In this context, sales of the
ALFA ROMEO, up 21.3% to 4,792 units for a market share of 0.5%.
CITROËN, down 16.8% to 27,170 units for a market share of 2.7%; and
DS were down 41.1% to 2,191 units for a market share of 0.2%.
FIAT fell 20.4% to 23,608 units, giving a market share of 2.4%.
JEEP fell 9.6% to 10,984 units, giving a market share of 1.1%.
LANCIA fell 73.2% to 1,052 units, giving a market share of 0.1%.
OPEL fell 27.7% to 28,449 units, giving a market share of 2.9%.
PEUGEOT fell by 3.4% to 55,445 units for a market share of 5.6%.
Others (including Maserati, Dodge and Ram) were down 25.2% to 388 units.
In total, Stellantis sold 154,079 units, down 16% for a market share of 15.5%, making the group second in Europe behind the Volkswagen group, but the gap between the two groups has never been so wide, with 11.5 points of market share. As expected, Citroën's sales are down, mainly due to the absence of the C3 Aircross, which penalises the brand because the C3, whose figures are not yet known, should perform well again in January, particularly in France and Italy.
