In total, Stellantis sales are 35,946 units, up 7.29% for a market share of 32.39%. Citroën is therefore the second brand of the Stellantis group in Italy in September thanks to a remarkable performance which allows it to overtake Peugeot. Citroën is also ahead of Dacia, which has met with great success in Italy, but remains ahead of Renault (5,624 units, down 12.19%).

On the model side, the Citroën C3 is the best-selling brand. With 2,655 units, it ranks 4th in sales and first among French cars, representing 55% of Citroën's volumes in Italy. The brand's second sale is the C3 Aircross, which sold 935 units, a short month for Citroën's urban SUV. Finally, the C4 did not enter the Top 50 in September, but neither the Mégane nor the 308 did.
