Stellantis has reported an estimated 1.6 million vehicle deliveries worldwide in the second quarter of 2026. This marks a 10% increase compared to the same period last year, with strong results coming from North America and Europe. However, growth was limited by weaker demand in the Middle East, Africa, and South America.
Strong Performance in North America
North America was the key driver for Stellantis’ growth this quarter, adding around 122,000 units to its deliveries—a 38% increase from Q2 2025. This upswing is attributed to better product availability and strategic inventory management before planned summer plant closures.
- Popular models boosting sales include the Ram 1500 with HEMI V8, Ram 1500 TRX SRT, Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Grand Cherokee, and Chrysler Pacifica.
- The Jeep Cherokee and Dodge Charger SIXPACK began contributing in two-door and four-door formats.
- Electric Charger Daytona sales remained disappointing despite the overall positive trend.
Moderate Growth in Enlarged Europe
In Europe, Stellantis saw a 5% rise in deliveries, adding about 39,000 units compared to Q2 2025. The growth was supported by a stronger electric vehicle lineup and expanded offerings from Stellantis and Leapmotor.
- The Fiat Grande Panda, Opel and Vauxhall Frontera, Citroën C3 and C3 Aircross, all built on the Smart Car platform, increased combined deliveries by 41,000 units, a 51% gain.
- The new Jeep Compass added approximately 8,000 deliveries.
- Sales of four existing B-SUVs—the Peugeot 2008, Opel Mokka, Fiat 600, and Jeep Avenger—declined by nearly 28,000 units.
- Leapmotor models T03 and B10 contributed significantly, with volumes growing by about 25,000 vehicles.
Challenges in Middle East, Africa, South America, and Asia Pacific
The Middle East and Africa region saw a 3% decline, losing roughly 4,000 deliveries. Algeria and Morocco posted gains, but Turkey and Gulf Cooperation Council countries faced significant sales drops, partially due to regional tensions.
South America shipments also decreased by 3%, with a net loss of 7,000 units. Brazil showed growth of around 21,000 vehicles, offset by Argentina’s 25,000-unit drop. The Asia Pacific region remained stable, with deliveries close to last year’s levels at around 16,000 units.
Why It Matters
Stellantis’ overall growth in Q2 2026 signals a recovery in key markets, especially North America and Europe. Improved product availability and the expansion of electric vehicle offerings are helping to drive sales. However, challenges in other regions highlight ongoing market volatility. The company’s ability to sustain this momentum will depend on balancing supply and responding to regional market conditions.
