Fiat's performance is driven by its core models.

Grande Panda is a key driver in the B-hatch segment, leading in Italy and ranking as the country's third best-selling car overall.
In the electric quadricycle segment, Fiat leads Europe, with Topolino confirming its leadership since last year and achieving its best quarter ever in order collection, up 30% versus last year. Topolino is the market leader in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Belgium.
Fiat Professional reached a 7.6% market share in Europe (EU29) and confirmed its leadership in Italy with a 24.8% share.

Why this matters
FIAT's 21.7% growth and rising market share show the brand gaining momentum in Europe, where it achieved the strongest market-share increase among Stellantis' core brands. The results also underline its leadership in Italy, Brazil and Algeria, with models like the Pandina and 500 leading their segments. For buyers, that means a wider, more popular range of city cars and electric quadricycles across key European markets.
