FIAT accelerates across Europe with 25% sales growth
15 April 2026
FIAT drove the A‑segment with Pandina and 500 in Europe (EU29), confirming over 45,000 sales in the first three months of the year. In Italy, Pandina confirmed its position as best‑seller in the market, with a total of over 37.000 units since the beginning of the year, equal to a 7.6% share of the total market. Together with the 3,700 units of the 500 Hybrid registered since the start of the year, FIAT dominates the A‑segment city-car category with a 57.6% share.
A key driver of FIAT’s strong start is Grande Panda: in the first quarter of 2026, Grande Panda reached over 21,000 sales, showing a rapid and accelerated growth trajectory from its launch.
Grande Panda momentum will also soon benefit from the arrival of the RHD version in the UK market, while in Italy Grande Panda already ranked as the third best‑selling car in the first quarter of the 2026 confirming its strong market impact.
Grande Panda has also been recognised across other key European markets with several awards, among which: the AUTOBEST CONQUEST Award 2026 in the Design category — a title that highlights Grande Panda as the Best Car Design of Europe 2026; “Best Bargain” at the 2026 Top Gear Electric Vehicle Awards in the United Kingdom; and “City Car of the Year” at the 2026 Seguro Directo Car of the Year / Volante de Cristal Awards in Portugal.
FIAT also leads the micromobility sector in the main European countries (EU29), with Topolino dominating sales in the light quadricycle category with over 3,000 units (+10% versus the first quarter of 2025). Further progress is expected in the second quarter, with the introduction of a new version targeting younger customers.
There were also excellent results for FIAT Professional, which in Europe (EU29) in the first quarter reached a market share of 7.4%, up by 0.7 percentage points compared with the first quarter of 2025. In Italy, Fiat Professional confirmed its leadership with over 12,000 registrations, corresponding to a 25.6% market share, and with Ducato and Doblò leading commercial vehicle registrations.
