Stellantis Shoots For The Stars in 2025
In 2025, the Stellantis group launched a plethora of new vehicles to rekindle interest in some of its brands. Notable launches include the new-generation Dodge Charger EV and SIXPACK, putting the Hemi V8 back in the Ram 1500, and the all-new Cherokee hybrid. All this and more translated into a positive year of sales for the group.
With the year drawing to a close, the Stellantis group took advantage to post strong numbers in the 4th quarter of 2025. In fact, the group increased sales in the U.S. during the 3rd and 4th quarters of the year, up 4% compared to the same period in 2024. In total, the company sold 1,260,000 vehicles in America.

2025 Positives
Some of the key factors that led to the positive sales numbers in 2025 come from the group as a whole. Jeep posted its best-ever December sales figures in three years, Ram came in with a retail sales growth of 17 percent, and the Dodge Durango got its best-ever sales year since 2005, up 37 percent year over year. Even Chrysler, with its sole nameplate on offer, had a good year-end with total minivan sales up 32 percent in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024.
“With consecutive quarterly sales increases and market share growth, it’s clear that we are taking the right steps to reset our business in the U.S.,” said Jeff Kommor, head of U.S. retail sales. “There is still work to do, but we made progress this year with a diversified powertrain lineup, highlighted by the return of the HEMI to the Ram 1500, the all-new Jeep Cherokee hybrid, and the all-electric Jeep Recon. We ended 2025 on a high note and will keep that momentum in 2026 with five new models entering the showrooms now: Jeep Cherokee, Recon, refreshed Grand Wagoneer and Grand Cherokee, and the Dodge Charger SIXPACK.”
Issues and Future Outlook
While sales may have been healthy for the group overall, the total sales number stated above is, in fact, 3 percent lower year on year. It must also be pointed out that 2025 was a year plagued by production recalls that affected some of the group’s sales stalwarts.
We’ve covered multiple recall reports this past 2025, mostly concerning the 4xe electrified models. In fact, in 2025, the entire Stellantis group had to recall 2,776,953 vehicles. It goes without saying that build quality control issues definitely affect sales.
Last October, Stellantis announced a significant $13 billion investment in America over four years – the largest in the company’s 100-year history. It aims to expand vehicle production by 50% in the U.S. and will create additional jobs across its production areas.
