Stellantis Releases Its Latest Sales Figures–Which Still Kinda Suck
Despite a positive uptick in Jeep and Ram sales, the transatlantic automaker is struggling versus its peers.
On July 1, 2025, Stellantis released its latest U.S. sales figures covering the second quarter of 2025 and let’s just say it wasn’t great news. Overall, sales across all Stellantis brands fell 10 percent in Q2. Not that we’re surprised — this report represents the eighth straight quarter of falling sales. Meanwhile, General Motors’ Q2 sales are up 7 percent, while Ford reports a 14.2 percent increase. That said, there were some bright spots in the Stellantis report, like Ram and Jeep, for example.
Jeep and Ram are goosing Stellantis sales
Stellantis reports that Q2 2025 Ram sales are up 5 percent overall. However, the Ram 1500 is up a healthy 17 percent versus the same period in 2024. Some of Ram’s success is no doubt attributable to the new 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty that was recently announced. That’s not to mention the return of the Hemi V8 engine to the Ram. The company received 10,000 orders within the first 24 hours following the Hemi announcement last month.
Moving on to Jeep, sales were relatively flat year-over-year, with a 1 percent increase for 2025. That said, the Wrangler sold 23 percent more, while the Gladiator picked up a 27 percent bump in sales. It’s likely that the Jeep brand as a whole will perform better going forward once the all-new Cherokee hits showroom floors later this year.
Dodge & Chrysler Have Little to Offer Buyers
So far, these statistics don’t sound too bad, but then we get to Dodge. Dodge sold 48 percent fewer vehicles in Q2 2025 than the same quarter in the prior year. That represents just 25,747 vehicles total in an entire quarter. Most of those sales were Durangos, because, really, what else does Dodge have to sell? Last year, the brand sold a healthy smattering of gasoline-powered “last call” Chargers and Challengers.
Over at Chrysler, the picture looks very similar to Dodge, with 23,175 vehicles minivans sold in Q2 2025, a 42 percent swoon from last year. Fiat and Alfa Romeo sold so few cars in the United States last quarter than it’s almost not even worth mentioning. Between the two brands, 1,606 vehicles were sold in Q2.
Betting on a new CEO
In a nutshell, Fiat and Alfa Romeo probably aren’t worth keeping on the market in the United States, period. And excepting the all-electric Charger, Dodge and Chrysler have little to sell for now but one ancient SUV and a pair of minivans. Jeep and Ram are best assets for Stellantis, but even their sales numbers wouldn’t look so hot if it weren’t for rampant discounting. For example, the “employee pricing” scheme which can amount to a $5,000 or even $10,000 discount for consumers. Presumably, that’s compressing profit margins.
Still, Stellantis is at least attempting to reverese its downward spiral with a new Chief Executive Officer, Antonio Filosa. And it’s nothing less than great news for enthusiasts that Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis (featured above) was appointed as “head of American brands and North American marketing and retail strategy.” That’s a mouthful, but what you really need to know is that Kuniskis plans to bring back SRT products in a big way. “We’re getting the band back together. SRT is another box we needed to check as we head into a product launch cadence, enabling more performance than we’ve ever seen before,” says Kuniskis.
