In Q1, the Peugeot 208 is the best-selling car, thus leading the European Top 10 ranking. Other nameplates belonging to Stellantis also includes the Citroen C3 and the Peugeot 2008. In the City Cars (A-segment) category, the Fiat Panda and all-new 500 lead the charts with a share of over 38%. Stellantis also said the Peugeot 208 and Fiat 500 are among the top three best-selling electrified vehicles in their segments.
