Jeep sales have dropped in Europe, from 119,379 so far in 2021 to 91,331 so far in 2022, bringing market share from 1.1% to 0.9%. For Stellantis as a whole, sales are down from 2.2 million to 1.9 million, year to date; market share has dropped from 20.3% to 18.6%.
Volkswagen, the biggest European automaker, saw sales drop from 2.7 to 2.5 million, bringing share down from 25.3% to 24.7%.

One may ask who gained the share the two biggest European automakers lost. Hyundai, whose sales are roughly half those of Stellantis, gained one point—from 8.7% to 9.7%. Renault, the #4 automaker, went up from 9.1% to 9.3%, while Toyota rose from 6.5% to 7.2%. BMW fell slightly, Mercedes was stable, and Ford gained ever so slightly, from 4.5% to 4.7%. Nissan stayed stable, while Volvo, Mazda, and Jaguar Land Rover all lost ground. No other automaker had over 100,000 sales; but even the smaller players stayed the same or lost ground.

David Zatz started what was to become the world’s biggest Mopar site (Allpar) in 1994. After a chemo-induced 2007-2010 break, during which he wrote car books covering Vipers, minivans, and Jeeps, he returned with Patrick Rall to create StellPower.com for daily news, and to set up MoTales for mo’ tales (Chrysler history and “permanent” car and truck pages). He most recently wrote Century of Chrysler, a 100-year retrospective on the marque.
