The Fiat Grande Panda finally hits the market! After some complicated months for the brand, marked by production problems in Serbiadeliveries are starting to arrive in larger volumes. As a result, the city car is making a remarkable entry into the European rankings, offering a breath of fresh air to Fiat at the end of 2025.
In Italy: a smashing entry into the top 10
The newcomer hits hardest in its home market. In September 2025, 2,526 units of the Fiat Grande Panda were registered, putting it in 8th place, just behind the Dacia Duster.
This performance is all the more remarkable given that the Grande Panda didn't even appear in the top 50 at the start of the summer. Month after month, its sales curve soared: 1,082 units in July, 1,100 in August, and this spectacular leap in September.
By way of comparison, the "classic" Fiat Panda continues to dominate, with 7,671 registrations in September, but the arrival of its big sister clearly diversifies and strengthens the range. The Fiat 600, meanwhile, continued its ascent with 1,299 units in September.
On the other hand, the Fiat 500, waiting for the hybrid versionis still not in the Italian top 50.
In France: a mixed picture
In France, the Fiat 600 had a good year, with 6,402 units registered between January and September 2025, up +3.6 % on 2024.
The Fiat 500, on the other hand, is in freefall: only 3,348 registrationslations over the same perioda collapse of 81 %.
As for the Panda, our statistics provider still mixes up the Panda and the Grande Panda, but the total is up sharply: 4,324 units in the first nine months of the year (+62 1TP3Q), including 1,066 in September 2025 alone, which suggests that there is some Grande Panda in the mix.
In Spain: the Fiat 600 drives sales
Spain confirms the importance of the Fiat 600 in the brand's strategy. With 4,405 registrations from January to September 2025, it alone accounts for more than 50 % of Fiat sales in the country.
The Fiat Grande Panda is off to a slower start, with 614 units since the start of the year, including 255 in September. The Panda (1,954 units), the 500 (670 units) and the Tipo (337 units) are next in line for the January-September 2025 period.
In Germany and outside Europe: waiting markets
In Germany, September registrations have not yet been published. This will be a key market to watch for Fiat, as it can largely influence the success of the Grande Panda (even if less fond of B-segment models).
Outside Europe, the strategy remains progressive:
- Brazil and Argentina: the Grande Panda is not yet on the market, but an introduction is expected in 2026.
- Turkey: the model is not yet available.
- Algeria: local production to start in September 2025. If you have any sources or figures on this strategic launch, please don't hesitate to share them with us.
- Japan: according to our information from early 2025, it was due to go on sale in the second half of 2025.
Fiat looks to rebound in Europe!
All in all, Fiat hopes that this dynamic will give a boost to its European sales, in decline for several quarters. With the historic Panda holding out, the Grande Panda already in the Italian top 10, and the 600 making solid progress, the last quarter of 2025 could be more favorable. It remains to be seen whether this trend will be confirmed beyond the first internal registrations, and whether the Grande Panda will win over private customers on a massive scale.

Great results finally starting to arrive for Grande Panda. I worry about 600 though, Spanish registrations in Sept down 34% to 91, it was outsold in Sept by its sister the Alfa Junior (Sept registrations 242) . I do realise YTD figures for 600 are good, but thats a hammering for September, and hopefully not a sign of things to come.
The glass half full is good. On the other hand, you have to forget the past, because Fiât sold 3 times as many cars in Europe! This massacre orchestrated by FCA 😳.
