The positive news for Stellantis is that Jeep’s second-largest SUV experienced a significant increase in sales during Q3. Dodge managed to sell six Darts from July to September, despite having discontinued the compact model in 2016. Sales of the Wagoneer more than doubled, although the Grand Wagoneer did not perform well. Meanwhile, the older Dodge Durango saw a robust 44% increase in sales. Stellantis’ sales report for the third quarter of 2025 shows an overall solid performance, with a 6% year-over-year increase. However, some unusual details hidden in the fine print are attracting attention. For instance, Dodge sold six newly registered Darts, despite the fact this compact sedan stopped production in 2016. This isn't a surprising model revival that you might have missed; rather, it likely indicates that some long-forgotten units have been lingering in dealer inventories and finally found buyers. To put this into perspective, that’s a 500% increase compared to Q3 2024, when only one Dart was sold. Somewhere, a Dart enthusiast is likely celebrating. Interestingly, this occurrence is not rare as Dodge dealers manage to sell a few “new” Darts nearly every year. However, the Dart’s story is merely an interesting detail compared to the real news: Jeep’s Wagoneer, which sold 16,597 units this past quarter, reflecting a staggering 122% increase from the previous year. This jump comes ahead of an upcoming facelift, establishing the Wagoneer as one of Stellantis’ hottest models, far outperforming its larger sibling, the Grand Wagoneer, which saw a 50% drop in sales to only 1,303 units. Additionally, the all-electric Wagoneer S, with 4,163 sales, marked a massive 5,378% increase due to its minimal availability last year, indicating that Jeep’s luxury segment is gaining traction. Across the lineup, there were also other significant fluctuations. The Gladiator pickup saw a solid performance with a 43% rise to 13,113 units, while the aging Dodge Durango gained 44% in sales. Dodge moved over 20,000 units, aided by the availability of V8 engines, which are now rare in the market. Chrysler also made a comeback with its Pacifica minivan, seeing a 30% increase to 28,029 units, and the Voyager returned with 4,388 sales after a hiatus. In contrast, sales for Dodge’s electric Charger were lukewarm, finding 2,776 buyers in Q3, while the older internal combustion engine Charger sold 5,104 units in Q3 2024, along with 3,657 combustion Challengers. Overall, Stellantis reported total sales of 324,825 in Q3, representing a commendable 6% increase in a challenging market, even though there’s a 6% drop in sales from January to September, totaling 928,024 units. What stands out from this period are the peculiarities: a few Darts unexpectedly entering 2025 like time travelers, and the tremendous sales growth of the Wagoneer showcasing Jeep’s competitiveness in the high-end SUV market. This quarter revealed that Stellantis' portfolio is indeed a mix of legacies, innovations, and standout successes.

      A new fastback crossover is set to join the Panda lineup, merging style with practicality at an accessible price.

      Prototype showcases an affordable fastback crossover designed for Panda consumers.

      It is built on Stellantis Smart Car foundations, offering internal combustion, hybrid, and electric options.

      The production model is inspired by the Citroen Basalt available in international markets.

      

      A new era in Fiat’s Panda series is starting to unfold, with fresh variants currently being tested on European roads. Among these is a cost-effective fastback crossover that aims to balance everyday utility with a unique design, to be available with petrol, mild-hybrid, and fully electric powertrains.

      

      The fastback was initially revealed as a concept in early 2024, alongside a hatchback that developed into the Grande Panda, as well as an SUV, pickup, and camper design studies. The prototype spotted during testing is more subdued than the concept, sacrificing some flair for traditional proportions and a more straightforward glasshouse.

      At the front, the connection to the Grande Panda is evident, featuring boxy LED headlights with pixel-like designs, a closed grille, and a single intake positioned low on the bumper. From the side, the extended wheelbase and large alloy wheels provide it with an elongated appearance. The window shape strongly suggests influence from Citroen design, which makes sense given the model’s familial ties.

      

      At the rear, heavy camouflage obscures much of the fastback’s curve, but slim, high-mounted taillights and a license plate on the bumper are visible. A subtle exhaust tip hidden beneath the vehicle indicates that this particular prototype is powered by a combustion engine.

      Despite its shape, the vehicle is not related to the Fiat Fastback available in South America since 2022. Instead, it shares components with another Stellantis offering, the Citroen Basalt, which was introduced in 2024 for markets such as India, Brazil, Argentina, and Indonesia. This model is mechanically connected to the C3 hatchback and C3 Aircross SUV, but has a more coupe-like form.

      Fiat’s latest addition will utilize Stellantis’ Smart Car platform, the same foundation as the Grande Panda, the European-market Citroen C3 and C3 Aircross, and the Opel Frontera.

      

      Engine options are anticipated to include a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine in both standard petrol and mild-hybrid variants, in addition to a fully electric version. While the standard configuration will be front-wheel drive, there is a possibility an all-wheel-drive variant may follow, similar to the forthcoming Grande Panda 4×4.

      Fiat has announced that the entire Panda family will be launched by 2027, with the fastback likely becoming the first of the new models to enter showrooms. An official reveal is anticipated in the coming months.
