Stellantis Releases 34% Decline In Latest Q3 Numbers For Canadian Market!

Stellantis (FCA Canada) has released its official sales numbers during the Q3 period of 2021. FCA Canada reported a Q3 2021 total sales of 35,717 vehicles, down 34% from the prior year (54,399 units). For the calendar year, sales total 122,284 units.

“Despite the ongoing global challenges facing our industry, new models from the Jeep® brand were standout performers this past quarter,” said David Buckingham, President and CEO, FCA Canada. “In just five months since going on sale, Jeep Wrangler 4xe has quickly become the second best-selling plug-in hybrid in Canada in Q3. At the same time, we are seeing strong consumer demand for both the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee L and the all-new Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer.”

Jeep® – 

Jeep brand total sales of 15,406 in Q3 represent a 12% decrease compared with the prior year. Leading the way for the brand was the Grand Cherokee, with a 15% sales increase over the same time last year thanks to the launch of the all-new three-row Grand Cherokee L.

The 8 Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer models shown as sold, were sold to FCA Canada employees prior to the official release of the vehicle.

Ram Brand:

The Ram brand suffered a major decline in sales for the Q3 period, with a decline of 44% over the same time last year. This was due to low Ram Truck inventories in dealers because of the semiconductor shortage. 

Chrysler – 

FCA Canada remains the No. 1 seller of minivans in Canada, with a near 50% segment share. With 2,726 vehicles sold in Q3 2021, Chrysler Grand Caravan, Pacifica, and Pacifica Hybrid remain Canada’s best-selling family of minivans.

Dodge –

Even with the volume Journey and Grand Caravan models no longer in the lineup, the Dodge brand decreased 76% over the same time last year. The brand’s current three-vehicle portfolio all had significant gains during Q3 as well, with the Durango leading the way for the brand.
 

Alfa Romeo – 

The Alfa Romeo brand continues to pick up sales in both the U.S. and Canada, after much-needed investment in ad campaigns. The Italian performance brand sold a total of 244 units during Q3, which was a 4% improvement over the same time last year. But still not stellar numbers compared to the core Chrysler Group brands.

FIAT –

With one vehicle in its current portfolio in Canada with the 500X, the Canadian market has continued not to be impressed with the brand’s offerings. So much so, that the discontinued 124 Spider was the best-selling vehicle for FIAT Canada. The 124 outsold the 500X by almost doubling the total number of 500X models sold during Q3.

Only 13 vehicles were sold for the brand during the quarter.
