Stellantis has published its full-year 2025 sales figures for the United States. While executives are focused on explaining the 3 percent decline from 2024, the report contains some more unusual details buried in the numbers.
A handful of Americans chose to purchase vehicles that haven’t been produced in years, clearing out some of the oldest remaining stock on dealership lots.
One of the most surprising entries is the Dodge Dart, a compact sedan originally built on Fiat and Alfa Romeo underpinnings. Although production ended in 2016, six new Darts were sold in 2025. For context, that’s a 500 percent increase over the single unit sold the previous year.
Another “zombie” model making a brief comeback is the Dodge Journey (2009–2020), which sold 17 units in 2025. In addition, two Fiat 500Ls (2014–2020) and nine Dodge Grand Caravans (2008–2020) found new owners. These numbers demonstrate that if a vehicle sits long enough on a dealer lot, someone will eventually pay for it.
Unfortunately for Dodge Viper fans, sales of the V10-powered icon finally flatlined, with only one unit sold in 2025. That said, a quick search of dealer inventories shows that a brand-new 2016 Dodge Viper ACR is still available in New Jersey, carrying a staggering price tag of $800,000.
Beyond these unusual outliers, Stellantis delivered a total of 1,260,344 vehicles in the US last year, down 3 percent from 1,303,570 in 2024. The largest declines came from Alfa Romeo (down 36%), Dodge (28%), and Fiat (14%). Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler saw relatively stable sales in comparison.
There was a bright spot in the final quarter of 2025, however, as Stellantis posted a 4 percent year-over-year gain, driven by strong performances from several key models. The Ram 1500 saw sales rise 23 percent, the Dodge Durango more than doubled (up 114%), Jeep’s Wagoneer grew 67 percent, and the Gladiator surged 93 percent.
These gains come amid a significant product transition for Stellantis. In October, the company announced a $13 billion investment over four years, aiming to launch five new vehicles and boost domestic production by 50 percent.
