The Fiat Panda is the most produced car in Italy in 2025
- Based on production figures calculated for the first 11 months of 2025, Inovev estimated the production volume of each model produced worldwide for the entire year. Here is the Top 20 by model (passenger cars + light utility vehicles) for Italy, which produced just over 500,000 vehicles last year, a 9% decrease compared to 2024, mainly due to the discontinuation of the Fiat 500X (its replacement, the Fiat 600, is produced in Poland) and the end of the Jeep Renegade and Compass, as well as a relatively sharp drop in Alfa Romeo production volume, whose commercial star has become the Junior, produced in Poland.
- The most produced car in Italy remains the Fiat Panda (A-segment hatchback) which has not suffered from the launch of the Fiat Grande Panda (B-segment hatchback) which is rather located at a higher price level and which is in reality the replacement for the old Fiat Punto.
- In the graph below, Inovev has included the production volume of the Fiat Grande Panda produced in Serbia to facilitate comparison with the Fiat Panda. We can see that the Grande Panda, launched in January 2025, has not exceeded 30,000 units produced, while the Fiat Panda has exceeded 130,000 units. The Grande Panda still has a long way to go if it wants to reach a production volume comparable to that of the Panda, or even eventually replace it.
- The second most produced model in Italy is the Fiat Ducato van, followed by the Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Jumper. It's worth noting that vans account for nearly half of Italy's total car production, hence the excellent ranking of these three models. Furthermore, Italy remains the home of grand touring coupes (Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini).

The Opel Corsa is the most produced car in Spain by 2025
- Based on production figures calculated for the first 11 months of 2025, Inovev estimated the production volume of each model worldwide for the entire year. Here is the Top 20 by model (passenger cars + light utility vehicles) for Spain, which produced 2.05 million vehicles last year, nearly 20% of which were utility vehicles (Stellantis, Mercedes, Iveco). Car production in Spain fell significantly last year (-10%), mainly due to the relocation of the Volkswagen Polo (B-segment hatchback) to South Africa. The departure of the Citroën C3 Aircross (B-segment SUV) and Opel Crossland (B-segment SUV), which were transferred to Slovakia, was not at all offset by the arrival of the notoriously unsuccessful Lancia Ypsilon (B-segment hatchback).
- The most produced car in Spain in 2025 is the Opel Corsa (B-segment hatchback) with 200,000 units produced last year, clearly ahead of the Renault Captur (B-segment SUV) which had taken its place in 2024. Indeed, the Renault Symbioz (B-segment SUV) has captured a significant portion of the Captur's customer base in 2025. As a result, the Renault Captur falls from first place to third, behind the Peugeot 2008 (B-segment SUV) which moves up from third to second place in 2025.
- In fourth position, we note the presence of the Seat/Cupra The Leon (C-segment sedan) is progressing thanks to its recent face-lifting and is ahead of the Volkswagen T-Cross (B-segment SUV), Seat Ibiza (B-segment sedan) and Ford Kuga (C-segment SUV), which has now become the only Ford vehicle produced in Spain.
The VW Tiguan is the most produced car in Germany in 2025

The VW Tiguan is the most produced car in Germany in 2025
- Based on production figures calculated for the first 11 months of 2025, Inovev estimated the production volume of each model worldwide for the entire year. Here is the Top 20 by model (passenger cars + light utility vehicles) for Germany, which produced a total of 4.15 million vehicles last year, a slight increase (+2%) compared to 2024.
- According to Inovev, the Volkswagen Tiguan (C-segment SUV) is the most produced model in Germany in 2025, with more than 250,000 units produced, ahead of the Volkswagen Golf (C-segment hatchback) which thus loses its long-held leadership position.
- While the Tiguan is gaining ground, the Golf is losing ground, which could mean that some Golf customers have switched to the Tiguan. Behind these two Volkswagen stars, we find two premium SUVs: the BMW X1 (C-segment SUV) and the Mercedes GLC (D-segment SUV). Next come two premium sedans: the Audi A3 (C-segment sedan) and the Audi A5 (D-segment sedan), which replaces both the previous-generation Audi A4 and A5, explaining this model's strong position in 2025.
- In seventh place is the Tesla Model Y (D-segment SUV), which saw a 32% drop in sales in 2025 compared to 2024, and lost four places compared to the previous year. Next come eight premium models, including four BMWs (1 Series, 5 Series, 3 Series, X2), three Mercedes (E-Class, Sprinter, GLA), and one Porsche (Macan). It's worth noting that the BMW 3 Series (D-segment sedan), a former star of the Top 10, has lost considerable influence, as has the Mercedes C-Class, which doesn't even appear in the Top 20. Further down the list, the Ford Focus, nearing the end of its production run, is only sixteenth, but it's ahead of the Audi Q2 and the top three electric cars in the Top 20: the Audi Q6, VW ID.3, and VW ID.7. The ID.7 has overtaken the ID.4, which has dropped out of the Top 20.

- Based on production figures calculated for the first 11 months of 2025, Inovev estimated the production volume of each model worldwide for the entire year. Here is the Top 20 by model (passenger cars + light utility vehicles) for the United Kingdom, which produced 780 000 vehicles last year, a 13% decrease compared to 2024, due to the closure of the Luton plant (Stellantis) in the first half of the year and the Jaguar plant in the second half.
- The Nissan Qashqai (C-segment SUV) remains the most produced car in the UK in 2025, with 173,037 units produced (official figures), ahead of the Mini One (B-segment hatchback), the Nissan Juke (B-segment SUV), and the Toyota Corolla (C-segment hatchback). Japanese carmakers therefore still hold a significant share of UK production (48% of British production in 2025), despite Honda's departure in 2021.
- Next come the five Land Rover SUVs (Range Rover Sport, Range Rover, Range Evoque, Range Velar, Discovery Sport) which precede the Jaguar F-Pace SUV and the Stellantis group's light utility vehicles, those produced at the Luton site until March 2025 and those produced at the Ellesmere Port site until December 2025. After March 2025, the LUVs that were produced at Luton are produced at the Hordain site in France.
- Jaguar sedans, as well as the F-Type coupe and convertible, were discontinued at the end of 2024. But a small part of British production remains dedicated to luxury cars, such as Aston Martin, Bentley, or Rolls-Royce.
The Toyota Yaris Cross remains the most produced car in France in 2025

The Toyota Yaris Cross remains the most produced car in France in 2025
- Based on production figures for the first 11 months of 2025, Inovev estimated the production volume of each model worldwide for the entire year. Here is the Top 20 by model (passenger cars + light utility vehicles) for France, which produced a total of 1.5 million vehicles last year, a slight increase compared to 2024.
- The Toyota Yaris Cross (a B-segment SUV based on the Yaris) remains the most produced car in France for the fourth consecutive year. Unlike the Toyota Yaris (a B-segment hatchback), which is produced at two different plants in Europe (France and the Czech Republic), the Toyota Yaris Cross is produced at a single European plant, the French plant in Onnaing, in the Hauts-de-France region. Last year, 212,539 units of this model were produced (official figures from Toyota).
- The Toyota Yaris Cross leads the Peugeot 3008 (C-segment SUV), which retains second place with 160,243 units in 2025 (official figures). Three Renault light utility vehicles follow: the Kangoo, Trafic, and Master. It's worth noting that light utility vehicle production has represented around 40% of total car production in France for several years, which explains the strong performance of the three Renault LUVs, market leaders in their respective segments.
- While the Renault Clio (B-segment hatchback) is projected to be the best-selling car in France in 2025, it doesn't appear in the top 20 French-produced cars because it's produced in Turkey. However, the Renault 5 (B-segment hatchback) is projected to be the sixth most produced car in France in 2025 because it's produced exclusively in France. The Renault 5 was also the best-selling battery electric car in France in 2025. The Toyota Yaris is seventh, ahead of the Opel Mokka, Peugeot 308, and Peugeot 5008.
