On March 13, amid swirling rumors regarding the potential breakup of Stellantis Group and the prospective sale of the Maserati brand, Wang Chao, a member of the Stellantis Group Asia-Pacific Executive Committee and the Vice President of Communications, issued a statement. He clarified that there are no intentions to sell the Maserati brand externally and firmly dismissed the rumors of the group's split as entirely baseless and purely speculative.

Furthermore, there were whispers in the market suggesting that Stellantis is seeking collaboration with Chinese automakers, aiming to bring in Chinese capital to bolster its European operations. It was even reported that the company had already engaged in discussions with Xiaomi Group and XPENG Motors regarding restructuring plans for its European business. When questioned about this, Wang Chao chose to remain tight-lipped and declined to make any comments.

Financial reports reveal that Stellantis experienced a 2% decline in net revenue in 2025. This downturn was attributed to foreign exchange fluctuations and a decrease in net product prices. At present, Stellantis has forged a partnership with Leapmotor, establishing a joint venture named Leapmotor International. The company has ambitions to localize the production of Leapmotor models in Europe.
