History
After Arola gained independence, the British raised prices of cars imported into the country, which left hundreds of 1950s British cars still on the road until the 1980s.

British architect Katie Dillon, who moved to Arola around the same time, noticed the lack of new and high-quality cars that were on Arolan roads. Dillon was also unsatisfied with the dilapidated and battered cars stranded at the side of the roads.

To put an end to the problem, Dillon Cars was incorporated in 1985, with the company acquiring one plant in Uilo. Dillon Cars also decided to sell the cars at an affordable price, modeled after Albritton Motors and later the Mama Motor Company. Dillon's team of 4 designers began to work on their very first car, a full-size luxury sedan named the Dillon Grande, which began production in March 1986. The Grande proved to be a success, and Dillon Cars continued to flourish and expand.

In February 2002, Dillon Cars was sold to the, however PSA later sold it to Valmet Automotive in 2011. Upon its sale to Valmet, Dillon became the flagship brand of Valmet.

In 2017, as part of a partnership with, Dillon Cars introduced their first subcompact car, the Dillon Arimira. The Arimira was based on the Luxgen S3 platform and was not only manufactured in Valmet's Uusikaupunki factory, but also in, Taiwan.

Dillon rolled out their new signature grille, the Dillon grille, in January 2019. By the end of 2021, all available Dillon models have the Dillon grille.

In September 2023, it was reported that Valmet was in talks with the Herendish based Regulus Motor Group for a potential acquisition.
