In a 2012 analysis of the phylogeny of Titanosauriformes, D'Emic (2012) considered "Europasaurus" to belong to Brachiosauridae, instead of being basal to the earliest brachiosaurids. The phylogeny resolved the most true brachiosaurids to date, although several potential brachiosaurids were instead determined to belong to Somphospondyli ("Paluxysaurus", "Sauroposeidon" and "Qiaowanlong"). However, D'Emic was tentative in considering "Europasaurus" to be a confirmed brachiosaurid. While there was strong support in the phylogeny for its placement, "Europasaurus", one of few basal macronarians with a skull, lacks multiple bones that display characteristic features of the group, such as caudal vertebrae. The cladogram below on the left illustrates the phylogenetic results of D'Emic (2012), with Euhelopodidae and Titanosauria collapsed.
