Stellantis confirms the launch of the STLA Large platform in 2024
- The Stellantis group communicated last year on the rationalization of its platforms (at the global level) into four distinct and electrified families (mixed thermal/electric): STLA Small (segment B), STLA Medium (segment C), STLA Large ( segments D and E), STLA Frame (pick-up and large SUV).
- After the launch in 2023 of its mid-range STLA Medium platform (C segment) inaugurated by the Peugeot 3008 SUV and which will be used on other models, such as the future Citroën C5 Aircross, DS 7 or Opel Grandland, the Stellantis group will launch in 2024 – as planned – the high-end STLA Large platform for the carmaker's largest models (D and E segments). However, this platform will not equip the pick-ups and SUVs derived from pick-ups, which will use the STLA Frame instead.
- The eight models that will use this new platform will be badged Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep (for North America) and Alfa-Romeo, Maserati (for Europe). The STLA Large platform will be used on three Jeep models, two Dodge models and one Chrysler model. To this total must be added a specific Alfa-Romeo model and a Maserati model. These models will be marketed in a battery electric version (BEV), in a plug-in hybrid version (PHEV) and/or in a thermal version.
- We can presume that the entire American range will gradually switch to the new STLA Large platform, apart from the Ram pick-up and its SUV derivatives (Dodge Durango, Jeep Wagoneer) which will use a fourth dedicated platform called STLA Frame.
- The factories which will produce these models are known: Windsor (Canada) where the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger are produced and Cassino (Italy) where the Alfa Giulia and Stelvio are produced.
