Jeep leader Antonio Filosa announced at the Los Angeles Auto Show that Jeep is adding a hybrid-electric gasoline-powered car in 2025. This is not a surprise move for everyone, though it seemed to have surprised a few people…
Automotive News, quoting Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares, reported that Stellantis may review its many marques in 2026 rather than giving them the full ten years promised at the union of Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot. The company’s marques in the United States have, other than Jeep, been starved for product. Dodge has the old Durango and … Read more
Stellantis, which owns the former Chrysler as well as Fiat and Peugeot, is reportedly planning to find a successor to Carlos Tavares for his contract expiration in 2026—according to the respected industry weekly Automotive News. While many liked Tavares’ pledge to give each marque ten years to turn itself around, including Chrysler, Dodge, and Alfa … Read more

Allpar member Nihar has been creating new renders of Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep cars for quite some time, paying attention not just to looks but also to sizes, prices, platforms, and interiors. His renderings are unusual in his attempt to make them as realistic as possible, and to render both interiors and exteriors. This first … Read more
Dodge has already told us that the next generation Charger will be both a two-door and a four-door, on the new STLA Large platform, with both gasoline and battery-electric (BEV) powertrains. However, both announced versions of the Charger would be above the median selling price; the Launch Edition of the electric is over $70,000, and … Read more
Following GM’s longstanding policy of giving buyers of Chevrolet Bolts a home charger, Stellantis will provide a home charger or credits on its national network to buyers of any FCA US battery-electric car—but there is a catch. The device, apparently named after the pioneering band, is dubbed HEVO, an unexplained acronym. The charging station must … Read more
Late last year, the news that the next generation Jeep Wrangler would only be offered as an EV and a hybrid quickly spread across the internet with the same reception that most news about a popular model going all-out-electrification receives. Jeep fans weren’t as unhappy as, say, Dodge Charger fans, but as it generally the … Read more
Apple car dead. Apple, which has been semi-secretly working on making its own electric car in conjunction with a real automaker, today officially cancelled the project. The Apple Car was likely first initiated under Steve Jobs; around 2,000 people were working on it as of this month. The project has been going on for over … Read more
For three decades—since the Viper—Dodge has increasingly conjured images of fire-breathing Hellcats, tire-shredding Demons, and rumbling Hemi V8s that could soundtrack an earthquake. It’s a brand built on brawn—on excess, not dependability (a word Dodge invented), safety, value, or efficiency. Yet, data shows time after time that dependability, safety, value, and efficiency are the biggest … Read more
As time goes on, some have noticed that the Ram 1500 Classic only shows up as a 2023 model in the RamTrucks.com Build & Price section. However, a bit of quick detective work shows that the 2024 Ram 1500 Classic is indeed on the site, just not in Build & Price yet. That is one mystery solved, but then there’s another question that keeps popping up—what happens to the Ram 2500, 3500, and chassis cabs after the 2024 model-year? And will the first-year 2025 Ram 1500 have Hemi V8s after all?
…As for the Ram Heavy Duty series,…
Today, we look at a short list of specifications of the STLA Large chassis platform, relative to the current Dodge Challenger and Charger and the Jeep Wagoneer.
STLA Large will support front-, rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations, with combustion engines in both transverse and longitudinal layouts…
Every sales figure, product release, and rumor from Dodge and Ram seem to bring forth disparaging remarks from people who insist that the company is “digging its own graves by making nothing but BEVs.” Yet, even before the first battery-electric Dodge has been put up for sale, before the Hemi V8 stopped being optional, people … Read more
Earlier today, Stellantis issued a press release on the STLA Large vehicle platform that is to underpin the Dodge Charger Daytona, Jeep Wagoneer S, and other vehicles. Their objective was to highlight the versatility of this platform, which handles both gasoline and battery electric vehicles (BEV), but what caught our attention was a performance figure … Read more
Last week we brought you the news of Dodge “teasing” the next generation Charger in a series of images on social media. We put teasing in quotes because the company didn’t tease the new model so much as give us a pretty clear look at the new Charger from the front, side and rear. It … Read more
There has been very little information about the upcoming all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona while the brand has focused on the 2023 Last Call program. The company has shown off the Charger Daytona SRT Banshee Concept at all of the major auto shows – most recently Detroit – but there has been very little new information. … Read more
