    Stellantis Gives Us A Sneak Peek At The Upcoming Jeep® Junior Mini-Compact SUV!

    I think Mr.T is only aiming to profitability… so I think that the 3 exFCA SUV produced in Poland will unfortunatly use the poor exPSA 3cyl. 1.2 Puretech instead of the much better 1.5 GSE MHEV P2 « full hybrid ». However, the new 1.2 Puretech with MHEV P2 Punch technology will be able to produce...

    Stellantis Gives Us A Sneak Peek At The Upcoming Jeep® Junior Mini-Compact SUV!

    The little B-SUV won’t be sold in US because of the exPSA platform which is not US compliant. But some rumors says that it weel be available in an AWD version thanks to exFCA Torino’s work. I think this version will be BEV eAWD.

    Stellantis to dismiss its French Permanent Office?

    Maybe, when the French State (via BPi France) will quit the board (it’s an option with Peugeot taking 1.5% of shares, before january 2024), and with the special voting rights at the same time (3 years after the merger), Exor wil have 22% of voting rights, which in IFRS will deem Exor to have...

    Carlos long term 10 year plan to be reveal March 1st

    I think Alfa and Maserati could have V6 sporty options… but BEV will redimension the « power »… a V6 with 800hp will not be a le to compete with BEV 1000-1500hp powertrains…

    Stellantis to dismiss its French Permanent Office?

    The dismission of the French Permanent Establishment of Stellantis (not the principal one in Netherlands, and the other in Italy) seems to be a possibility for Stellantis… It appears in the Annual Report: https://fcagroup-preview.gcs-web.com/static-files/65e33e24-65fd-4159-bd4b-e502c96cb396

    Tavares mentionned a FIAT rebound in US, not a dismission…

    Jeep® Has Introduced Europe To Its All-New Grand Cherokee 4xe!

    This Grand Cherokee is a MASTERPIECE. Manley has done a very good job with Jeep (Maybe the Grand Cherokee is a Marchionne’s job), and a very bad job for the rest.

    Dodge Hornet

    Horrific thèse pictures of Hornet which seems to be a very little more of a simple rebadge… Very bad for both brands… At this point it would be better to not sell the Tonale in US…

    Dodge Hornet

    Those are longitudinal engines and PHEV systems. Not for the transverse platform of Tonale/Hornet. The options for transverse engines like Tonale/Hornet are like other models equiped with transverse motor. The 2.0 270hp of the (small) Cherokee based on FWD transverse platform can be MHEV 48v...

    Dodge Hornet

    With the expected « poor » powertrain offer, I don’t think Hornet will beat Challenger and Durango… I think that it can still sell easily 50k/y in NA. To be a very « bestseller » it needs a 300+hp petrol engine (the 2.0 FCA engine is capable of that) and a « SRT/Hellcat » 400+hp PHEV high end...

    Dodge Hornet

    They need more powerfull 2.0 ICE and 2.0 PHEV. The 1.3 PHEV in a Dodge Sporty CUV is unsaleable un NA… as for Alfa Tonale to… Maybe they should greenlight the Tonale eQuadrifoglio with a 2.0 PHEV option in order to bring it also in the Hornet.

    Alfa Romeo To Unveil Its New Tonale C-SUV In February!

    I think we will see very few ICE (hybrids MHEV or PHEV) models on futur STLA platforms. And only for Americas Stellantis Brasil and FCA US Brands and models.

    Alfa Romeo To Unveil Its New Tonale C-SUV In February!

    I think, he mentionned « Electrified » not BEV. In a French interview he said that there is no BEV Tonale under consideration.

    Alfa Romeo To Unveil Its New Tonale C-SUV In February!

    No BEV on SUSW platform… and no powerfull BEV (only FWD with « little power) on the exPSA sisters too…

    Alfa Romeo To Unveil Its New Tonale C-SUV In February!

    Ok but in the big market for Tonale, a 2.0 ICE 4x4 is unsaleable… and in Stellantis they don’t have an ICE only motor with enough power (to be a true Alfa Q) to fit in their FWD B-C.seg platforms… so the better choice is by far a 2.0 PHEV with a bit less capacity than the 15.5kWh on the Tonale...

    Alfa Romeo To Unveil Its New Tonale C-SUV In February!

    An « easy » Quadrifoglio version is possible with a 2.0 PHEV with possible combined power from 365hp to 490hp. But they need to beat the 420hp of the GLA AMG to be a true Quadrifoglio.

    Alfa Romeo To Unveil Its New Tonale C-SUV In February!

    The 2.0 253hp option for NA is mentionned in the présentation. In NA it will be available in PHEV eQ4 4wd 272hp and 2.0 Q4 4wd 253hp. I estimate 0-60 in 5.6s for 2.0 and 5.9s for PHEV.

    Alfa Romeo To Unveil Its New Tonale C-SUV In February!

    Giulietta is prehistory… The 2.0 without PHEV is unsaleable in Europe, but it’s the good engine for US, but a most powerfull version is needed…

    Alfa Romeo To Unveil Its New Tonale C-SUV In February!

    I think in Europe, outside Italy and South Europe, the only interesting version is the PHEV.
