Ram Rampage Sets Course For Europe

Stellantis has officially announced that the Ram Rampage — the brand’s award-winning compact pickup truck built in Brazil — will begin shipping to Europe in 2026. This marks the first time a Ram vehicle developed and manufactured entirely outside North America will be sold on the continent, representing a key step in Stellantis’ global expansion strategy.

Built in Brazil, Bound for Europe –

The Rampage is built at Stellantis’ Goiana Automotive Pole in Pernambuco, Brazil — the same facility that produces the Fiat Toro and Jeep Compass. More than 800 South American engineers and technicians took part in the Rampage’s development, making it a product of Brazilian ingenuity and modern engineering.

Since its debut in 2023, the Rampage has become a smash hit across South America, selling more than 50,000 units and earning 27 automotive awards. Now, the same combination of refinement, power, and technology that won over customers in Brazil is crossing the Atlantic.

According to Stellantis, this export move “represents the recognition that South America can create and produce vehicles with a global standard of quality, technology, and design.”

Two Models for Europe –

European buyers will have two versions to choose from — Rebel and R/T.

• Rampage Rebel: Powered by a 2.2-liter Multijet II turbo-diesel inline-four producing 200 horsepower and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque. This version targets customers looking for capability, efficiency, and durability.

• Rampage R/T: Equipped with the turbocharged 2.0-liter Hurricane4 inline-four gasoline engine, making 272 horsepower and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. It’s tuned for more spirited driving and performance on paved roads.

Both engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, providing a balance between off-road readiness and everyday comfort.

Designed for Global Appeal –

In terms of size, the Rampage is roughly 198 inches (5,028 mm) long, 74 inches (1,886 mm) wide, and 67 inches (1,716 mm) tall — perfect for Europe’s narrower roads. The pickup’s bed can haul about 2,237 lb (1,015 kg), while the diesel model’s payload and efficiency make it ideal for mixed work and leisure use.

Inside, the Rampage offers an upscale cabin with premium materials, soft-touch surfaces, and modern technology like a large touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™, and a fully digital instrument cluster.

Stellantis also loaded the Rampage with Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). Features include:

• Forward collision warning with autonomous emergency braking

• Pedestrian and cyclist detection

• Lane-keep assist

• Blind-spot monitoring

• Rain and light sensors

• Automatic high beams

Safety is further enhanced by seven airbags and available remote start, folding mirrors, and keyless entry.

A New Chapter for Ram –

In South America, the Rampage carved out a new “premium compact pickup” segment — a truck smaller than midsize models like the Toyota Hilux or Ford Ranger, but larger and more capable than car-based crossovers. In Europe, Ram aims to fill that same niche between compact SUVs and midsize pickups, offering utility with a more refined daily-driver feel.

Herlander Zola, President of Stellantis South America, said the Rampage’s arrival in Europe “symbolizes the strength of our engineering and the talent of our teams,” while adding that it highlights Brazil’s “strategic role within Stellantis Global.”

Matias Merino, Stellantis’ VP of Supply Chain for South America, echoed the sentiment: “Rampage symbolizes our region’s excellence by connecting innovation and industrial development, offering Europeans a premium pickup that blends versatility, performance, and urban lifestyle.”

Expanding the Ram Footprint –

For Stellantis, exporting the Rampage isn’t just about bringing another truck overseas — it’s about validating Brazil as a design and production hub capable of building vehicles for global markets.

While Stellantis has not confirmed any plans to bring the Rampage to North America, the model’s success and flexibility could make it a future candidate for the U.S. or Canadian markets — especially as smaller trucks gain renewed attention.

With production humming in Brazil and shipments beginning in 2026, the Rampage is poised to give European buyers a new taste of Ram capability — in a size and style built for their roads.
