Stellantis Turns Up the Heat at the Texas Auto Show

Everything is bigger in Texas — including the 2025 State Fair of Texas, and Stellantis is making sure its presence matches the hype. Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, Ram, FIAT, and Alfa Romeo have all converged on the Texas Auto Show with fresh vehicles, interactive exhibits, and family-friendly fun. From all-new powertrains to classic V8 muscle returning under the hood of Ram trucks, Stellantis is making a statement in Dallas this year.

Fairgoers can check out everything from a concept Chrysler Pacifica built for overlanding, to Dodge’s all-new SIXPACK-powered Charger Scat Pack, to Jeep’s redesigned 2026 Cherokee, and Ram’s heavy hitters like the returning 5.7-liter HEMI® V8. Add in kid-friendly games, thrill rides, and even a HEMI-powered mechanical bull, and Stellantis is making sure no brand goes unnoticed.

Chrysler: A Century of Family-First Design – 

The Chrysler brand is using the Texas Auto Show to celebrate its 100th anniversary. The spotlight is on the Pacifica Grizzly Peak Concept, a lifted, all-wheel-drive version of the award-winning minivan reimagined for overlanding. With rugged styling, unique badging, and adventurous add-ons, it shows that Chrysler can blend family practicality with trail-ready style.

Another highlight is the Stow ‘n Go Challenge, where visitors can race to see who’s fastest at folding Chrysler’s class-exclusive Stow ‘n Go seats. It’s part game, part demonstration of the minivan’s everyday practicality — and a fun way to show why the Pacifica continues to dominate its segment.

Dodge: Muscle Evolves with the SIXPACK – 

Dodge has the performance crowd covered in Dallas. The big debut is the all-new 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack, powered by the twin-turbo 3.0-liter HURRICANE High-Output (H.O.) I6. This beast cranks out 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, launches from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds, and clears the quarter mile in 12.2 seconds. With standard all-wheel drive, it’s the most powerful car in the industry priced under $55,000.

Next to it sits the all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, delivering 670 horsepower, a 3.3-second 0-60 mph time, and an 11.5-second quarter mile — all while offering the practicality of a four-door design. It’s currently the quickest and most-powerful Charger available under $60K.

Dodge also brought along the 2026 Durango SRT HELLCAT Jailbreak. With its supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® HELLCAT V8, it puts family muscle in the spotlight. Customers can customize it with over six million build combinations — from wheels to stripes to calipers — proving that practicality and outrageous performance don’t have to be separate.

Jeep®: The Next Cherokee and Off-Road Adventures – 

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee makes its Texas debut, signaling the next chapter for Jeep’s midsize SUV. The new Cherokee comes with a turbocharged 1.6-liter HYBRID I4 engine, delivering an estimated 37 mpg combined and more than 500 miles of range per tank. It’s efficient, capable, and designed to carry the Cherokee name into the future.

But Jeep isn’t just showing off vehicles — it’s bringing experiences:

• Camp Jeep: A ride-along adventure with professional drivers showcasing steep climbs and rugged descents.

• Corn Hole Game: A Texas-sized version of the fairground favorite.

• Kids Drive Zone: Mini Jeep Wranglers and Ram trucks for kids to drive.

• First-Gen Cherokee Display: A 1983 Jeep Cherokee SJ, reminding fairgoers where the legendary nameplate started.

• Duck, Duck, Guess!: A lighthearted contest to guess the number of rubber ducks for a chance at prizes.

Jeep also has its full lineup on display — Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer, Wagoneer S, and Compass — underscoring its commitment to off-road adventure and family fun.

Ram: The Return of the HEMI –

Ram fans have a lot to celebrate this year. The legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8 is making its comeback in the 2026 Ram 1500 lineup. Now paired with eTorque mild-hybrid technology, the engine delivers 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, complete with a standard GT performance exhaust system that gives it the rumble fans missed.

The 2026 Ram 2500 lineup adds style with new Warlock and Black Express trims, giving Heavy Duty buyers bold looks with serious value. Of course, Ram didn’t leave out its performance halo trucks. The Ram 1500 RHO Thrill Ride returns to the fair, letting fans experience high-speed off-road excitement from the passenger seat.

Interactive Ram experiences include:

• NASCAR Truck Zone with the Ram 1500 NASCAR Concept.

• Bucking HEMI Mechanical Bull Ride, bringing a Texas twist to Mopar power.

• RAMdemption Monster Truck, showcasing Ram’s larger-than-life persona.

• Ram RHO Thrill Ride, offering adrenaline-filled off-road action.

It’s all part of cementing Ram’s image as the truck brand that combines capability, performance, and fun.

FIAT: Italian Style Meets EV Tech – 

FIAT is putting the spotlight on its 500e Inspired by Beauty edition. This special version of the all-electric hatchback mixes timeless Italian design with modern EV practicality. With clean styling and an upscale feel, FIAT shows that small cars can still make a big impact in an SUV-dominated market.

Alfa Romeo: Heritage and Technology Combined – 

Alfa Romeo continues to showcase its push into electrification and performance with the Tonale, a compact SUV that blends over 115 years of Italian design heritage with turbocharged performance and advanced driver assistance technology. It’s a mix of classic Alfa character and modern practicality — something Stellantis wants to remind fairgoers can only come from the brand with the serpent and cross.
