Stellantis’s EV gamble backfires, prompting a pivot back to combustion

Stellantis says its forecast for rapid EV adoption was wrong, posting a 2025 net loss of $22.3 billion after $25.4 billion in unusual charges tied to its electric transition, canceling several EV programs and admitting weak U.S. EV sales; the company will reallocate more toward internal-combustion and hybrid models while continuing plug-ins, with Ram and Jeep key to return to profitability, and expects 2026 to bring improved execution and growth.

Jeep Cherokee Relaunch Poised to Kickstart Stellantis’s U.S. Sales Rebound

Stellantis is counting on the 2026 Jeep Cherokee, its first traditional hybrid and most fuel-efficient gas‑powered Jeep, to drive a U.S. sales rebound and reach roughly 1.15 million vehicles in 2026 (about a 25% gain). The Cherokee will be produced at Toluca, Mexico, with expansion plans anticipated, and pricing is set around $37,000–$46,000 to compete with rivals like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V.

Stellantis Marks Five-Year Milestone With a Jeep and Ram Turnaround

Five years after the Fiat Chrysler–Groupe PSA merger created Stellantis, U.S. shares have fallen about 43% (Italian listings ~40%), after investor optimism gave way to disappointing results tied to cost cuts and a large EV push; new CEO Antonio Filosa is steering a US-focused turnaround that prioritizes Jeep and Ram to regain market share, while considering shrinking or refocusing other brands. Filosa has pledged a 'year of execution' and will outline further steps at a capital markets day, with recovery hopes pinned on closer dealer relations and a leaner product plan after former CEO Carlos Tavares left in 2024.
