It’s been a weird year for Stellantis. The company hired a new CEO, Antonio Filosa, and navigated an ever-changing regulatory field during the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term.
While a new chief executive settled in, Stellantis navigated tariffs and changes to emissions standards, all while announcing several new and refreshed products to be launched in 2026. In October, the company announced a $13 billion investment into its Midwestern manufacturing plants, promising even more new or refreshed vehicles.
According to Detroit Free Press reporting from 2025, these are the most notable new vehicles coming from Stellantis in 2026, with many of them on display at the 2026 Detroit Auto Show at Huntington Place:
In 2023, Dodge discontinued its popular HEMI-toting lineup of muscle cars: the Dodge Charger and Challenger.
Fast forward to 2026, and Dodge is addressing the MOPAR junkies it dismayed with a lineup of seriously fast and mean-looking Chargers with gas engines. The only problem? The Chargers don’t have a V-8 under the hood. Yet.
Dodge officials have long hinted at the potential for the new Charger to carry a V-8 (and even a supercharged Hellcat engine) under the hood. When the gas-powered Charger was unveiled, a Free Press reporter was told to bust out a tape measure and see whether a HEMI could fit underneath the hood.
It could.
The company has yet to confirm any future V-8 powertrain as it rolls out the new Sixpack Charger, powered by an efficient, turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine called the Hurricane.
Two-door and four-door configurations of the 2026 Dodge Charger (which comes in both a 420-horsepower R/T trim level and a 550-horsepower Scat Pack trim) just recently became available in all 50 states. The Charger was named the North American Car of the Year as the Detroit Auto Show kicked off.
Also going on sale in 2026 is a Jeep with a faster 0-60 time than the Sixpack Dodge Charger.
The Jeep Recon, the brand’s electrified off-roading vehicle that spent years in development purgatory, will finally hit showrooms in 2026, Stellantis said. The Recon boasts a powerful 650-horsepower dual motor powertrain and boxy styling.
The Recon will be compatible with the Tesla Supercharger network, otherwise known as the North American Charging System (NACS). The most powerful Recon, the Moab, will cost $65,000 plus a $1,995 destination charge. 
Let’s talk Hellcats.
Ram is bringing back its Hellcat-powered monster — er, pickup — truck, the SRT TRX, as it takes advantage of potentially lesser emissions standards as the Trump administration deregulates the auto industry.
The TRX is Ram’s most powerful version of the 1500 pickup, boasting 777 horsepower and 680 pound-feet of torque.
Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis said at the media unveiling of the truck that the 2027 TRX will also be faster and more powerful than the previous TRX, which was discontinued after the 2024 model year. The brand anticipates the truck to accelerate from 0 to 60 in approximately 3.5 seconds, with Ram pitching the vehicle as the “fastest and most powerful production gas pickup truck” in the half-ton segment.
During 2025, Ram also shuffled around its EV strategy and played musical nameplates with its now-canceled EV pickup truck and its range-extended alternative, the Ram 1500 REV.
The REV was formerly named the Ram Charger, but as EV support dwindled and electrified pickups from other brands struggled to gain market share, the company saw the writing on the wall, they said, and decided to pivot to a range-extended powertrain instead.
“As demand for full-size battery electric trucks slows in North America, Stellantis is reassessing its product strategy and will discontinue development of a full-size BEV pickup,” the company said in a statement.
They took the name of the fully electric Ram and gave it to the range-extended truck. Ram expects the REV to debut in 2026.
What is a range-extended electric vehicle, you may ask? A REEV has both a gas-powered engine and a large battery pack, but it’s not exactly a traditional hybrid.
The idea is that the Ram 1500 REV will use power from the battery to power the vehicle forward. It will drive and feel like an EV. However, the battery is powered by an internal combustion engine running on gasoline. The battery does not need to be plugged in to be charged (though that is an option). Simply fill up the tank and drive the car.
Range-extended vehicles typically offer high-efficiency returns on fuel costs, without compensating for towing capability — a flaw that hindered many EV pickups. Ram estimates the Ram 1500 REV will bring in 690 miles of driving range on a full tank while pumping out 647 horsepower.
In an exercise of contrasts, Stellantis is also releasing a puny, electrified beach cruiser that technically is not even classified as a car.
The Topolino — which is Italian for “Little Mouse” — will likely be classified as a low-speed vehicle. At less than 100 inches long, touting eight horsepower, 47 miles of range and a teeny 5.5 kWh battery, the Topolino seems best fit for short urban trips, closed campuses or cruising around in a sleepy beach town.
The Topolino is being brought to the U.S. market because brand executives at Fiat noticed that the little guy was popular at auto shows across the country (the Topolino is not on display at the 2026 Detroit Auto Show).
Stellantis has not announced exactly when the vehicle will become available, nor how much it will cost. Fiat sells the Topolino in Europe (depending on the country) at about 9,820 euros, or $11,500.
Ram is also debuting a powerful diesel-powered truck in 2026 to add to its portfolio of halo vehicles.
The 2027 Ram Power Wagon, equipped with a 6.7-liter Cummins High Output engine, will push 470 horsepower and a best-in-class 1,075 pound-feet of torque. Ram estimates the 31-gallon fuel tank will allow for about 600 miles of range.
The vehicle will go on sale in the latter half of 2026, Stellantis said.
There are several Stellantis vehicles on longer timelines that may not debut in 2026, though the company has confirmed they are coming.
For one, Ram’s midsize truck — slated to compete with Ford’s Maverick and the Toyota Tacoma — is no rumor. The vehicle is in development and set to be released in 2027.
The release has been continually delayed, but with the announcement of the $13 billion investment and the ruffling of feathers over which manufacturing plant (and which country) gets to build the truck, rollout will not be until 2027.
Nonetheless, Stellantis’ top brass is hot on the car. Filosa, the CEO, said he has seen clay models and renderings of the vehicle, calling it “beautiful.”
Dodge is also using some of the $13 billion to refresh its popular SUV, the Durango. The Durango is one of the bestselling three-row SUVs in the country and has netted several awards in its current iteration, which has not changed significantly since 2011. The Durango is the only Dodge model to currently house a Hellcat engine from the factory.
Ram has also confirmed it will bring a new SUV to market, deviating from its traditional offerings of pickup trucks and utility vans. The product will be built in Warren, alongside Jeep’s Grand Wagoneer, but will have different styling. The Ram SUV does not have an official name yet.
Chrysler, too, will finally hit the market with a vehicle that is not a minivan. Chrysler CEO Chris Fuell told the Free Press at the brand’s 100-year celebration in 2025 that the storied automaker will return with a brand-new crossover SUV, slated to release in 2027. It will be the first new Chrysler vehicle in more than 10 years.
