Stellantis is setting the stage for a transformative Model Year 2026 (MY26), emphasizing innovation, electrification, and value across its vehicle portfolio. At its recent Fleet Preview event in Detroit, Michigan, the automaker unveiled a wide-ranging lineup designed to meet the evolving needs of both retail and fleet customers, with a clear focus on accessibility, sustainability, and advanced technology.
Leading the announcements was the highly anticipated return of the Jeep Cherokee—this time as a full hybrid. This move signifies a key step in Jeep's ongoing electrification strategy, combining its legendary off-road capability with improved fuel efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
In a strategic push for affordability, Stellantis confirmed that three Grand Cherokee trims will be offered at price points under $40,000. This initiative is designed to bring the sophistication and versatility of the Grand Cherokee to a wider range of customers and fleet operators.
Stellantis also introduced two new Wagoneer models:
The iconic Dodge Charger is entering a new era as a fully electric vehicle. One trim will deliver over 620 horsepower, maintaining the muscle car’s performance legacy while integrating cutting-edge EV technology. This marks a significant milestone in Stellantis’ approach to high-performance electrification.

Stellantis is expanding the Dodge Durango lineup to include more cost-effective trims, all priced under $50,000. The move is aimed at delivering greater value in the competitive midsize SUV segment, particularly for budget-conscious fleet buyers.
Highlighting its commitment to connected vehicle technology, Stellantis introduced Mobilisights, a new telematics platform built for seamless integration with third-party fleet management systems. This system supports real-time data access, enabling smarter decision-making and enhanced fleet efficiency.
To address delivery delays and streamline operations, Stellantis is investing in logistics infrastructure. Initiatives include increasing railcar capacity from Mexico to the U.S. and launching a real-time tracking tool—similar to Amazon’s delivery updates—so fleet customers can monitor production and shipping milestones with ease.
Stellantis announced that its Promaster van lineup is projected to achieve a 20% increase in residual value. The improvement reflects strategic design and performance upgrades, offering commercial buyers better long-term value and lower total cost of ownership.
Stellantis is taking a more focused approach to fleet relationships by addressing past concerns and enhancing its value proposition. The company is introducing more competitive, transparent pricing and stronger incentive programs designed specifically for fleet buyers.
Additionally, Stellantis is improving communication and support through dedicated fleet service teams and streamlined ordering processes. These efforts underscore a clear message: fleet customers are strategic partners, and Stellantis is committed to delivering scalable, reliable, and efficient mobility solutions tailored to their needs.
Stellantis’ MY26 roadmap signals a bold shift toward electrified mobility, enhanced connectivity, and broader affordability. By combining innovation with customer-centric strategies, Stellantis is positioning itself as a leader in delivering next-generation transportation solutions that meet the dynamic needs of both retail and fleet markets.
