Rev Up Your Engines! Jeeps on a Shocking Spin to 2030
Are you ready for a joyride through the future of Jeep? Stellantis just dropped a bombshell in their latest UAW agreement, giving us the lowdown on the lifecycles of our beloved Wrangler and Gladiator models. Grab your popcorn, because the next-gen electric Jeep is making its grand entrance, and it’s codenamed J70 – because, let’s face it, naming it ‘Electro-Jeep’ would be too basic.
Toledo Assembly Complex: Where Jeeps are Born… and Reborn
Hold on to your steering wheels, folks! The current-gen Wrangler and Gladiator are not ready to retire just yet. Stellantis is keeping the production party going until 2028 at the Toledo Assembly complex. Rumor has it they’re throwing a retirement bash complete with electric sparklers for the PHEV Wrangler and Gladiator in 2025. Upgrade alert: These PHEV models are about to get a facelift that even botox can’t compete with.
Next-Gen Wrangler: J70 – The Electric Maverick
In a move that shocked even the most die-hard Jeep fans, Stellantis spilled the beans on the J70 Wrangler set to strut its stuff in 2028. Brace yourself for the BEV and REPB combo – Range Electric Paradigm Breaker. Yes, you heard it right. This bad boy is not only electric but has a paradigm to break! Picture this: Wrangler doing the electric slide into the future. Stellantis is throwing a cool $1.5 billion into the Toledo Assembly Complex for this electrifying spectacle. Move over, Elon; the Jeep J70 is coming to steal your thunder.
RAM 1500: The REPB Rebel
But wait, there’s more! Stellantis isn’t just electrifying Jeeps; the RAM 1500 is getting the REPB treatment too. How? By revving its engine at certain speeds to charge the battery, because why let the wind have all the fun, right? It’s like having a superhero that recharges by flexing its muscles. Stellantis is dropping another $1.5 billion for this, and we can’t wait to see the RAM 1500 flex its electric muscles on the road.
Detroit Assembly Complex: Where Grand Cherokee Dreams Come True
The Detroit Assembly Complex is getting a makeover too, and it’s not just a fresh coat of paint. The current-gen Grand Cherokee (both 2-row and 3-row models) is set to shine until 2027 and 2028. The next-gen Grand Cherokee is making its debut in 2027, strutting in both ICE-powered and battery-electric styles. It’s like the Grand Cherokee went to a futuristic tailor and got a suit that can do it all.
Indiana Transmission Facility: Powering Up the Future
Hold tight, because Stellantis is investing a cool $900 million in its Indiana Transmission facility. What’s the plan? To turn it into the beating heart of their electric powertrain empire. Electric Drive Motor Gear machining and assembly tech are hitting the floor in 2024, followed by the e-Motor Assembly launching in 2026. Indiana is about to become the Silicon Valley of the automotive world.
Keep Your Eyes on the Road Ahead
Buckle up, Jeepers! The future of off-roading is about to get electrifying. Stellantis is turning the Jeep game upside down, inside out, and probably doing donuts in the process. We’ll be here, riding shotgun, ready to bring you all the shocking updates as Stellantis revs up for the most electrifying decade of Jeeps yet.
