LAS VEGAS — Stellantis NV's new software platforms supporting advanced automated driving abilities, car-to-phone synchronization, personalized recommendations and even karaoke will debut first in North America on the Chrysler brand.
Its first electric vehicle will launched in 2025. That could mean the STLA (pronounced "Stella") Brain, STLA Smart Cockpit and STLA AutoDrive platforms won't appear on the array of all-electric launches expected from the automaker in 2024 — including for the Ram 1500 truck, a concept version of which will be revealed here on Thursday at the CES consumer electronics trade show; the two-door Dodge Charger muscle car; the Wrangler-inspired Jeep Recon SUV and the smaller Wagoneer SUV going by the codename "S" until the company picks a name from those submitted by enthusiasts.
That's unless Chrysler plans to launch another gas-powered or plug-in hybrid vehicle prior to then. The brand, however, expects to be a fully all-electric make in 2028 with at least three vehicles in its lineup. An inquiry about the rollout of the STLA software platforms was left with the automaker.
