Stellantis, the parent company of brands like Jeep, RAM, and Peugeot, is gearing up to revolutionise electric mobility with its latest innovation: the STLA platforms. The new range, including the recently revealed STLA Frame and STLA Small platforms, promises to underpin the next generation of electrified SUVs and trucks, setting the stage for vehicles with class-leading range and performance.
At EV Performance, we’re always excited to see manufacturers push the boundaries of EV technology, and Stellantis is taking a bold step in making electric SUVs and trucks more capable and versatile than ever.
STLA Frame: Tough and Ready for Action
Designed specifically for larger vehicles like RAM trucks and Jeep SUVs, the STLA Frame platform offers serious performance credentials. With a best-in-class range of up to 500 miles in BEV form—or an astounding 690 miles in hybrid configurations—this platform delivers the versatility drivers demand.
Built on a strong yet lightweight body-on-frame architecture, the STLA Frame supports heavy-duty towing and payload capabilities, making it perfect for utility-focused vehicles. With electric drivetrains delivering high torque and advanced 4×4 systems, we’re looking forward to seeing how these rugged EVs handle off-road adventures and challenging terrains.
STLA Small: Compact, Efficient, and Versatile
On the other end of the spectrum, the STLA Small platform caters to compact vehicles, combining efficient packaging with impressive multi-energy compatibility. This platform supports battery-electric, hybrid, and internal combustion options, giving Stellantis brands the flexibility to offer models tailored to various markets.
STLA Small prioritizes efficiency and affordability while still delivering practical ranges and modern tech, ensuring a robust lineup for city-friendly EVs and smaller crossovers.
A Modular Future
One of the standout features of the STLA platforms is their modular design, which allows them to accommodate a wide range of vehicle types, battery sizes, and powertrains. Stellantis’ focus on multi-energy compatibility reflects their understanding that the transition to electric vehicles isn’t one-size-fits-all, and we’re thrilled to see a strategy that balances innovation with adaptability.
Why This Matters
The STLA platforms signify a major milestone for Stellantis as the company looks to electrify its portfolio by the end of the decade. With these new architectures, the group is laying the groundwork for EVs that offer not just sustainability, but also the performance and practicality consumers expect from SUVs and trucks.
At EV Performance, we’re particularly excited about the potential of electric trucks and rugged SUVs. Vehicles built on the STLA Frame have the potential to deliver the torque-heavy, high-performance driving experience that makes EVs so unique—while still providing the durability and versatility truck and SUV drivers need.
Stellantis is proving that the future of electric vehicles isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about creating platforms that allow for freedom, power, and capability. Whether it’s a family-friendly crossover on the STLA Small platform or a trail-dominating Jeep SUV on the STLA Frame, these new architectures are set to transform what we can expect from electric mobility.
We’re eager to see how this technology translates into real-world vehicles. With the first models expected to roll out soon, the EV revolution in the truck and SUV segment is just beginning—and Stellantis is ready to lead the charge.
