Stellantis occupied more floor space at the 2026 New York International Auto Show than any other manufacturer. Six brands. Gas trucks, electric SUVs, supercharged muscle, an overlanding minivan concept, and a Fiat with Giorgio Armani’s signature. The theme running through the display was choice, not transition. This is a companion piece to our standalone coverage of the Jeep Cherokee and Recon EV and the Ram HEMI return and 777-hp TRX.

Chrysler: Pacifica Gets a New Face, Loses the Plug
The 2027 Chrysler Pacifica made its global debut at the show with a restyled front end. Vertical LED headlamps replace the previous horizontal layout. An illuminated grille with a piano-key LED light bar and an illuminated Chrysler wing badge modernize the approach. There is a catch: only the Select trim and above get the updated face. A base LX trim retains the Voyager design, creating two distinct front ends on the same van.
The bigger change is what’s missing.
Chrysler killed the plug-in hybrid. The Pacifica PHEV is gone for 2027. The sole powertrain is now the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 making 287 hp through a nine-speed automatic, with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive available. Stow ‘n Go seating continues as a segment exclusive.
Pricing starts at $41,495 for the LX and runs to $58,255 for a Pinnacle AWD. The top trim gets Blue Agave Nappa leather, Copper Alloy accents, and a “Parquet” perforation pattern on the seats. An Olive Green exterior color joins the palette. Arrivals begin summer 2026.
The Grizzly Peak concept sat nearby. Based on a Pacifica Limited AWD, it rides 2.75 inches higher on 31-inch BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrain tires with a Rhino-Rack roof platform, Baja Designs LED pods, an ARB retractable awning, and the third row deleted for a flat cargo floor. It is a Chrysler overlanding concept, not a Jeep.
No production plans have been announced.
Dodge: SIXPACK, America250, and 710 Supercharged Horsepower
The Dodge Charger SIXPACK lineup was on the floor with its full multi-energy range. The gas-powered SIXPACK models use a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six in two outputs: 420 hp in the R/T and 550 hp in the Scat Pack. The Scat Pack reaches 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and runs the quarter in 12.2 seconds at 114 mph. Both body styles were present, with the four-door arriving mid-2026. NYIAS marked the debut of Sub-zero, a color exclusive to the show.
| Charger SIXPACK | R/T (2-Door) | Scat Pack (2-Door) |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 3.0L TT I6, 420 hp | 3.0L TT I6, 550 hp |
| 0-60 mph | 4.6 seconds | 3.9 seconds |
| Quarter Mile | 12.9 seconds | 12.2 sec @ 114 mph |
| MSRP (before dest.) | $49,995 | $55,690 |
The Dodge Durango GT America250 made its debut, the first Stellantis production vehicle launched through the America250 bicentennial partnership. It wears star-pattern dual stripes with blue tracer accents, American flag seat embossments, tricolor red-white-blue steering wheel stitching, and Demonic Red seat belts. Powertrain options are the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 at 295 hp or the 5.7-liter HEMI at 360 hp. Pricing starts at $49,590 for the V6 AWD and $51,270 for the HEMI. Orders opened early April.
The Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak also returned to the show floor. The supercharged 6.2-liter V8 makes 710 hp with over six million possible customization combinations across six wheel designs, six paint colors, six badge colors, five stripe designs, five seat colors, and four caliper colors. Pricing starts at $80,590, with the Jailbreak trim at $81,585. It has been on sale since late 2025.
Ram ProMaster City: The Only Mid-Size Van Left
The 2027 Ram ProMaster City fills a gap that no one else is competing for. With the Ford Transit Connect discontinued, it has the segment to itself. The generation moves to a Stellantis platform shared with Citroën, Peugeot, and Opel vans, built in Turkey.
Nearly two feet longer than the previous model at 210.1 inches with 167.1 cubic feet of cargo volume and a 9-foot load floor. A turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder makes 166 hp and 221 lb-ft through an eight-speed automatic. Payload exceeds 2,000 pounds. Towing reaches 2,000 pounds. The height stays under 80 inches, the lowest in Class 2 commercial vans, which matters for parking garages. Pricing targets under $40,000. Orders open in the second half of 2026.
Alfa Romeo Tonale and Fiat 500e Armani
The 2026 Alfa Romeo Tonale showed its refreshed face. A new Dark Miron concave V Scudetto grille draws from the 33 Stradale supercar. Shortened front overhang and wider tracks sharpen the stance. A Sport Speciale trim joins at $41,495 with 20-inch three-hole alloy wheels echoing Alfa’s classic phone dial design, black Brembo calipers, and a contrasting black roof. Like the Pacifica, the PHEV is gone for the U.S. market. The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder at 268 hp with Q4 all-wheel drive is the only option. Pricing starts at $36,995.
The Fiat 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition rounded out the Stellantis presence. Limited to 500 units at $37,495, it wears exclusive Dark Green or Ceramic Greige paint, 17-inch wheels shaped like the GA logo, color-matched synthetic leather interior, and Armani’s signature on the dashboard, doors, and rear glass. The 42-kWh battery delivers 149 miles of EPA range. It is a 2025 model year vehicle, first shown at the 2024 LA Auto Show, displayed here rather than newly revealed.
America250: Patriotic Editions Rolling Out Monthly
Stellantis’s four U.S. brands are the exclusive automotive sponsors of America250, the congressionally chartered organization leading the United States semiquincentennial. Limited-edition A250 vehicles are rolling out monthly through July 4, 2026. Ram launched its A250 appearance package in March. The Durango GT debuted at NYIAS in April. Chrysler and Jeep editions are coming in May and June, details still under wraps.
A “Declaration of Deals” retail campaign accompanies the initiative: buyers choose either 0-percent APR financing or sales tax covered by the brand, plus 90 days with no monthly payments. Tim Kuniskis framed it as fitting the patriotic theme: “This was the perfect time to celebrate our independence and our freedom by giving our customers the choice to either not pay interest or not pay taxes.”
