What Is Stellantis? The Brands Behind Dodge, Jeep, RAM and Chrysler

Stellantis is the multinational automaker formed on 16 January 2021 by the cross-border merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and France’s Groupe PSA. It owns 14 vehicle brands, four of which Canadians buy every day: Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram (Stellantis, 2021).

If you have shopped for a truck or an SUV in the Edmonton area recently, you have almost certainly seen the name on a warranty booklet or a recall notice without anyone explaining it. This guide covers what Stellantis actually is, which brands it owns, which of those are sold in Canada, and what “a Stellantis dealer” means when you need warranty work or parts.

Key Takeaways
- Stellantis was created on 16 January 2021 through a cross-border merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Groupe PSA, the French group behind Peugeot and Citroën (Stellantis, 2021).
- It owns 14 vehicle brands. Only some are sold in Canada, and the four that reach Canadian dealerships in volume are Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram.
- “Stellantis dealer” is not a separate franchise. In Canada it usually means a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram store, which is what Sherwood Park Dodge Chrysler Jeep is.
- The four brands share one warranty administrator, one parts channel (Mopar) and one factory service network, so coverage follows the vehicle rather than the store that sold it.
- Ram has been a separate brand from Dodge since 2009, which is why a modern truck is a Ram 1500 and not a Dodge Ram.

What Is Stellantis?

Stellantis N.V. is a Netherlands-incorporated automaker created on 16 January 2021 through a cross-border merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and France’s Groupe PSA. The combined company holds a portfolio of 14 vehicle brands and ranks among the world’s largest automakers by volume (Stellantis, 2021).

The deal took just over a year to close. The two groups signed their combination agreement on 17 December 2019, and the merger took effect on 16 January 2021, with FCA as the surviving legal entity. The company was renamed Stellantis the next day. Shares began trading in Paris and Milan on 18 January 2021 and in New York on 19 January 2021.

The name is not an acronym. Stellantis says it is drawn from the Latin verb stello, meaning “to brighten with stars,” a name chosen during the merger process and announced in 2020. The head office sits in Hoofddorp, in the Netherlands, and the shares trade as STLA on the New York Stock Exchange, STLAM on Euronext Milan and STLAP on Euronext Paris.

Both halves were already large groups. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles was itself the product of an earlier combination: Fiat took control of Chrysler after the 2009 restructuring and formally created FCA in 2014. Groupe PSA brought Peugeot, Citroën and DS Automobiles, plus Opel and Vauxhall, which it had bought from General Motors in 2017.

Which Brands Does Stellantis Own?

Stellantis owns 14 vehicle brands: Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge, DS Automobiles, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Ram and Vauxhall. Its own brand list also names Free2move and Leasys, the group’s mobility and leasing businesses, alongside Mopar for parts and service (Stellantis, 2026).

Here is the full portfolio and what each brand is known for.

Mopar deserves its own line because owners deal with it directly. It is not a vehicle brand. It is the group’s parts, service and customer-care operation, and the channel through which genuine parts reach Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram owners.

How Stellantis groups its brands

A flat list of 14 hides the structure. Stellantis sorts them into five portfolios:

Two rows matter to a Canadian buyer. Jeep stands alone, the only brand Stellantis gives a portfolio of its own. Chrysler, Dodge and Ram are managed together as the American portfolio, and that trio plus Jeep is precisely the set a Canadian dealership retails.

Which Stellantis Brands Are Sold in Canada?

Not all 14 brands are sold here. Canadian buyers get Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram through the franchised dealer network most people call CDJR, plus Alfa Romeo and Maserati through their own separate networks. Peugeot, Citroën, DS Automobiles, Opel, Vauxhall, Lancia and Abarth are European-market brands with no Canadian retail presence.

Fiat sits in the middle. Stellantis has maintained the brand in Canada, but the lineup offered here has been small and has changed between model years, so it is worth checking current availability directly with the brand rather than assuming.

That leaves a simple answer to the question most local shoppers are really asking. A Stellantis dealership in Alberta is, in practice, a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram store. Sherwood Park Dodge Chrysler Jeep carries all four of those brands at 230 Provincial Ave, which is why the same building can sell you a Grand Cherokee, a Durango, a Pacifica and a Ram 2500.

Stellantis also builds vehicles in Canada. Its Canadian arm is headquartered in Windsor, Ontario, and the Windsor Assembly Plant has been the long-time home of Chrysler minivan production. Canada is a manufacturing country for this group, not just a sales market.

What Does “Stellantis Dealer” Actually Mean for a Customer?

A Stellantis dealer is a dealership franchised by Stellantis to sell and service its brands. In Canada that usually means a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram store. The practical effect for an owner is one warranty administrator, one parts channel and one set of factory-trained technicians covering four brands.

That matters more than it sounds. Here is what actually changes for you.

Warranty coverage follows the vehicle, not the store

Factory warranty is issued by the manufacturer, so it is honoured at any authorized dealer for that brand in Canada. Buy a Jeep in Calgary, move to Sherwood Park, and your warranty work can be done here. New Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles carry a basic limited warranty plus a longer powertrain limited warranty, with separate terms for diesel engines and for the high-voltage components in electrified models. The exact durations vary by model year and powertrain, so check the coverage listed for your specific build.

Parts run through one channel

Mopar supplies genuine parts and accessories across all four brands. A household with a Wrangler in one stall and a Ram 2500 in the other is dealing with the same parts counter, the same part-number system and the same accessory catalogue. Our parts department orders from that one channel regardless of which of the four badges is on your vehicle.

Recalls and service campaigns are handled the same way

Safety recalls are issued by the manufacturer and performed at no charge by franchised dealers. In Canada, Transport Canada also maintains a public motor vehicle safety recall database you can search by make and model, and Stellantis provides a VIN lookup for open campaigns on its brand sites. If a recall lands on a Dodge and a Jeep in the same driveway, one service appointment can often cover both.

Shared technology across the badges

Uconnect, the infotainment system, runs across the group’s North American brands. So do several engines and transmissions. Learn the menu structure in a Grand Cherokee and you are most of the way to knowing it in a Ram. That shared engineering is the quiet benefit of four brands sitting under one owner.

How Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram Fit Together

The four brands share an owner because they were assembled over a century of consolidation in the American auto industry. Chrysler was founded in 1925, bought Dodge in 1928, gained Jeep by acquiring American Motors Corporation in 1987, and split Ram off from Dodge as its own truck brand in 2009.

Here is the short version of how the group reached its current shape.

The 2009 split is the one that still confuses people. Before then, the truck was a Dodge Ram. Dodge was given the cars and SUVs, Ram was given the pickups and commercial vans, and the badge on the grille changed accordingly. If you own a truck built since 2010, it is a Ram, not a Dodge Ram, even though both brands live in the same showroom.

Today the four brands divide the work fairly cleanly. Chrysler covers minivans. Dodge covers performance cars and SUVs, which is where models like the Dodge Hornet sit. Jeep covers four-wheel-drive SUVs. Ram covers trucks and vans, from the half-ton up through the heavy duty range we compare in our Ram 2500 versus Ram 3500 guide.

What Stellantis Means for a Sherwood Park or Edmonton Buyer

For a local buyer, the practical meaning is narrow. Four of Stellantis’s 14 brands are sold and serviced under one roof in Sherwood Park, which lets one household cross-shop a Jeep against a Dodge and then service both vehicles in the same lane, with the same technicians and the same parts counter.

That changes how you shop. A three-row SUV search does not have to mean visiting two dealerships, because a Grand Cherokee and a Durango can be driven back to back on the same afternoon. A trade from a car into a truck stays inside one brand family. And a mixed-brand driveway, which is common out here, does not mean two service relationships.

It also changes ownership in a place with our weather. Cold-start hardware, block heaters, winter tire fitment and towing setup are shared concerns across the group’s trucks and SUVs, and the same shop handles all of them. We covered the seasonal side of that in our guide to the best truck for Alberta winters.

One last practical point. Because warranty and recall work follows the vehicle rather than the seller, you are not locked to the store that sold you the vehicle. If you bought elsewhere in Alberta and now live closer to Sherwood Park, your coverage comes with you, and so does your recall eligibility. Drivers coming in from the city can book a service appointment online.

Yes. Both are owned by Stellantis. Ram was split from Dodge in 2009 to become a standalone truck brand, which is why a current pickup is a Ram 1500 rather than a Dodge Ram. The two brands still share dealerships, parts and factory service.

Factory warranty coverage follows the vehicle, not the selling store, so any authorized dealer for that brand in Canada can perform warranty and recall work. Genuine parts for all four brands come through Mopar, the group’s shared parts and service operation.

Shopping four brands at once is easier in one building than in four. Visit Sherwood Park Dodge Chrysler Jeep at 230 Provincial Ave, Sherwood Park, AB T8H 0E1, or call (780) 410-4100.
