Fiat is not a standalone parent company that owns other brands in the traditional sense. Instead, it is a key brand within the massive Stellantis N.V. automotive group. Stellantis was formed in 2021 through a merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and the PSA Group. Therefore, Fiat's "corporate family" includes a wide array of famous brands like Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati, alongside European giants such as Peugeot, Citroën, and Opel.
The Stellantis portfolio is strategically organized to cover nearly every segment of the global market. Here is a breakdown of the major brands under the Stellantis umbrella, demonstrating the scale of the organization Fiat is a part of:
| Brand | Core Market / Specialty | Notable Models |
|---|---|---|
| Abarth | Performance (based on Fiat) | 595, 695 |
| Alfa Romeo | Luxury Sport | Giulia, Stelvio |
| Chrysler | Mainstream (North America) | Pacifica, 300 |
| Citroën | Mainstream (Europe) | C3, C5 Aircross |
| Dodge | Performance (North America) | Challenger, Charger, Durango |
| DS Automobiles | Luxury (Europe) | DS 3, DS 7 |
| Fiat | Mainstream (Global) | 500, Panda, 500X |
| Jeep | SUV & Off-Road (Global) | Wrangler, Grand Cherokee |
| Lancia | Mainstream (Europe) | Ypsilon |
| Maserati | Luxury Performance | Ghibli, Levante, MC20 |
| Opel | Mainstream (Europe) | Corsa, Astra |
| Peugeot | Mainstream (Europe) | 208, 308, 3008 |
| Ram | Trucks & Commercial (NA) | 1500, ProMaster |
| Vauxhall | Mainstream (UK) | (Badge-engineered Opels) |
This structure allows for shared technology and platforms—like the common underpinnings for the Fiat 500e and Peugeot e-208 electric vehicles—while maintaining distinct brand identities. For a consumer, this means engineering and innovation can be spread across brands, but the driving experience and style remain unique to Jeep, Dodge, or Alfa Romeo.

If you're thinking of Fiat as a company that owns others, you're thinking of the old Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. That whole company merged with Peugeot's parent to create Stellantis. So now, Fiat is just one brand in a huge lineup that includes Jeep, Ram, Dodge, and even Maserati. It's less about who Fiat owns and more about which brands it's now cousins with under the Stellantis roof.

From a business perspective, Fiat is a marque within Stellantis N.V., one of the world's largest automakers. The portfolio is vast and strategically segmented. You have mass-market brands like Fiat, Peugeot, and Citroën. The North American muscle and truck segment is covered by Dodge and Ram. Jeep leads on SUVs, while Alfa Romeo and Maserati compete in the premium space. This diversification mitigates market risk and leverages shared R&D, particularly in electrification.

As a car guy, the interesting part isn't the corporate structure—it's the garage it represents. Under the Stellantis umbrella, you can trace a line from a rugged Jeep Wrangler to a screaming Dodge Hellcat, a sophisticated Alfa Romeo sedan, and a tiny, chic Fiat 500. They all share resources now, but the engineers work hard to keep their souls separate. It’s a fascinating mix of American power, Italian style, and French practicality all under one corporate banner.
