what car company owns jeep

[EvanFitz]

Jeep is owned by Stellantis, a global automotive conglomerate formed in 2021 from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and the PSA Group. This means Jeep's corporate parent is a massive multinational company that oversees a portfolio of 14 other brands, including Ram, Dodge, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati from the former FCA, and Peugeot, Citroën, and Opel from PSA.

The journey to Stellantis was a long one. The original American company, American Motors Corporation (AMC), owned Jeep until 1987 when it was purchased by Chrysler Corporation. Jeep then remained under the Chrysler umbrella through its merger with Daimler-Benz to form DaimlerChrysler (1998-2007), its subsequent sale to Cerberus Capital Management, and its bankruptcy and restructuring into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (2014-2021). The formation of Stellantis was a strategic move to create scale and share technology, platforms, and purchasing power across a wider range of brands.

For consumers, this ownership structure has significant implications. Being part of a large conglomerate provides Jeep with substantial resources for research and development, particularly in areas like electric vehicles (EVs) and advanced driver-assistance systems. For example, future Jeep models will leverage platforms and EV technology developed across Stellantis, which can lead to more advanced and competitive products. However, some enthusiasts express concern that this could dilute Jeep's unique, rugged identity as it shares more components with other brands in the stable.

Stellantis. It's the big company that resulted from combining Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA Group a few years back. So, while Jeep is as American as it gets, its corporate owner is now a truly global player. You'll see Jeeps sharing parts and tech with vehicles from Ram, Dodge, and even European brands like Peugeot these days. It’s all under one roof now.

As a car guy who follows the industry, the answer is Stellantis. The key thing to understand is the history: Chrysler bought Jeep back in the '80s. Chrysler then merged with Fiat to become FCA, which later merged with PSA to create Stellantis. This corporate structure is crucial because it dictates the platforms and technology Jeep uses. The new Wagoneer S electric SUV, for instance, is built on a Stellantis-wide EV platform.
