Noticias ALEJANDRO Posted January 26, 2024 Posted January 26, 2024 Something is changing at Stellantis, that's clear. Being one of the largest manufacturers in the world has its advantages and now they are in full cost-saving policy. That is why almost all of its future models will be based around a few modular architectures, with a surprising capacity for adaptation. If a while ago we talked about the STLA Medium, now it's time to see what will give life to larger vehicles. It is the STLA Large and also focuses on electrification with up to 800 km of autonomy. This architecture is what will be present in most models in the D and E segments, both passenger cars and SUVs. In fact, Stellantis already confirms the launch of eight copies between 2024 and 2026, so it won't take long to find out the news. They will be present in five brands of the group, starting with Jeep and Dodge, and continuing with Alfa Romeo, Chrysler and Maserati. The STLA Large is one of the four global platforms with which Stellantis wants to set the pace for the next decade. Flexibility is one of the keys to the new platform, as it is capable of adapting to all types of vehicles and that is why it will provide a boost to some brands in the North American market. We have talked about the importance of electrification in the STLA Large, but that does not mean that it will stop there. It is confirmed that it will also have hybrid and internal combustion variants to cover all needs. It is also confirmed that high-performance vehicles or true all-terrain vehicles with all-wheel drive can be built on this platform. If we focus on electrification, with the STLA Large we can make electric cars with 400 and 800 volt technology. Front-, rear- or all-wheel drive configurations are also offered; something that is possible thanks to modules that integrate the motor, the power inverter and the gear reduction. There is talk of power levels that can exceed the Stellantis V8 Hellcat (almost 800 HP) and there will be several battery options between 85 and 118 kWh. The largest one is the one that promises 800 km of autonomy. In the most performance models, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h could be approached in 2 seconds and fast charging will be around 4.5 kWh per minute in the 800 volt models. The tuning of the chassis will vary greatly between models, since the STLA Larga can be offered with different suspension modules and with very varied dimensions, always maintaining high rigidity.
