Recap: FCA details 5-
year plans for Jeep,
Ram, Alfa Romeo and
more

Here's a detailed look at what's coming
between now and 2022.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles executives gave a
number of presentations during the
company's Capital Markets Day in Balocco,
Italy, this week. The goal was to give
investors and media an overview of the
business plans for each of FCA's brands,
outlining what's coming, what's going and
when.
Here's our detailed recap of how Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles will change between
now and 2022.

Jeep's new Deserthawk models will command
$5,000 to $10,000 more than the vehicles on
which they're based.

The last time FCA laid out its five-year plan,
CEO Sergio Marchionne said that of all the
brands in the portfolio, Jeep is the most
crucial to long-term global success. That
won't change moving forward, as FCA has
big plans for Jeep between now and 2022.
Ram's Rebel TRX gets the go-ahead for
production and has Ford's F-150 Raptor in its
sights.

Despite its relatively small lineup, Ram plays
a huge role for FCA on a global scale. We
won't see much in the way of overall lineup
expansion, but instead a focus on the brand's
core products.
Alfa Romeo will relaunch the GTV nameplate
on a high-performance hybrid sports car.

Alfa Romeo
The rebirth of the Alfa Romeo brand is still
underway, with the Giulia and Stelvio still
gaining traction in the US. Those core models
will be crucial to Alfa's success moving
forward, but it doesn't mean FCA won't have
some fun with the Alfa brand along the way .
Maserati will offer the new Alfieri in coupe
and convertible variants.

Maserati's rejuvenation hasn't been as
immediate as Alfa Romeo's, and indeed, the
brand's turnaround has taken a lot longer to
execute. Maserati will undergo a number of
changes by 2022 , though its plans are far
less ambitious than FCA's other brands.
A new version of the electric Fiat 500e will
arrive by 2020.

Though it's a relatively low-volume player,
Fiat is still the "F" in "FCA." Though no large
product roadmap was disclosed during the
company's Capital Markets Day, we're told a
brand-new Fiat 500 lineup will launch
between now and 2022.
Chrysler just extended its partnership with
Waymo for autonomous vehicle development.

Chrysler and Dodge
These once-massive nameplates are now
some of FCA's least-important brands. Like
Fiat, no formal Chrysler or Dodge business
plans were laid out this week, though we do
know a few updates.
For starters, FCA is incredibly proud of the
Pacifica and its plug-in hybrid counterpart
and is excited about the recently extended
Waymo partnership .
The current LX-platform cars -- the Chrysler
300, Dodge Charger and Challenger -- will
carry on for the foreseeable future. These
products were originally scheduled to shift to
an Alfa Romeo platform, but those plans
have stalled given FCA's larger focus on
crossovers and SUVs moving forward.
Other news
In addition to these product announcements,
Fiat Chrysler executives discussed a few
other big items. For starters, FCA will
discontinue the sale of diesel engines in all
passenger cars by 2021. Additionally, Ferrari
will supply Maserati with all its future power
trains, including those that use electrification.
And remember, all of this is subject to
change. Looking back at the last FCA five-
year plan , only about half of the new or
updated products came to market on time, if
ever.
