The next-gen Jeep Wrangler is coming in 2028 and will be offered with an electric powertrain
The UAW has released additional details about their tentative agreement with Stellantis and its chock-full of future products. The big news is a $1.5 billion investment in the formerly idled Belvidere assembly plant. It’s being brought back to life to produce mid-size trucks in 2027. One of the models is expected to be a Ram Dakota successor and the plant is expected to build between 80,000 and 100,000 units annually.
They’ll be joined by range-extended variants that same year and fully electric models in 2027. Both of the eco-friendly variants will ride on the STLA Frame platform, which underpins the Ram 1500 REV. The launch of the EVs in 2027 will also see the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer receive another facelift.
