The FCA Giorgio Platform is an automobile platform made by Alfa Romeo since 2015, debuting in the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Although following the merger with Groupe PSA to form Stellantis in 2021 the future of the Giorgio platform became uncertain,[3] the platform is currently being modified to better accommodate both plug-in hybrid, and electric power plants,[4] with not only the hybrid Jeep Grand Cherokee and fully electric Maserati Gran Turismo using the Giorgio platform, but also the future Maserati Levante, and future Giorgio platform cars using the company's V6 engine.[5][6] Some models however, will transition to the STLA Large EV platform.[7][8][9][10]

STLA Large

Stellantis will launch 8 models based on new STLA Large platform between 2024 and 2026 under Dodge, Jeep, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Maserati and other Stellantis brands. The platform will be so called "electric-first", meaning fully electric versions of the vehicles will be introduced before internal combustion versions.[12]
