Stellantis faces delays in model launches and Lancia brand updates

Stellantis is experiencing delays in the rollout of several key vehicle models across its various brands. The Lancia Delta, originally intended for a 2026 release, has seen its timeline pushed back to 2030, with its eventual return currently uncertain. Similarly, the next generation of the DS 4 is facing delays and potential uncertainty.

Electric vehicle timelines have also been extended. The Peugeot e-208, expected this year, has been moved to 2027, while the Opel e-Corsa is now slated for 2028. Other delays include the second generation of the Peugeot 408, now expected in 2029, and the new generation 308, which may not arrive until 2030.

Despite these delays, Stellantis is moving forward with the Lancia brand through a new lineup based on the STLA Medium platform. The upcoming Lancia Gamma, a coupe SUV, will be sold through existing Fiat dealerships to increase brand visibility. The Gamma will offer various powertrains, including a 145 hp mild hybrid and several fully electric versions, with the top-tier all-wheel-drive model producing 375 hp.
