Stellantis announced that the next-generation Jeep Cherokee will be the first U.S. vehicle to utilize the company’s new STLA One modular architecture. Production is expected to begin at the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois, with pilot production in the first half of 2028 and a retail launch in the second half of 2029. This initiative is part of a broader $13 billion U.S. investment plan.
