Stellantis has made a truly important decision in the last few hours, the position seems truly definitive.
Stellantis is one of the most important and relevant automotive groups in the world, however, if on the one hand the holding has made headlines for its successes, on the other the news related to its decisions and strategies have often been at the center of controversy.
Let us think about the climate of tension that has recently surrounded the relationship between the company and our country: the discussions on the future of production in Italy, the seizure of the Fiat Topolinos at the port of Livorno, the problems concerning the Italian factories and its employees.
In short, one issue after another that has created quite a few headaches for Stellantis. The company recently had to make a truly drastic decision, this time outside of Italy. It seems that the group born from the merger between FCA and PSA has no intention of backing down on the issue.
Stellantis, decision made: what is it?
Stellantis has announced the cancellation of the new Jeep Compass in India. The car that was supposed to be born is the one with the code name J4U, and apparently it had been in progress for over a year. Unfortunately, however, the project was concluded even before its time. But why? Apparently, it was considered financially unviable for the Indian market. This decision could have a significant impact on the future of Stellantis in India, a strategic country for the company, even if the company has already confirmed that it does not foresee drastic changes in the production of Jeep vehicles in India already on the market.
Although the new generation Jeep Compass will never see the light of day, the Asian country’s market still remains very important for the Italian-French-American brand. Even a company spokesperson, according to Club Alfawould have declared that Stellantis intends to remain committed to investing in the Indian market, also because India is the only country in which four Jeep branded cars are produced and assembled, if we exclude the United States of America.
The current generation of the Compass has been confirmed until after 2026, with restyling planned to extend its existence over the next few years. In short, we are talking about a truly remarkable decision by Stellantis. The current generation of Jeep Compass has an enormous value and this gives us hope for the future. Waiting for further news.
