100 Years of Stellantis in Canada
100 Years of Stellantis in Canada
Posted on May 16, 2025
It all started in 1925, when an ambitious vision took root in Canada’s automotive landscape. Now, a century later, Stellantis is celebrating 100 years of shaping the way Canadians drive, explore, and connect with their country. This remarkable milestone is more than just a celebration of history—it's a tribute to the drivers, workers, and communities that made it all possible.
As the name behind trusted brands like Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, and Ram, Stellantis has spent the last 100 years delivering performance, safety, and innovation. But more than that, it has helped define the Canadian driving experience—from city commutes to cottage getaways and cross-country adventures.
Driving Generations of Canadians
Throughout the decades, Stellantis and its family of brands have become part of the everyday lives of Canadians. From assembling the earliest vehicles in Windsor, Ontario, to launching electrified models that lead in today’s green mobility movement, the company has evolved with the times—and with its drivers.
From the practicality of Chrysler’s family-first designs, to Dodge’s unmistakable performance, Jeep’s all-terrain confidence, and Ram’s uncompromising strength—these are the vehicles that have helped build careers, support families, and fuel exploration across Canada.
This celebration isn’t just about the years that have passed—it’s about the stories that were written behind the wheel. It’s about the trust drivers placed in their vehicles and the connection between the brand and its loyal community.
Moments That Shaped the Journey
Here are just a few highlights from Stellantis’ remarkable 100-year legacy in Canada:
- 1940s – Chrysler Canada shifts focus to wartime production, supporting the Allied Forces.
- 1960s–70s – The Dodge Charger and Challenger emerge as icons in the muscle car era.
- 1983 – The first Chrysler minivan redefines family transportation.

- 2021 – The Stellantis name is born, merging FCA and PSA to create a global mobility powerhouse.
- 2024–2025 – Stellantis leads the charge in EV technology, delivering hybrid and electric models to Canadian showrooms.
Each of these moments highlights the brand’s dedication to responding to the evolving needs of Canadian drivers—with an eye always toward the future.
