Stellantis Unveils Two New Models Aimed at Very Different Customers
You may have heard that Stellantis has just pushed back the launch of the Ram 1500 REV and Ramcharger to 2025, but if you don’t need a large, electrified pickup, perhaps you’d be interested in one of the two new vehicles the automaker is introducing this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show—that is if you’re a fashion-obsessed, city-dwelling single or an active family that loves road trips.

2025 Fiat 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition
The Fiat 500e is definitely not enjoying the success that Stellantis anticipated despite being the cheapest electric car in Canada. Following the base (RED) launch edition and the more upscale La Prima model, here comes a new special edition that is the result of an immersive collaboration between Italian fashion mogul Giorgio Armani and the Fiat design team.
Two exclusive colours—Green and Greige—have been specially created for this model, each one reflecting signature Armani hues. The monochromatic exterior is complemented by striking, custom-made wheels in a two-tone anodized finish that incorporate the GA logo.
The interior, inspired by Armani/Casa and the fashion collection, features Chevron stitching and three-dimensional patterns on the central seat inserts along with the GA logo on the front-seat headrests. There’s a laser-cut dashboard insert that simultaneously offers a woodgrain appearance and delivers the soft touch of luxurious fabric, plus the designer’s signature on the metallic trim piece below as well as on the door panels and rear window.
Other than that, it’s the same 500e that generates 117 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque while providing a range of 227 km. The estimated charge time from 0-80 percent is approximately 35 minutes with an 85kW DC fast charger. Going from 0-100 percent takes 4.5 hours with a Level 2 (11kW) AC domestic charger.
The 2025 Fiat 500e Giorgio Armani Collector’s Edition will be available in the first quarter of 2025. Pricing will be announced at a later date.
2025 Chrysler Pacifica FAV Edition
Over at Chrysler, which is a minivan-only company these days, the new model unveiled at the L.A. Auto Show is a Family Adventure Vehicle (FAV) Edition of the 2025 Pacifica. It’s based on the Select trim and fitted with a Thule rooftop box in addition to “FAV” decals on the front doors and blacked-out design cues from the S Appearance package, including 18-inch Foreshadow wheels.
The rooftop box is mounted on black Mopar rails and offers an extra 453 litres of cargo space, increasing the Pacifica’s total cargo capacity to 4,417 litres, and obviously adding plenty of wind noise in the process.
The FAV Edition offers a choice of three exterior colours—Diamond Black, Red Hot and Bright White. Inside, it adds navigation capabilities to the standard Uconnect 5 infotainment system and delivers premium sound with a Harman Kardon audio system that boasts up to 20 speakers—great for rear-seat passengers watching movies. Durable Mopar all-weather floor mats and a large cargo mat in the rear help protect the cabin from spills and the elements.
The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica FAV Edition is available in Canada starting at an all-inclusive price of $58,490. If you want the plug-in hybrid powertrain, it’ll cost you $65,785. The first units are scheduled to arrive at dealerships in the first quarter of 2025.
