Overview

• Stellantis confirmed on September 22 that the electrified Gladiator will not proceed, with suppliers told the program is terminated effective immediately.
• The canceled pickup had been slated for a 2025 debut as Jeep’s third plug-in hybrid after the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee, with reports pointing to about 375 hp and roughly 20 miles of electric range.
• The company said evolving customer propulsion preferences prompted a reassessment of product plans, removing any electrified Gladiator from the lineup.
• Jeep says it will redirect funding to the Gladiator with more factory content, expanded customization, and additional powertrain choices as the model continues into 2026.
• The decision tracks with Stellantis’ broader pivot away from certain battery-electric truck programs, including shelving a Ram full-size BEV in favor of an extended-range pickup, with some outlets noting expiring U.S. tax credits and soft Gladiator sales as possible influences.
