Does FCA still own Dodge?
No. FCA no longer exists as an independent automaker, and the Dodge brand is now part of Stellantis, the multinational formed by the 2021 merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group.
Understanding this requires a quick look at the corporate shifts that led to Dodge’s current ownership. FCA, once the parent company behind Dodge, merged with PSA to create Stellantis in early 2021. Since then, Dodge has operated as a brand under Stellantis, rather than under FCA. This change affects branding, governance, and regional management, but Dodge remains an active, core brand in the Stellantis portfolio, particularly in North America.
The corporate shift: FCA to Stellantis
What happened to FCA and why it matters for Dodge is tied to the broader consolidation of the global auto industry. The merger between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group created Stellantis N.V., a holding company that oversees a wide array of brands across continents. The completion of the deal in January 2021 officially dissolved FCA as a standalone entity and positioned Stellantis as the owner of Dodge and the other former FCA brands.
The following milestones illustrate the ownership transition and its implications for Dodge:
- Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and PSA Group announce a merger plan to form Stellantis in 2020.
- The merger completes in January 2021, creating Stellantis N.V., with 14 automotive brands including Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, Citroën, Opel/Vauxhall, Maserati, and more.
- Dodge becomes a brand under the Stellantis umbrella, managed through Stellantis North America for its U.S. market and related operations.
- Brand governance, product strategy, and regional operations are coordinated by Stellantis, not by FCA as a separate corporate entity.
In summary, the Dodge brand remains active and is owned by Stellantis, the successor entity to FCA after the merger with PSA.
What this means for Dodge today
Today, Dodge operates as a key brand within Stellantis, with product planning, marketing, and distribution aligned with Stellantis’ global strategy while focusing on the North American market where the brand has its strongest following.
Ownership and brand governance
Dodge is not owned by a separate FCA subsidiary anymore; it is part of Stellantis. The brand sits within Stellantis North America for U.S. operations, while broader brand strategy and global coordination are centralized under Stellantis’ global structure.
Before a list of practical implications, consider these points about how this shift affects consumers and markets:
- Product development and platform sharing are decided within Stellantis’ overall brand portfolio, affecting technology, engines, and platform choices.
- Marketing, dealer networks, and regional distribution in the United States are managed under Stellantis’ corporate umbrella.
- Brand positioning for Dodge—such as performance-oriented models and muscle-car heritage—remains a core focus within Stellantis’ strategy for the brand.
In practice, owners and enthusiasts should expect continuity in Dodge's identity and model lineup, with strategic decisions guided by Stellantis’ global objectives rather than FCA’s standalone plans.
Summary
The short answer is straightforward: FCA does not own Dodge anymore. Dodge is now owned by Stellantis, the company formed after FCA merged with PSA Group in 2021. The Dodge brand continues to operate as a staple of Stellantis’ North American lineup, preserving its distinctive performance-focused heritage while being integrated into Stellantis’ larger corporate structure. For consumers, this means ongoing product continuity and brand stewardship, with future developments steered by Stellantis’ global strategy.
