Who makes Dodge now?
Dodge is now made by Stellantis, the global automaker formed in 2021 by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and PSA Group.
As the Dodge brand operates within Stellantis, its vehicles are designed, engineered and produced by Stellantis’ North American operations at various plants in the United States and Canada. The brand has long been synonymous with performance muscle cars, and it continues to evolve under Stellantis’ broader electrification strategy.
