The Strategy of Stellantis to Electrify Brazil

In addition to the already launched models Fiat 500 Electric and Peugeot 208 e-GT 100% Electric, Stellantis, through Antonio Filosa, President of the Brand in South America, provided more details about the strategy to bring more electric cars to the country.

Filosa states that electric cars are a trend emerging worldwide, and Brazil cannot be left behind, even though it may be at a slower pace than other markets. As the electric car market is still nascent in Brazil, the idea is to bring electric vehicles from Fiat, Jeep, Peugeot, and Citroën.

Brand President in Latin America Speaks Out

Antonio Filosa claims that electrification is growing increasingly, especially in Asian and European countries. In Brazil, this process may take a bit longer compared to other countries. He states that Stellantis aims to import cars from various brands to better understand the Brazilian market’s acceptance of these new technologies. By the end of 2021, the country is expected to receive the Fiat 500, the Jeep Compass, one Peugeot, and another Citroën.

Thus, we can await the confirmed electric vehicles in the country, such as the models from Fiat, Peugeot, and Jeep, as well as the Citroën model, which has yet to be revealed.

Stellantis’ intention is to boost the Peugeot and Citroën brands, aiming for their electric cars to reach the level of Fiat and Jeep in terms of sales and market share, a strategy that will also apply to the electric vehicle segment.

Possible Electric Cars from Citroën That Should Arrive Soon in Brazil

Citroën has launched the ë-C4, its 100% electric version based on the latest generation of the C4, an electric car that has a high probability of coming to Brazil. Another likely option would be the plug-in hybrid C5 Aircross.

The Citroën ë-C4 features several elements found in other electric cars from the PSA Group, such as a 50 kWh battery and a 136 horsepower motor. This ensures a range of approximately 350 km on a single charge.
