Tariffs Drag Stellantis Deep Into the Red – and Will Get Worse in 2nd Half, Automaker Warns
Stellantis reported a preliminary loss of $2.7 billion for the first half of 2025 – and the second half is looking to be even worse, the automaker warned Monday, putting much of the blame on Pres.

New Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa isn’t wasting time. He’s shaking up the automaker’s executive ranks – the latest move seeing Ram boss Tim Kuniskis expand his roll to include North American Marketing and Retail Strategy – while also reviving the old Street and Racing Technology division better known simply as SRT.

Stellantis has a new CEO. After a nearly 6-month search, Antonio Filosa steps into the vacancy created by the unexpected resignation of Carlos Tavares last December. The 51-year-old Filosa faces some serious challenges, including weak sales by key brands Ram and Jeep.

While the Detroit Auto Show highlights the more rough-and-tumble Jeep brand, another Stellantis product, Alfa Romeo, made news at the Brussels Motor Show in Belgium. It revealed the new Intensa Special Series for the 2025 Tonale, Stelvio and Giulia. Get details at Headlight.News.
Once one of the most important auto shows in North America, if not the world, the annual Motor City event returned to its original January schedule after a brief summer run. But what has been renamed the Detroit Auto Show is a mere fraction of the size of what it was during its glory days. Headlight.News looks at what has happened — and why.
If you’re wondering just how bad things got for Stellantis last year, consider the fact that its Ram pickup fell off the podium, losing its traditional third-place position in the U.S. sales race – behind the Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Silverado – to Toyota’s RAV4 SUV. Overall, the Euro-American automaker was one of only two manufacturers to report a decline in sales in 2024 and faces serious challenges to turn things around in 2025.
Alfa Romeo prepares to jumpstart its push into the future as the brand releases new teaser video highlighting an updated design language.
Alfa Romeo listens to consumer demand and brings the non-hybrid version of the Tonale to the U.S. while also giving the model a $10,000 discount.
