This is my understanding of the situation. I may be wrong. Originally they planned much quicker spread of new Maserati products. They have contract for engines with Ferrari. Ferrari must make X engines for Maserati. Unfortunately Maserati didn't reach that X yet. If Maserati reaches X in the future than it's very likely we will see V6 90° for Maserati. Don't forget that in 2014 there was also a 450 HP V6 engine for Maserati. Back then it had 410 HP. But also in the plans was a current 430 HP V6 only for Levante.

I must say that for me future FCA engine development is far from clear. For example diesel engines. SCR underneath the car. Outdated solution. I would expect close coupled SCR from a modern engine. It looks like they have killed future diesel development and than just made quick adaptation of old engines. Also engine portfolio consisting of a 1.3, 1.6, 2.0 and 2.2, is IMO to much. At least one if not two are surplus. Speaking about petrol engines. Well... A lot have changed. A lot will change. Back at the time V6 60° Maserati was supposed to die with a Levante. The plan was to replace it. Most likely with a V6 90°. Why they didn't do that? I don't know. And speaking about GME 6. Who knows what will happen. Maybe they'll cancel it. But IMO if they will introduce than it's very likely that only version will be as hybrid. At least as a mild hybrid. P2 mild hybrid comes to my mind but according to FCA plans they will have P2 mild hybrid in early 2021 and most likely it will be a small GSE.

https://moparinsiders.com/new-details-on-the-2019-fiat-500x-for-north-america/ We are starting to find out even more information on the upcoming 2019 Fiat 500X before it makes its North American debut, thanks to dealer materials from FIAT USA. For the 2019 model year, the Fiat 500X will get the same exterior appearance as its European sibling. The updated exterior look feature new DRL daytime running lights and LED taillights are standard for an even more modern look and consistent with the latest styluses of the 500 family. New Full LED technology projectors, made in collaboration with Magneti Marelli, are also available on request. which in addition to having an unmistakable style 500, ensure a more powerful light – 20% more brightness than the Xenon technology offered on the previous model – significantly improving visibility and ensuring a five times lower power consumption compared to traditional halogen lights. The front and rear fascias have been reworked for the 2019 model year. The front fascia of the Trekking gets an even more aggressive look for its offroad persona. The 2019 Fiat 500X also gets a new lineup of wheels as well. 2019 Fiat 500X wheel choices for North America. (FIAT USA). Inside, not much has changed. There are all-new seat fabrics for the new model year. The instrument panel also receives new easier to read graphics.The instrument panel preserves the division into three circular elements as an ideal combination of retro aesthetics and technological modernity. On the sides there are two analogue dials with tachometer and tachometer, while the center features a reconfigurable 3.5 “TFT display that communicates information to the driver in a simple and immediate way. Underneath the skin, is where is the 2019 Fiat 500X becomes interesting. For 2019, the 500X will get the all-new 1.3-liter turbocharged inline-four cylinder engine that will make its debut in the 500X’s platform mate, the 2019 Jeep Renegade. But unlike the Renegade, the 1.3-liter turbo will be standard on every 500X model for the 2019 model year. While we have talked about the new 1.3-liter a lot on MoparInsiders.com, we are happy to see that the dealer documents show us that new engine’s official output for the North American market. Those numbers will be 180 horsepower and 199 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine will also feature Engine Stop-Start as well. 2019 FIAT 500X Euro-Spec. (FIAT Italia). Another standard feature for the 2019 model year that pushes the 500X above the Renegade, is that it will have standard all-wheel drive (AWD) across the lineup. That’s right, not only will you be able to get a standard turbo, but standard AWD as well. Three models will be available for 2019, Pop, Trekking and Trekking Plus. Trekking Plus can also be optioned with the Urbana Edition appearance package. But here is some of the new standard features for the Pop and Trekking Plus packages that it’s 2018 counterpart didn’t have… 2019 Fiat 500X Pop New Features: Standard 1.3-liter turbo inline-four cylinder engine Standard all-wheel drive Standard Front/Rear Floor Mats Leatherette Steering Wheel & Shifter Knob USB Port Charge & Data Hub (in Rear of vehicle) 2019 Fiat 500X Trekking Plus New Features: Standard 17-inch Matte Black Machined Aluminum Wheels Standard Leather Seats Standard LED Projector Headlamps Standard ParkSense Front Park Assist Standard ParkSense Rear Park Assist Standard Driver/Passenger Door Courtesy Lamps 2019 FIAT 500X Euro-Spec. (FIAT Italia). Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) also makes it into the 2019 Fiat 500X options list on Trekking and Trekking Plus models. LED projector headlamps can also be equipped on Trekking as well. Three new colors are also available for 2019. Milano Ivory, Italia Blue and Vibrante Green. While pricing has yet to be announced, your local Fiat dealer is now able to place orders for the 2019 Fiat 500X. The vehicle should be available in the fourth-quarter of this year.

Yes. It's a new Rapid on MQB A0. Plan is to offer it only as a hatchback. It should be much more spacious than Golf. With a simpler mechanics. Finally it will not be narrow as a B segment car. IMO. This is a real competitor for a Fiat Tipo. On this class will also come new Citroen C4 on the future.

>600 CV?

That's not true. Initial cost of development was around 2.5 billions of euros. 5 billions is a number necessary for a complete Alfa revival. This is ridiculous. You really believe in such a stories? LOL BTW. Modular approach is already thing of the past. P.S. In VAG Group I see a lot of old badge engineering. Not su much modularity.

Why is FCA in around 5%. EBIT margin for Q2 was 5.7%. FCA data is also wrong for a Q" 2017. Back then margin was a 6.7%. "Honest" Germans.

Have you ever read a official document related to a FCA platform development? I don't think you have. Every platform is updated for a newer product. Improved crash zone, newer materials to improve both torsional rigidity and lower BIW mass...

They say a MY2021. That's a calendar 2020. And it's nothing new to a people which carefully listened every Earnings Conference Call.

I thought that a new X3 has a McPherson upfront. Speaking about torsional rigidity. 15% more compared to a F30 should be around 15% less compared to a Giulia.

? Macan, 265/40 anteriore, 295/35 posteriore Stelvio, 235/55 R19

It makes no sense before the next generation. There is no tariff from Mexico. BTW. If it's not in the new plan which two Jeep models are in this plan?

Alfa C SUV? Jeep D LOW segment 3 row SUV?

P4 PHEV 180+60=240 2.4 -> 1.3 turbo

Where? I cans see only 3 nameplates for a 12V P1F mild hybrid. That can be called a micro hybrid. Most likely a 500, a Panda and a 500 Giardiniera.

2.65 m That's identical to Škoda Vision X concept and next generation Škoda Rapid. At least we know which brand will use that version of MQB A0 in Europe.

Renegade PHEV in the new 5 year plan is described as a P1P4 PHEV. P4 is a e-axle.

http://www.jeeppress-europe.com/press/article/all-new-jeep-wrangler-1 New powertrains for the all-new Jeep Wrangler The Wrangler engine range is enhanced with the introduction of two new engines - the 2.2-litre MultiJet II turbo diesel and the 2.0-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder petrol engine. Both join the 3.6-litre V-6 Pentastar engine upgraded for the new Wrangler and already available in its engine offer. All Wrangler engine options are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, an absolute new for this model. New 2.2-litre MultiJet II turbo diesel engine: featuring second-generation MultiJet technology, the new, efficient 2.2-litre diesel engine features four valves per cylinder, a belt-driven Double Over Head Camshafts (DOHC), 2,000-bar Common Rail injection system, solenoid injectors and a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT). Mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission, the 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine delivers 200 horsepower at 3,500 rpm and a torque of 450 Nm at 2,000 rpm. The 2.2-litre engine also features fuel-saving Stop-Start (ESS) technology. Main characteristics of the 2.2-litre engine are: Cylinder block is made by aluminum alloy Balancing system is a gear driven Lancaster system embedded into block Cylinder head is in aluminum alloy and timing system is a double overhead camshaft for a 16-valve configuration Valve train features roller finger followers and hydraulic lash adjusters Fuel Injection System is a second generation Multijet technology, 2000 bar injection pressure with solenoid injectors capable of Injection Rate Shaping management Turbocharger is a Variable Geometry managed by an electric actuator The engine emissions are managed with a new multiway EGR system, with LP EGR and HP EGR, both cooled. In addition the air is cooled with a Water Cooled Air Cooler that helps to reduce emission improving the engine responsiveness. The aftertreatment has a underfloor SCR system that reduces NOx to negligible values and a DOC and DPF close coupled to the engine for the particulate Matter reduction. Both these aftertreatment systems makes the vehicle compliant to the new RDE Euro 6/D standards. New 2.0-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine: the new 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine delivers 272 horsepower @ 5,250 rpm and 400 Nm of torque @ 3,000 rpm and features engine Stop-Start (ESS). Mated to the new eight-speed automatic gearbox, this engine is part of the Global Medium Engine architecture family and features Double Over Head Camshafts (DOHC), dual independent camshaft timing and a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (C-EGR) system. This is the first time that the combined use of a Twin Scroll turbocharger, C-EGR system, central direct injection and the independent liquid cooling intake of air, throttle body and turbo have been employed together. This combination of technologies affords superior levels of performance while at the same time reducing fuel consumption. The new 2.0-litre will be available across Europe in the fourth quarter of 2018. 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 engine (Only for the Middle East and Africa): already available in the Wrangler engine range, the 3.6-litre delivers 284 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm and 347 Nm of torque @ 4,100 rpm, and now features Stop-Start (ESS) as standard equipment. It was engineered to provide a broad torque band with a focus on low-end torque - an essential trait a vehicle with extreme off-road performance levels such as the Wrangler. The 3.6-litre petrol engine will be available only in specific markets outside Europe, such as the Middle East. New eight-speed automatic transmission: all Jeep Wrangler engine options are mated to the new eight-speed automatic transmission enabling the vehicle to optimize engine output while on the trails or enjoying smooth, efficient power delivery at highway speeds. Uniquely suited to the requirements of the all-new Wrangler, the new automatic gearbox delivers unmatched off-road capabilities.

New MultiAir III finally gave us a Miller cycle with a turbo engines. And unlike most of competitors this one has high specific power.

According to plan two new Jeep models will be produced in Europe.
