The FCA Giorgio Platform is an automobile platform made by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles since 2015 debuting in the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Although following the merger with Groupe PSA to form Stellantis in 2021 the future of the Giorgio platform became uncertain,[3] the platform is currently being modified to better accommodate both plug-in hybrid, and electric power plants,[4] with not only the hybrid Jeep Grand Cherokee and fully electric Maserati Gran Turismo using the Giorgio platform, but also the future Maserati Levante, and future Giorgio platform cars using the company's V6 engine.[5] [6] Some models however, will transition to the STLA Large EV platform.[7] [8] [9] [10] __TOC__
