Stellantis reduces pricing and adds remote engine start/stop via the brand mobile app to the standard Connect One plan for 2027 model-year Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, FIAT and Alfa Romeo vehicles.

In an industry where automakers are increasingly looking to lock daily convenience features behind monthly paywalls, Stellantis is taking a slightly different tack for the 2027 model year. The parent company of Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo has announced updates to its connected-vehicle strategy, moving remote engine start/stop to its complimentary tier and marginally lowering the cost of its premium subscription data packages. The adjustments address common pain points for modern car buyers: subscription fatigue and the frustration of paying extra for hardware already built into the vehicle.

Historically, remote start via a smartphone app was often bundled into premium, paid monthly packages. By shifting this to the complimentary Connect One tier, buyers can pre-condition their vehicles' cabins on hot or cold days without an active subscription. The standard, 10-year Connect One suite now includes: - Remote engine start/stop, lock/unlock - Over-the-air (OTA) software updates - Automatic SOS emergency calling - Monthly vehicle health reports, recall alerts, and digital service scheduling - In-vehicle games via the built-in App Market A Price Drop for Wi-Fi and Navigation For those who want full vehicle connectivity, Stellantis is lowering the price of its Connect Wi-Fi Plus package.
