Stellantis announced today that it has opened orders for its latest Smart Compact Van, a versatile vehicle slated to hit European showrooms later this year. The model will be marketed under four of the group’s brands—Citroën, Fiat, Opel and Peugeot—offering both conventional internal‑combustion and fully electric powertrains to meet a broad range of customer needs.
The decision to launch the van simultaneously across multiple marques reflects Stellantis’ strategy to maximize platform efficiency while catering to distinct brand identities. Buyers can expect a compact footprint ideal for urban deliveries, yet the vehicle retains a payload capacity that rivals larger competitors. The electric version promises a range suitable for daily city routes, while the thermal engine options provide flexibility for regions where charging infrastructure is still developing.
Key Features and Market Position
All four variants share a common chassis and advanced driver‑assist systems, but each brand will apply its own styling cues and interior finishes. Stellantis expects the van to appeal to small‑business owners, e‑commerce logistics firms and fleet operators seeking a greener yet practical solution.
Looking Ahead
Production is set to begin in early 2025, with deliveries scheduled for the second half of the year. Stellantis will monitor market response closely, planning further updates to powertrain options based on customer feedback and evolving emissions regulations.
