TURIN -- Stellantis will build new full-electric flagship models for the DS and Opel/Vauxhall brands starting in 2024, according to documents seen by Automotive News Europe, as the group reshuffles model allocations for its European factories.
The models will be built in Melfi, southern Italy.
Production is set to start by late 2024 for the DS model, internally code-named D85 and potentially called DS 9 Crossback, requests for quotations (RFQs) to suppliers show.
The model is expected to be a midsize five-door fastback with a higher seating position similar in proportions to the 4800 mm-long Citroen C5 X built in China.
