Insights

The 20th anniversary of Chrysler's Stow 'n Go seating system represents a significant competitive advantage that has contributed to 5 million minivan sales over two decades. This proprietary feature remains exclusive to Chrysler, demonstrating remarkable staying power in a highly competitive market segment.

The system's durability as a market differentiator is particularly noteworthy given that competitors haven't managed to replicate it effectively in 20 years. With 140+ cubic feet of configurable space and 243 different seating arrangements, this innovation continues to be a key driver of Chrysler's dominance in the minivan segment.

For STLA investors, this milestone highlights the company's ability to maintain product differentiation and market leadership in the minivan category. However, the upcoming transition to EVs poses challenges, as the Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid can only offer third-row Stow 'n Go due to battery packaging constraints - a technical challenge that will need to be addressed in future electric models.

The timing of this anniversary celebration and the new Stow 'n Go Challenge marketing campaign is strategically aligned with Chrysler's broader narrative of innovation as it approaches its 100th anniversary in 2025. This marketing initiative serves dual purposes: reinforcing brand heritage while maintaining relevance in an increasingly competitive market.

The decision to showcase this feature at the Detroit Auto Show indicates a focused effort to leverage Chrysler's strongest differentiator in the minivan segment, particularly important as the brand prepares for its first BEV launch in 2026. The 82 MPGe achievement of the Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid and its 520-mile total range demonstrate Chrysler's successful adaptation to evolving market demands.

For STLA shareholders, this represents effective brand management and market positioning, though the true test will be how successfully Chrysler can translate its minivan expertise into the electric era while maintaining its competitive advantages.

Chrysler is celebrating two decades of giving families all the space they need to load up for fun and adventure, highlighting the 20th anniversary of the brand's ground-breaking Stow 'n Go seating and storage system, by kicking off a new Stow 'n Go Challenge, set to debut at the 2025 Detroit Auto Show, scheduled for January 10-20, 2025.

First introduced for the 2005 model year, 5 million minivans have been sold with the Stow 'n Go seating and storage system, which allows the second- and third-row seats to fold flat quickly and easily into the floor. When not stowed, available Stow 'n Go in-floor bins offer easily accessible space to store gear.

"Chrysler brand will mark its 100th anniversary in 2025, and that Century of Innovation has been driven by decades of leadership in design, technology and capability," said Chris Feuell, Chrysler brand CEO. "Stow 'n Go seating is one of a lengthy list of Chrysler brand innovations that has made life easier and better for our customers."

Fast-forward 20 years and Stow 'n Go remains a highlight feature of the Chrysler brand family of minivans. The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica offers the most innovative seating and storage in its class, and Chrysler minivans are still the only vehicles in the class to offer Stow 'n Go seating, creating more than 140 cubic feet of interior space when seats are stowed.

Second- and third-row Stow 'n Go seating is standard on the gas-powered 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Select and 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Limited, including Pacifica Select and Limited models with all-wheel drive. Stow 'n Go is also standard on the 2025 Chrysler Voyager. Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid and gas-powered Pacifica Pinnacle models feature standard third-row Stow 'n Go seating, with removable second-row seats.

When introduced for the 2005 model year, Stow 'n Go seating "floored" the competition. Developed by an internal cross-functional team of engineers and designers, the innovation was yet another advancement by the company that invented the minivan category more than 40 years ago. Chrysler soon featured a Stow 'n Go Challenge at enthusiast events, allowing customers to experience how quick and easy it is to use the Stow 'n Go seating and storage system firsthand.

A revived Stow 'n Go Challenge will debut at this year's Detroit Auto Show, putting participants to the test and on the clock to win prizes and find out how much road-trip gear can be quickly stored into a Stow 'n Go-equipped 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Family Adventure Vehicle (FAV) Edition.

Chrysler will stage the Stow 'n Go Challenge at 2025 auto show activations throughout the year.
