What’s the New Crossover All About?
Alfa Romeo has revealed a teaser for a new C-Segment crossover model, which will be based on the Stellantis STLA Medium Platform. This platform already underpins a variety of Stellantis vehicles, such as the Jeep Compass, Lancia Gamma, and Peugeot 3008.
The new C-SUV will feature multiple powertrain options, including mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric. However, not all of these options may be available in the United States.
Where Does the New Crossover Fit in Alfa Romeo’s Lineup?
The new C-SUV will slot between the existing Tonale and the upcoming second-generation Stelvio. This means that it will be positioned as a more premium offering than the Tonale, but below the Stelvio in terms of size and features.
It’s worth noting that Alfa Romeo also sells a smaller model called the Junior in Europe, but it’s unlikely that the new C-SUV will slot below the Tonale in the lineup.
What Can We Expect from the New Crossover’s Design?
Styling for the new C-SUV will come from Alfa Romeo’s design center in Turin, Italy. The close-up image released by Alfa Romeo shows a rakish rear end, which hopefully won’t impede trunk space to an excessive degree.
When Can We Expect the New Crossover to Arrive?
Production of the new C-SUV is set to begin at Alfa’s Melfi, Italy plant in the fourth quarter of 2027. This means that we can expect to see the new model arrive in dealerships sometime in 2028.
What’s Next for Alfa Romeo?
Alfa Romeo has also teased a Bottega Fuoriserie project built in collaboration with Maserati. Details are minimal, but it’s expected to be some kind of sports car.
