Alfa Romeo to Extend Life Cycle of Stelvio and Giulia Models​​

According to information from relevant sources, Alfa Romeo has reassessed its product rollout plan and decided to extend the life cycle of the current-generation Stelvio and Giulia models, instead of launching all-new replacements as originally planned, which could have happened as early as this year. Alfa Romeo will continue producing the current Stelvio and Giulia at its Cassino plant in Italy until the end of 2027.

For reference, the current Giulia is available in the domestic market with 4 configurations, priced between 357,000 and 445,000 RMB; the current Stelvio offers 8 configurations, priced between 313,000 and 961,800 RMB. The former is positioned as a mid-size sedan, while the latter is a mid-size SUV. Furthermore, Alfa Romeo CEO Santo Ficili mentioned that while the original plan was to electrify the next-generation models, the Stellantis Group has decided to add a hybrid option to the project, thereby extending the development time. Additionally, these models were launched in 2015 and 2016 respectively, received a mid-cycle facelift in 2023, and there are currently no plans for further updates before the next-generation models arrive.

Earlier this year, spy photos of the all-new Alfa Romeo Stelvio were revealed. The vehicle features an evolution of the iconic triangular grille, appearing more stylish and sporty compared to the current model. Reports indicate it will adopt the STLA Brain electronic architecture, supporting OTA wireless updates for its infotainment system and more advanced driver-assistance systems. Powertrain-wise, the all-new Stelvio will utilize the STLA Large platform, offering both hybrid and all-electric versions. The electric version is expected to deliver up to 679 horsepower, while the hybrid version may feature a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter engine supplied by Dodge. We will continue to monitor further developments regarding this vehicle.
