- Alfa Romeo will increase its lineup with two new fashions.
- A specialty mannequin co-developed with Maserati is deliberate.
- A brand new compact crossover, completely different from the Tonale, is coming.
- The following-generation Giulia and Stelvio aren’t coming anytime quickly.
110. That’s what number of new and up to date vehicles Stellantis plans to launch between now and the tip of 2030. Alfa Romeo’s lineup is certain to undergo some adjustments throughout that point, though there’s nonetheless no phrase on the next-generation Giulia and Stelvio. The present fashions are anticipated to stay round for a number of extra years whereas improvement groups re-engineer their successors to accommodate combustion engines.
However whereas the Giulia and Stelvio stay unchanged for some time, Alfa Romeo is growing a brand new compact crossover. Surprisingly, it’s not a alternative for the Tonale however reasonably one other mannequin set to sit down alongside it. The Italian model hasn’t stated the way it’ll differ from the Tonale, nevertheless it’s clear Stellantis is chasing quantity with this product.
Fortunately, lovers gained’t be ignored. A specialty mannequin as a part of the “Bottega Fuoriserie” mission is within the works. Introduced final November, it’s a joint initiative by Alfa Romeo and Maserati to deliver few-offs to market. What to anticipate? One thing alongside the strains of the 33 Stradale and the MCXtrema. These custom-built fashions are touted as “high-emotion automobiles that push the boundaries.”

Alfa Romeo And Maserati Are Working Collectively
Alfa Romeo and Maserati will design, develop, and construct these vehicles collectively in Italy for less than a handful of deep-pocketed consumers. If the upcoming mannequin is something just like the 33 Stradale and MCXtrema, it’ll value seven figures. Nevertheless, it’s too quickly to say whether or not this will probably be one other totally fledged supercar or one thing much less excessive. An SUV or one thing to that impact would undermine what the Bottega Fuoriserie idea stands for: ultra-special vehicles for the only a few.
Curiously, Alfa Romeo nonetheless lists the 33 Stradale as considered one of its present fashions regardless that the mid-engined magnificence bought out roughly three years in the past. Hopefully, the low-volume particular automobile will function a successor in a method or one other. We nonetheless bear in mind teasers of the reborn 8C and GTV from the late 2010s, however these vehicles have lengthy since been canceled.
If the rumor mill is correct, the mysterious mannequin may very well be one thing else totally. Stories from Italy allege Alfa Romeo is engaged on a contemporary tackle the Spider Duetto primarily based on the MC20 Cielo. Regardless of the case, it’s going to be uncommon and costly, very like the 33 Stradale earlier than it.
Motor1’s Take: Whereas it’s thrilling to see a brand new particular Alfa Romeo within the works, the product roadmap is reasonably underwhelming. The actual fact there’s no point out of a brand new Giulia means the already 11-year-old automobile will soldier on. The identical holds true for its SUV sibling, which turns 10 this yr.
You’ll bear in mind Alfa Romeo truly teased the next-generation Stelvio greater than a yr in the past however has since delayed the mannequin’s launch. It was initially destined to be bought solely as an EV earlier than the Italians modified course and deserted plans to go EV-only by 2027. Combustion engines will proceed for years to return, however remodeling the next-generation Giulia and Stelvio to help ICE powertrains can’t be carried out in a single day.
