We’ll have to wait a little longer to find out if any major technical updates will be applied to the car’s STLA-M architecture, but as it stands it should be comfortably capable of integrating BEV powertrain options with one or two motors, and battery sizes all the way up to 98kWh.
While it will share its architecture with other Stellantis models, we expect it will be longer and wider than most, so expect a length around 4.7 metres, leaving space for the existing 4.5-metre Tonale to sit below. It won’t have to worry about getting too close to the Stelvio either, because a new generation of that car will be along soon after with larger dimensions.
As you can see in our exclusive image, the new Alfa will feature a more traditional aesthetic than the smaller Junior, with strong C-pillars and no split-lines or contrasting colours. This is an obvious shift from the themes that Alfa design boss Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos explored in models such as the Junior, which used the blocky, aggressive eighties for design inspiration. Instead, this new model will have a more sculpted and tailored look.
The teaser image revealed by Alfa reaffirms this, revealing narrow rear lights that sit within a body-coloured tailgate. This is a sharp contrast to the eccentric lights on a Junior; nor does it have the dramatic triangular LED light strip that we know was due to be coming on the now-delayed next-gen Stelvio.
Sadly, this SUV won’t be revealed until late 2027, although we expect to see a more revealing concept as early as the Paris Motor Show in October.
