TURIN – Alfa Romeo's next flagship model will be a full-electric crossover larger than the current midsize Stelvio and will be launched by 2027, CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato told journalists.
Speaking last week during a visit to Stellantis’ Pomigliano factory in southern Italy, which builds the Tonale compact crossover, Imparato said the new flagship model would be crucial to increasing Alfa Romeo’s sales in Europe, the U.S. and China, according to Italian media reports.
It will compete with the X5 from BMW, the brand that Alfa Romeo has set as its benchmark, Imparato told Automotive News Europe in an interview in February. There were 46,238 BMW X5s sold in Europe in 2021, according to Dataforce.
