The Italian marque planned to go fully electric in 2027 but will now continue offering gas powertrains as it plots a radical reimagining of the Giulia sedan.

The next generation of the Giulia will say goodbye to traditional sedan proportions in favor of a high-riding stance

The news comes by way of an interview with Alfa Romeo / Maserati CEO Santo Ficili, who took the helm at the automaker back in October 2024. While detailing the brand’s upcoming model push through 2030, Ficili made mention of a new Stelvio coming for 2025, and that the Giulia will follow in 2026.

Alfa Romeo’s boss Santo Ficili told French car magazine L’Argus the next-generation Giulia will feature “a new design with a new type of bodywork.” Later Ficili confirmed that the next-generation Stelvio crossover and Giulia sedan will ride on the same Stellantis STLA Large platform.

The new Alfa Romeo Stelvio is due this spring and the next Giulia will follow in 2026 as a fastback crossover. Both will utilize the new Dodge Charger platform

Brand will move towards a "multi-energy" strategy headed by the next Stelvio later this year, and in 2026, the apparent crossover-styled new generation Giulia.

After decades of selling traditional three-box sedans, Alfa Romeo has suggested its next Giulia will have a different, more SUV-like appearance.
