Is Alfa Romeo Releasing an Electric SUV?
Could there be a bigger, all-electric Alfa Romeo on the horizon? Rumors have been spreading about a three-row crossover SUV coming in the next few years. Although it’s not yet officially in the concept stage, there have been talks about Alfa Romeo venturing into the larger vehicle segment in the U.S. – a market it has yet to take hold on. It would be a big step forward for the luxury lineup, joining our favorites like the Stelvio, Giulia, and the upcoming Tonale.
What can we expect from an all-electric Alfa Romeo?
Potentially due in 2027, the rumored all-electric Alfa Romeo SUV will be made in Italy for the American market. That means bigger and bolder with the same Alfa Romeo performance, only electrified. Like most other automakers, Alfa Romeo has plans for full electrification within the next decade, and an all-electric powertrain will be the next step.
As of right now, the 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale has begun production. It’s the first plug-in hybrid for the brand, combining its new electrified technology with the familiar Alfa Romeo performance. If the Tonale is any indication, this new electric model will be made to thrill. For example, the Tonale’s hybrid powertrain is capable of a best-in-class 285 horsepower and estimated 350 lb-ft of torque, all while achieving an estimated combined 75 miles per gallon. It can get from 0-60 in just 6 seconds thanks to a 1.3L MultiAir turbocharged four-cylinder engine combined with a 90kW electric motor.
While the Tonale is classified as a compact SUV, the hypothetical electric model will be slightly larger, fitting into the mid to full-size segment. We’re hoping to get first looks at the design, but if the Tonale is anything to go off of, this new release should be just as aesthetically pleasing. Inspired by the raceway but with a modern twist, the Tonale has a sculpted body with performance-enhancing features like Adaptive LED Trilabo Headlights. The Italian influence is evident in the fine craftsmanship, paying homage to the past, present, and future of the Alfa Romeo brand.
