So, get this: Alfa Romeo’s electric Giulia is hitting the streets by 2026, and guess what? It’s sticking to its classy sedan look, even though everyone seems obsessed with SUVs these days.
Alfa Romeo Giulia 2027
Now, the Giulia EV is just one part of Alfa’s grand plan. They’re rolling out two shiny new D-segment cars in 2025 and 2026 – the other’s an electric version of the Stelvio. Then, they’re going big with a large E-segment model in 2027, think something Porsche Cayenne-esque. That means we’re looking at four out of five Alfa cars being SUVs. But here’s the kicker:
At this cool preview event for the new Milano crossover, Alfa Romeo’s head honcho, Jean-Philippe Imparato, was all about the electric Giulia staying a true-blue sedan. He’s like, “Sure, the sedan market’s having a bit of a moment, but when we talk electric, we’re talking sleek aerodynamics, and that means ‘Berlina’, or sedan, baby!”
He’s adamant about not turning Alfa into just another SUV maker, saying, “Sedan silhouettes are making a comeback on my watch!”
And oh, there’s some juicy gossip on bringing back some of Alfa’s legendary models for an electric spin. Imparato hinted at a future where we might see electric reincarnations of the iconic Giulia, and then he’s like, “What about the GTV, and the Duetto? I’ve got plans, but let’s not spill all the beans just yet.”
Both the Stelvio and Giulia are getting electric makeovers, and Alfa’s gearing up their Cassino plant for production. Start the countdown, because in the next three years, it’s showtime.
Now, even though they’re sticking to the sedan roots, the electric Giulia might get a little wardrobe change. Picture a sleek blend of estate and sedan vibes, kind of like the Genesis G70 or Mercedes CLA shooting brakes. Imparato dropped a hint before: “We’re not ditching the sedan; it’s what Alfa’s all about. But hey, everyone’s talking about a Giulia estate.”
Alfa Romeo has spilled some electrifying details on the electric Giulia, leveraging the modular STLA Medium platform from the parent company, Stellantis. Power kicks off at an impressive 345bhp, with the beefier Veloce version amping up to around 790bhp.
An even more intense version, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, is on the horizon, boasting “around 1000hp” (986bhp) – nearly double the punch of today’s 503bhp twin-turbocharged petrol V6 model.
This powerhouse is expected to shift to a four-wheel-drive setup, diverging from the current rear-driven configuration. A similar approach to the Maserati Granturismo Folgore from the Stellantis family might be in play, featuring three electric motors – one at the front and two at the back – with the magic of torque-vectoring.
Beyond just muscle, the range on this electric marvel is pegged at up to 435 miles according to the WLTP cycle, positioning it as a viable “substitute” for petrol enthusiasts, rather than a compromise or reluctant switch. This range echos that of the new Peugeot e-3008, which shares a variation of the same STLA platform.
The push towards rapid electrification is not just a whim for Alfa. “We switch because we must,” was the clear message, indicating a do-or-die approach to keeping Alfa Romeo in the race.
