Alfa Romeo Extends Giulia and Stelvio Production to 2027 as Successors Reworked

The shift reflects Alfa’s move to add combustion options to successors originally conceived as electric models.

Overview

  • CEO Santo Ficili confirmed the current Giulia and Stelvio will stay in production at Cassino through the end of 2027.
  • Development of the next generation has been pushed back as Alfa reverses its EV‑only plan and integrates internal‑combustion and likely hybrid powertrains.
  • Quadrifoglio variants are set to return to the line in roughly April 2026, with executives saying the 2.9‑litre twin‑turbo V6 will be effectively the same even as Euro 7 compliance remains unclear.
  • The reworked successors are reported to use Stellantis’ STLA Large platform, which supports both electric and combustion drivetrains.
  • Alfa’s trademark offset front number plate faces potential hurdles under EU GSR2 rules from July 2026, which could require regulatory exemptions or a front‑end redesign.
