Supposed to have been been launched last year and later this year, Alfa Romeo has delayed the next generation Stelvio and Giulia till 2028 as a result of parent company Stellantis move away from fully electric powertrains.
U-turn.Back in 2023, the conglomerate announced that its all-electric policy by 2026 would result in Alfa Romeo becoming wholly electric by 2027 in readiness for the now overturned European Union ban on internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035.
In a statement last year, Alfa Romeo CEO, Santo Ficili, said the pair would ride on one of Stellantis STLA platforms and retain use of the long-serving 2.9-litre bi-turbo V6 that powers the Stelvio Quadrifoglio and Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde QV.
