The new Alfa Romeo Giulia, whose debut remains set for 2026, will be a symbol for the future of the Biscione brand, which will see its range enriched with many new additions in the coming years. After the Junior in 2024, the new Stelvio in 2025, and the new Giulia in 2026, 2027 will be the time for the return to the E segment with the E-Jet, which should then be followed by Tonale’s successor.

Sharp design change for the new Alfa Romeo Giulia

The new Alfa Romeo Giulia, as we have recently learned, will undergo a sharp design change with a “fastback crossover sedan” style. This is quite different from what we’ve seen so far with the first generation, which as we know was a classic three-box sedan. The choice was made by Biscione to make the car more global, making it more appealing in all the main car markets of the world, which are increasingly oriented towards SUVs and crossovers.

This doesn’t mean that the new Alfa Romeo Giulia will take on the appearance of a classic SUV, but rather that it will adopt a more dynamic and refined design, with stylistic features inspired by vehicles like the Peugeot 408 or the DS 8. However, compared to these cars, it will be even more sporty and elegant. The body lines will be elegant and fluid, while the roof will have a pronounced inclination towards the rear, giving the vehicle a sleek and sporty profile.

In essence, it will be a balanced synthesis of sophisticated aesthetics and practical use. However, the decision to transform the new Alfa Romeo Giulia is not dictated solely by design needs. The new model will integrate cutting-edge technologies, including advanced driver assistance systems and solutions based on artificial intelligence, with the aim of ensuring an innovative and safe driving experience. This evolution responds to the growing demand for vehicles that combine performance, versatility, and advanced technologies in a market increasingly oriented towards crossovers and raised sedans.

Let’s remember that the new Alfa Romeo Giulia will be built on the STLA Large platform and will be produced in Cassino, Italy. It will arrive on the market not only in an electric version as initially thought, but there will also be internal combustion engine variants, and very likely even the Quadrifoglio version could retain the V6, though perhaps with some form of hybridization.
