Alfa Romeo extends the life of diesel Giulia and Stelvio and decides to bring back the 'hot' Quadrifoglio versions

Alfa Romeo shared details about the Giulia and Stelvio models. Production of these diesel engine vehicles will continue until the end of 2027. Additionally, the 'charged' versions of Quadrifoglio will return next year.

What is known

The Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan has been around for ten years. Initially, it was expected that the model would be discontinued this year, but Alfa Romeo changed its mind. The life cycle of the Italian competitor to the BMW 3 Series has been extended by two years.

Similarly, the Stelvio will be produced until 2027. Both models are built on the Giorgio platform, developed thanks to an investment of 1 billion euros by the former FCA group under the leadership of the late Sergio Marchionne.

The reason why the Giulia and Stelvio remain on the market longer than planned is that their successors are being upgraded to support internal combustion engines. Earlier, Alfa Romeo planned to turn the next generations of the models into electric cars. However, the spread of such cars has not been as active as expected, so the plan changed.

As a result, internal combustion engines will continue to be used, including in subsequent models. However, Alfa Romeo needs more time to adapt the STLA Large platform for the next generation of Giulia and Stelvio to install ICE.
