by Alfa Romeo plans to introduce a new generation Giulia along with an all-new Stelvio in 2026. These renderings show a complete transformation of the current Giulia sedan’s appearance on the Giorgio platform. Production of the current Giulia sedan will soon end, but the model will be available in America until 2026. Alfa Romeo is preparing to discontinue the current generation after ten years of service. But before you start getting upset, don’t rush to grab a handkerchief.
Production may decrease in the coming months, but Giulia will still continue to exist in North America until 2026. And before you get too sentimental, note that this car will be with us for a long time. The Italian automaker is already working on the next-generation Giulia, planned to hit the market alongside the all-new Stelvio. Both car models are expected to be introduced around next year. What will the new Giulia be like?
Since prototypes of the new Giulia have yet to be spotted in public, it’s a bit difficult to predict how it will look. Recent reports suggest that Alfa Romeo is considering a radical change, with the next Giulia possibly transforming into a fastback-style crossover, similar to the Peugeot 408 or Kia EV6. We experimented with renderings of this sedan and crossover hybrid a few months ago, but digital artist Theophilus Chin (known as Theottle) had a different approach. On Instagram, he asked: “What if Alfa Romeo changed Giulia’s exterior while working on the gifted rear-wheel-drive Giorgio platform?”
Chin illustrated what the new Giulia might look like if Alfa Romeo decided to stick with the current chassis, extending its life rather than moving to the STLA Large platform. It’s a theoretical option, certainly interesting, though not entirely practical.
To reinvent the car, Theottle initially used the Xiaomi SU7 body on the existing car before making a number of significant changes to it. We admit it’s an odd choice, but somehow it works. Though the SU7 looks very different from the Giulia, it has many sexy lines and folds, many of which are retained in these renderings. However, the front has been redesigned, and it now includes recognizable headlights integrated into a triangular grille. There is also much of interest at the rear, where LED-lit taillights resemble those on the current Subaru WRX.
But this time, they’re joined by a light strip for a more modern look. The Future of Giulia
If reports are to be believed, the new Giulia will be based on the STLA Large architecture from Stellantis, which is already used in the new Dodge Charger. Versions will be offered, but Alfa Romeo has also announced it is working on others. Recent statements from the brand also indicate that the flagship Quadrifoglio versions of the new Giulia and Stelvio might remain, possibly linked to the beloved 2.9-liter multi-point V6 currently used by these models. We’ll see if this becomes a reality, but for now, it’s just a thought.
