Welcome to another story on an upcoming Alfa Romeo model. Nothing is ever certain, company insiders are quoted, and dates are given for the release of new models, some more implausible than the other. This time we talk about the Alfa Romeo-badged SUV, which, according to new information, is set to make its debut by the end of 2015.
This time, the news comes from British news daily The Telegraph, which recently spoke to Damien Dally, Alfa Romeo UK boss. According to the report, Mr. Dally confirmed that “there will certainly be an SUV in the next two or three years,” adding that Fiat’s ownership of both Alfa and Jeep means the exchange of technology will be easy.
But wait, there’s more. The same source added that Alfa’s SUV would share many of its mechanical bits with the Jeep Cherokee, which is based on the Giulietta platform and also underpins the Dodge Dart – talk about platform sharing.
No word on where it will be sold first, or what engines will be used to power it, but rest assured the Chrysler-Fiat parts bin will provide the engineers with everything they need to make this become a reality.
