- Alfa Romeo’s all-new Stelvio SUV is set to go on sale in North America next year.
- The current gas-powered Giulia and Stelvio will remain available through 2026.
- The next Stelvio will be joined by a new Giulia, both sharing the same underpinnings.
Alfa Romeo has confirmed to CarScoops that the all-new Stelvio will reach US dealerships in 2026, replacing the current generation that’s been with us since 2017. For those in the States still clinging to the classic models, the existing Stelvio and Giulia will stick around through 2026, giving buyers what could be one last shot at a pure-ICE Alfa before the brand fully embraces electrification with both hybrid and battery-powered options.
The news follows a leaked document from earlier this week, which suggested that production of the gas-powered Giulia and Stelvio would end by summer, with specific end dates for each variant. We reached out to Alfa Romeo North America for a comment, and here’s what a spokesperson told us:
“Following recent media speculation, Alfa Romeo North America reaffirms its ongoing evolution, ensuring a complete and multi-energy lineup for its latest models, including Tonale, which offers cutting-edge gas and PHEV mobility solutions. In North America, the 2.0L gas powertrain for Stelvio and Giulia will continue to be available through the 2026 calendar year,” the spokesperson said.

As for the next iteration of the Giulia, there’s no official debut date just yet, but it’s expected to make its first appearance sometime in 2026. Expect a shift in design, as reports suggest the Giulia may abandon its sedan roots in favor of a more crossover, fastback silhouette, likely an attempt to broaden its appeal.
What’s Next for Alfa Romeo’s Duo?
Spy shots, teasers, and comments from Alfa Romeo’s top brass have given us a glimpse into the future of both the Giulia and Stelvio. The next-gen models are likely to adopt styling cues first seen on the Alfa Romeo Junior, while further evolving the Italian brand’s design language.
In addition to the new looks, the updated Stelvio and Giulia will feature the STLA Large platform, offering a choice of EV or hybrid powertrains. The new STLA Brain electronic architecture will further enhance the competitiveness of both models.
When these new versions hit the market, they’ll compete with rivals ranging from the gas-powered BMW 3-Series and X3 to the Neue Klasse i3 sedan and iX3 SUV, as well as the respective models from Mercedes and Audi—just to name a few of the more obvious contenders.
