- Alfa Romeo’s boss has announced plans to launch the redesigned Stelvio in 2026.
- The SUV will be offered with electric powertrains as well as a “hybrid gasoline” engine.
- A new Giulia will follow and Quadrfioglio variants could have more than 900 hp.
Alfa Romeo CEO Santo Ficili has quietly revealed plans to introduce the redesigned Stelvio later this year. It will be made in Italy and launched in 2026.
In a LinkedIn post, the executive confirmed the crossover will ride on the STLA Large platform, which also underpins the Dodge Charger as well as the Jeep Recon and Wagoneer S. The architecture can be used on vehicles measuring 189 – 216.5 inches (4,800 mm – 5,500 mm) long and equipped with 101-118 kWh battery packs, which allow for ranges of up to 500 miles (800 km).

Outputs remain the biggest mystery, but the Charger R/T has a dual motor all-wheel drive system producing 456 hp (340 kW / 462 PS) and 404 lb-ft (547 Nm) of torque. The Scat Pack increases those numbers to 630 hp (470 kW / 637 PS) and 627 lb-ft (849 Nm) of torque, but the Stelvio is expected to be far more powerful.
In fact, former CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato had said the Quadrfioglio variant was developing 941 hp (702 kW / 954 PS) and they’d try for 986 hp (736 kW / 1,000 PS).
While Alfa Romeo hasn’t been shy about going electric, Ficili confirmed the Stelvio will also be “available with a hybrid gasoline” engine. That’s not much to go on, but the Charger will be offered with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six that has outputs of 420 hp (313 kW / 426 PS) and 550 hp (410 kW / 558 PS).
Following the launch of the new Stelvio, Alfa Romeo will focus on the Giulia. It will closely echo the crossover and should share powertrains as well as technologies.
