Why Alfa Romeo is closely watching Trump versus Biden

Alfa Romeo on April 10 will unveil its first full-electric car, the Milano small crossover. It will go on sale in September in markets where EV demand is strong, including France, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries.

A 48-volt mild hybrid version will be launched by the end of the year, targeting markets where electrification is lagging such as Italy and Spain. The Milano will be sold in Turkey, North Africa and Latin America starting in 2025.

Stellantis is preparing its plant in Cassino, central Italy, to build cars on the STLA Large platform, including the second-generation Alfa Romeo Stelvio midsize SUV expected in the second half of 2025. It will be followed by the replacement for the Giulia midsize sedan .

Cassino, which already builds the Giulia and the Stelvio, as well as the related Maserati Grecale midsize SUV, will be the only Stellantis plant in Europe to build STLA Large-based vehicles. The platform will feature an 800-volt electric architecture and offer a range of more than 700 km (435 miles) for SUVs and an even longer range for sedans.

The Giulia and Stelvio replacements will be only electric, Alfa Romeo said, even though the STLA Large platform also allows for ICE variants, such as on the freshly unveiled next-generation Dodge Charger.
