It’s official, the next generation of the Alfa Romeo Giulia will be 100% electric. And the least we can say is that it will show incredible performance, with a version that will develop no less than 1,000 horsepower. You will also benefit from very fast charging and long battery life.
Like all manufacturers present in Europe, with a few exceptions, Alfa Romeo will have to go fully electric, while thermal cars will be banned by 2035. However, this should not be a concern for the Italian brand, which has planned will stop selling internal combustion vehicles from 2027. The manufacturer’s first electric model is planned for next year and will then take the form of an SUV derived from the Jeep Avenger, which we previewed.
amazing performance
Later, another model will expand the range. And this is not completely unknown, since it will actually be a new generation of the Alfa Romeo Giulia, launched on the market in 2015. Until then, the brand had not yet officially communicated to the press about this future arrival in the range, some technical details. whose characteristics, however, had been revealed by an investor.
But a few months later, the tongues are finally beginning to loosen. Thus, the head of the brand, Jean-Philippe Imparato has finally officially confirmed the arrival of this new variant to the range. British site journalists car They were also able to obtain previously unpublished information about the electric sedan that should arrive in 2025.
The range would start with a strong version around 350 horsepower, while a variant called Veloce should show 800 horsepower. An already very high power, but which is still nothing compared to the 1,000 horsepower expected for the most radical version, which will replace the current Quadrifogio. As a reminder, the generation currently on sale features a 510-hp twin-turbo gasoline V6.
This high-performance variant will adopt four wheel drive architecture, while the version marketed today is a propulsion. It could carry no less than three engines, either on the front axle and two on the rear like the Maserati Granturismo Folgore presented a few months earlier.
Up to 800 kilometers of autonomy?
Based on the STLA platform developed by the Stellantis group, this new Alfa Romeo Giulia will be equipped with an 800-volt architecture like the Kia EV6 and other Porsche Taycans that will then allow recharging in 18 minutes like the Korean electric crossover. If the brand has not confirmed the size of the battery, it may be this is around 100 kWh as in the Peugeot Inception concept.
Thus, the electric sedan, which will compete with the Tesla Model 3, must show a range of about 700 kilometers according to the brand owner. This is less than the 800 km that was planned at the beginning. However, it is not excluded that smaller batteries are also offered, although it is known thatnot necessarily useful for traveling long distances in a single charge, contrary to what many people think.
If no image of this new version has yet been revealed, Jean-Philippe Imparato stressed that this one will have a less conventional silhouette than the current generation. But at the moment it is impossible to know more about it, although the leader affirms that the first proposals of the designers are “ very cool“. The price of this new generation also remains to be known:current from 46,600 euros.
Let’s hope the increase isn’t too significant, while electric cars tend to cost more than equivalent thermal models. If the price is too high, the sedan may not be eligible for the green bonus. Later another SUV should see the light of day, as well as a replacement for the Stelvio. A sporty rival to the Porsche Taycan and the Tesla Model S should also arrive in 2027.
