- Alfa Romeo plans to end the production of Giulia and Stelvio models powered by gas in summer.
- Diesel versions can remain in production slightly longer than their petrol counterparts.
- The sedan and the SUV will be replaced by electric and hybrid models in the near future.
Alfa Romeo will prepare to end the production of all the essence versions of the current generation Giulia and Stelvio.

He indicates that the production of the Giulia Quadrifoglio will end on March 31, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio on April 30 and the regular models Giulia and Stelvio Sprint, Veloce and Intense on May 31.

What is the next step for Alfa Romeo?
Fortunately, the Giulia and Stelvio will not be resigned to the history books in the future, while Alfa Romeo develops the new Stelvio generation on the same large Stla platform as the Dodge Charger, Jeep Recon and Jeep Wagoneer S. abandoned.
As for the Giulia, a new version is in preparation, but it may not look like its predecessor. Although the details are still rare, there is a possibility that it can move away from the traditional layout of the sedans in favor of something more similar to a crossover – think of an elegant and rationalized silhouette similar to the Peugeot 408. It is always a “waiting” situation, but a green thing is certain:
