The new Giulietta is one of Alfa Romeo's most anticipated models in its next product plan. The Italians will extend the Giulia and Stelvio's life cycles through the end of 2027 while they prepare their successors. In 2028, the brand plans to debut an SUV built in Melfi and positioned between Europe’s C and D segments, followed by the successor to the Giulietta, which will sit in the C segment.
That is the brand's future strategy, outlined by CEO Santo Ficili, who spoke with our colleagues at Motor1 Italy at the 2026 Paris Motor Show this week. The gorgeous Cuorerosso previews the new Giulietta's styling language. However, the production model will not be as low-slung as the concept created by the design team led by Alejandro Mesonero.
The new Giulietta will be a hatchback-style model, slightly taller than a conventional sedan but not as tall as an SUV. Think of it as a sporty crossover, potentially evolving ideas from the 2003 Kamal concept, particularly in size. The Kamal, in fact, had crossover-like proportions, standing 63.8 inches tall, while its 171.3-inch length would fit well with the expected positioning of the new 2028 Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
This body style would allow Alfa Romeo to increase interior space for passengers and cargo compared with the previous Giulietta. More importantly, it would accommodate Stellantis’ new multi-energy platform, expected to derive from the STLA One architecture announced in May during the company’s Investor Day by Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa.
The new Giulietta's technical foundation is therefore expected to support both internal-combustion-engine versions and battery-equipped electric models.
