Stellantis is about to launch as a manufacturer , and when it does, the world will be watching closely. One of the brands that will be under intense scrutiny is the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo . This company has been hanging by a thread for years, and all the efforts made to revive it have come to nothing. Proof of this lies in the fact that neither the Giulia nor the Stelvio have been able to stop their German rivals. And that's not even mentioning the much-maligned Giulietta.
The Alfa Romeo compact has been on the market since 2010 , and its commercial life has been quite disappointing. Despite its truly beautiful design and a well-established name, it failed to capture the public's interest. However, the Alfa Romeo Tonale marks a turning point, as it will take its place and ensure that the brand's sales not only remain stable but also grow. We'll tell you when it will arrive on the market and more…
The Guilietta left us before Christmas and the Alfa Romeo Tonale would debut in September
But let's take it one step at a time. First, Caradisiac has announced that the Giulietta has already left the market . According to this source, the last unit rolled off the assembly line just days before last Christmas. Its color, trim, engine, and final destination are currently unknown. The FCA Group had planned for its discontinuation in early 2021, but it seems its fate has been brought forward by a few weeks.
Now for the good news. As we mentioned, the gap left by the Giulietta will be filled by the Tonale . For now, information about this SUV is vague and doesn't shed any light on the project's development. However, all is not lost, and proof comes from the Alfa Romeo Project website. According to this source, the Alfa Romeo Tonale's debut already has an official date . But not only that, they've also reportedly provided the complete launch timeline…
According to Alfa Romeo Project, the official debut of the Tonale will be next September . In fact, to be more precise, they're pointing to Tuesday the 21st. Following this launch, the order period will begin between October and November of this year. The third step will come in 2022 , when the first customers will receive the special launch edition, called the "Launch Edition . "
However, this publication goes even further and dares to provide technical details. Apparently, the Alfa Romeo Tonale was developed on the Small US Wide platform that the FCA Group has used in models like the Fiat Tipo. They announce that it will have all-wheel drive and hybrid versions using the same system as the Renegade 4xe. Regarding the QV sport versions , it seems there won't be any.
