Alfa Romeo prepares to add a fifth model line with brand CEO, Jean-phillipe Imparato, hinting at the possibility of a new flagship large SUV for 2027. Imparato has reportedly stated that the Italian brand wishes to rival the Porsche Cayenne with an all-electric SUV but adds that the final decision will be taken near the end of 2024.
Alfa Romeo has reportedly been aiming for an electric SUV in the E-segment but is also not shying away from considering alternatives, such as a C-segment compact hatchback. While Imparato wishes to go up in size, getting approval for the SUV would depend on North America’s progress with electrification and how much potential for growth is in the Asian market considering the dominance of the Chinese EV players. China is currently the world’s largest market for electric vehicles and has a number of manufacturers that offer a plethora of options with incentives to make them affordable for the public.
