Alfa Romeo has informed the public that the 2023 Giulia Sport sedan will enter a new generation but with one major difference, it may be a fully-electric vehicle. Despite the demand for SUVs, Alfa Romeo plans to bring a much-needed electric vehicle to a segment that doesn’t have many electric vehicle options. CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato made the announcement detailing the plans of the company and electric vehicles. Imparato even hinted about some high-performance electric trims that may be arriving soon.
The electric 2023 Giulia is set to be built on the STLA Large Platform, one of the many EV builds that Stellantis announced. Although it’s all up for speculation, we do know that the Large Platform can carry a 101-KWh to a 118-kWh battery pack that can produce a range of up to 500 miles. If that’s the case, we will most likely see the same platform in the development of some type of electric Stelvio. The Italian automaker will demonstrate its electric capabilities with the all-new 2023 Tonale electric plug-in hybrid SUV which will soon arrive in dealerships.
The 2023 Tonale plug-in-hybrid will feature a rear-mounted turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine integrated with a 243KW electric motor. The combination will deliver an output of 240 horsepower, the automaker has yet to announce if the Tonale will adopt some type of high-performance trim. As the Tonale will be released only in a rear-wheel-drive trim, Alfa has hinted at an all-wheel-drive with a dual-motor that could set performance above all of the competition in its segment. The highly anticipated 2022 Alfa Romeo Tonale will join the two other vehicles in the Alfa Romeo lineup including the 2022 Giulia sedan and 2022 Stelvio SUV. The automaker decided to begin converting the brand towards electrification earlier this year and is moving forward at a rapid pace.
Imparato also mentioned a high-performance Quadrifoglio trim. The automaker is ready for the electric era, but only if they can match the high level of performance they currently offer with the 2022 Giulia sedan and 2022 Stelvio. Imparato will not settle for anything less in the performance division and also promises to keep the Italian heritage that has kept them ahead of the competition for the past 110 years. Stellantis aims to use the knowledge from all the brands that fall under it to help Alfa Romeo push into the electric era even faster. Want to test drive a new Alfa Romeo vehicle?
