Overview
- Alfa Romeo, which confirmed the model on Tuesday, said the new mid-sized C‑SUV will debut in the fourth quarter of 2027.
- Stellantis plans to build the vehicle at its Melfi plant in southern Italy, and reports say Tonale production at Pomigliano is expected to wind down by November 2027.
- The car will ride on Stellantis’ STLA Medium architecture and will be offered with multi-energy powertrains, including hybrid, plug‑in hybrid and fully electric options.
- As part of the same roadmap, Stellantis aims to field a C‑segment hatchback on the STLA One platform by 2030 and is developing new batteries at Mirafiori to refresh the Fiat 500 by 2027 with a new generation planned for 2030.
- Some outlets have speculated the design could be rebadged for North America under Dodge, but Stellantis has not confirmed U.S. plans; the program reinforces Italian factory activity and could shape local jobs and export choices.
