Tonale Replacement Set for Supplier Unveiling in Late September

Original article in French by Italpassion - translation below

The future of Tonale is starting to take shape

This convention on September 29th will primarily be for suppliers involved in the vehicle's industrialization. Therefore, a public presentation, let alone the unveiling of the final production car, should not be expected. However, Alfa Romeo could use the event to showcase a vehicle, a prototype, or technical elements far more advanced than what we currently know.

The timeline is consistent with a market launch that is still some time away. The new Alfa Romeo C-SUV is expected in the fourth quarter of 2027, while the current Tonale is slated to be discontinued in November of the same year.

Its production is planned in Melfi on the STLA Medium platform, which it will share with the Peugeot 3008, Lancia Gamma, and DS N°7. But according to our latest information, Alfa Romeo has specifically sought to differentiate its model quite distinctly from its cousins. This Alfa Romeo could therefore feature a significantly different design and proportions despite a common technical base.

An Alfa Romeo also designed for the United States?

Another factor could explain certain technical and stylistic choices: the project takes into account internationalization constraints, with the possibility of exporting this SUV to the United States. It could thus become one of the first vehicles on the STLA Medium platform truly designed to also meet the requirements of the American market.

This ambition would also help explain the model's expected growth. While the Tonale measures 4.53 m, its successor could exceed 4.60 m, with a more family-oriented and likely more upscale positioning. It would effectively replace both the Tonale and the Stelvio.

Electric and full hybrid?

The mechanics are also becoming clearer. Contrary to what one might have imagined just a few years ago, this future SUV will not be exclusively electric. The STLA Medium platform will allow Alfa Romeo to offer a multi-energy range, with several levels of electrification.

As we recently mentioned, an electric Veloce version with around 375 hp seems particularly plausible. This power output is precisely what is expected in the upcoming Lancia Gamma HF Integrale.

But the biggest innovations could come from the hybrid segment. More powerful PHEVs, particularly those with all-wheel drive, are expected in the STLA Medium family. Most importantly, the future Alfa Romeo could be the first model to receive a new 1.6-liter full hybrid powertrain, a particularly interesting option for markets where all-electric vehicles are progressing more slowly.

It remains to be seen what Alfa Romeo will actually show its suppliers on September 29th. For the public, the secret is likely to remain well-kept, but in Arese, the future replacement for the Tonale is clearly preparing to emerge from the shadows a little more. It is very likely that we will have new information after that date.

[Article] My Alfa Romeo’s dashboard is falling apart and the warranty won’t cover it

My Alfa Romeo’s dashboard is falling apart and the warranty won’t cover it

His car’s dashboard is defective, he has a warranty but the company says his specific part is on a secret exclusion list

Jay Catelli’s Alfa Romeo dashboard is defective. He has a warranty that covers interior damage, but the company says his specific part is on a secret exclusion list. Can he get the $14,000 repair covered? 

By CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT

PUBLISHED: August 14, 2026 at 6:30 AM PDT

Q: I own a 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio SUV covered by a Mopar MVP MultiCare Plus Service Contract. This policy expressly provides protection for interior and exterior damage.

The dashboard in my vehicle is currently separating from the air vents, resulting in a significant gap. The interior section of my policy covers reconditioning, repair, or replacement of surfaces damaged due to normal wear and tear, including loose seam stitches, rips, and tears.

Despite these terms, Mopar has denied my claim. It says the specific part number is on an “exclusion list.” However, my policy documents make no reference to an exclusion list by part number, nor do they list the dashboard as an excluded item.

I have escalated this to Alfa Romeo, a division of Stellantis, which also owns Mopar. Alfa Romeo issued my policy. It agrees that the dashboard should be replaced under the policy terms. However, the representative has been unable to secure an agreement from Mopar to authorize the repair.

The cost to replace the dashboard exceeds $14,000. Given the explicit terms of the policy and the absence of any referenced exclusion list in my contract, I’m trying to get this covered. I have written a letter to Stellantis North America Customer Experience but have received no response. Can you help me?

—Jay Catelli, Swampscott, Mass.

A: Mopar should have fixed your dashboard. If your MVP MultiCare Plus Service Contract explicitly covers “interior surfaces” and “wear and tear,” and your dashboard is doing a slow-motion separation, then it’s an open-and-shut case.

Service contracts—often called extended warranties—are usually one of two types: inclusionary or exclusionary. An inclusionary policy lists exactly what is covered. If the part isn’t on the list, you are out of luck. An exclusionary policy covers everything except what is specifically listed as not covered.

If you have an exclusionary policy, you read the fine print and checked the list. The dashboard wasn’t on it in your case.

Then Mopar claimed that even though the dashboard isn’t listed as an exclusion in your contract, the part number is on an internal exclusion list.

Come on. You can’t be bound by a secret list of part numbers that you never saw and didn’t sign.

You did an excellent job trying to resolve this yourself. You kept a thorough paper trail. You contacted the dealership, which agreed with you. You contacted Alfa Romeo, which also agreed with you.

In fact, an Alfa Romeo representative told you she tried to reason with Mopar, but Mopar insisted the part was excluded. It is rare to see two divisions of the same parent company—Stellantis—bickering like this over a customer’s repair.

When you hit a wall with the normal customer service channels, you can usually appeal to a higher authority. I list the names, numbers and emails for the Stellantis executives on my consumer advocacy site, Elliott.org.

You sent a certified letter to the senior vice president of North America Customer Experience at Stellantis. That was a smart move. But when you didn’t hear back, you contacted my team.

You were looking at a bill of more than $10,000 for a problem you paid good money to insure against. That is enough to make anyone’s blood boil—and apparently, your dashboard melt.

My advocacy team contacted Stellantis on your behalf.  A few days later, you received a call from Stellantis. A representative said the company reviewed your case and reversed its decision.

“Stellantis informed me that they reversed their initial denial and acknowledged that the leather dashboard should have been covered under the plan,” you told me.

The company approved the full cost of the dashboard replacement. It’s nice to see Stellantis standing behind its product, even if Mopar had to be dragged to the finish line. Next time, let’s hope the dashboard—and the warranty—hold together a little better.

[Autocar] Is Alfa Romeo the only brand that can sell cars for £30k and £1.4m

Original opinion article by Autocar written by Matt Prior.

Which brands, a colleague wondered, could retail a car at under thirty grand but also, like Alfa Romeo, launch a limited-edition, several-million-pound supercar?

Alfa Romeo won't quote a price for the new 33 Stradale, so it's impossible to know for sure how much it costs. Tragically, it's not on the regular model configurator.

I saw a build slot for one of the 33 examples advertised at £3.5m, but even if that is genuine (I'm unconvinced), asking isn't getting, several people would want to profit from it and who knows if that allows for possible option costs.

Those can change things drastically. McLaren says the average array of options on its £2m W1 add £600,000 to each car and that one customer is spending £900,000.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you can spend as little as £29,015 or something approaching 100 times that on an Alfa Romeo. Is that unique? In the market, right now, I think one could fairly confidently say that it is - and that it's the broadest model price spread in the business. But who else could, if they chose to, do similar?

My colleague thought hardly anyone, but I'm not so convinced. Almost every manufacturer wanting millions for limited-edition cars will be reaching upwards from its normal sphere, of course-even McLaren or Rolls-Royce. But I think what would mark most out as able to do it is not how far upwards they're stretching but how far down they've already stretched.

Take Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Audi, for example. They could make squillion-pound cars and indeed have. Most recently, the AMG One was around £2.4m, while an A-Class can be had for budget-Alfa money.

What enables them to do it at the top end of the market is ultimately the same reason people want their cars at the bottom end. They've decades of experience of making expensive, thoroughly engineered cars-a lot of them for racing. If it feels okay to hand over £2m to a manufacturer because it has won eight Formula 1 constructors' championships, it fairly well stands to reason that it also feels fine to hand over £30,000 to one.

What's perhaps surprising about this is that premium or luxury (or who would like to think of themselves as luxury) manufacturers moved down into mainstream segments seemingly without affecting their appeal at the top end.

It has been an awfully long time since the introduction of the A-Class, BMW 1 Series and Audi A1. There was a fear, for a time, that selling better-value cars would 'cheapen' those brands - lessen their appeal as premium names. It doesn't seem, though, to have come to.

Could, say, Vauxhall or Citroën or Skoda realistically pitch customers a 'few-off' car at £3m? It feels unrealistic.

Unusually for a car maker with value roots, Ford could and has made very expensive cars. It made 1350 examples of its most recent GT and charged £1.4m for a 67-off track-only version.

Racing, then, must count for something. I don't suppose anyone has raced as much as Ford, and it feels to me like it would be at the root of the appeal of most of these kinds of cars. I know they used to say 'win on Sunday, sell on Monday', but it feels like there's more to it than that. More 'win in 1966, sell in 2026'. It has always been difficult to quantify the amount of cars an extensive racing programme helps to sell, but I think it changes the kinds of car one is able to sell too.

2027 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Spied Testing This New Feature

While the car itself isn’t changing much, the apparent work to make the engine compliant with upcoming emissions standards is significant. It suggests Alfa is investing enough to keep the current Giulia viable through the end of its extended production run, rather than simply running down the remaining inventory. The downside is that it also reinforces the impression that a next-generation replacement is still several years away.

Alfa Romeo models by 2030

**This is a French article by Italpassion. Take everything with a grain of salt; there is quite a bit of speculation. Translation posted below**

Alfa Romeo: the future Giulia and Stelvio are no longer postponed, they have simply disappeared from the Stellantis 2030 program

A simple slide presented at an internal Stellantis meeting could well redraw the future of Alfa Romeo. By unveiling its European roadmap until 2030, the group confirms several expected projects... but also makes those that were to embody the renewal of the brand disappear. The long-announced future Giulia and Stelvio are no longer on the program.

A roadmap that confirms several projects

The column dedicated to Alfa Romeo first brings a lot of good news. Without any real surprise, the Junior will benefit from an update by 2030. A development that seems essential while the urban SUV, despite an encouraging start, already shows signs of shortness of breath in several European markets.

The document also confirms the arrival of the new C-SUV, intended to replace the current Tonale. A project already known for several months at Italpassion. This future model will be based on the STLA Medium platform and will support the Junior at the heart of the European market.

Another important confirmation: the presence of a model called "C-HB". Behind this name is a compact C-segment hatchback. In other words, everything suggests that it is indeed the future Giulietta, spiritual heir of the 147 and Giulietta, which Stellantis already evoked as a compact inspired by these iconic models. It could share its technical base with the future new generation Peugeot 308 thanks to the STLA One platform.

Finally, a mysterious "Bottega Fuoriserie" project also appears. It could be a very exclusive new series in the spirit of the 33 Stradale. In our opinion, it is difficult not to think of a possible Spider paying tribute to the historical model that celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.

The Giulia and Stelvio are no longer rejected... they disappear

But it is above all what is missing on this slide that attracts attention. For two years, the future Giulia and Stelvio had simply been presented as delayed models. Initially planned on the STLA Large platform, they were postponed when Stellantis abandoned its 100% electric strategy to return to a multi-energy offer.

This time, their name no longer appears. In their place is simply the words "new segment D (under study)". A very different formulation, which suggests that the direct replacement projects of the Giulia and Stelvio have been abandoned in favor of a much broader reflection on what the future high-end Alfa Romeo should be.

Does the future now depend on Maserati?

This change is ultimately consistent with Antonio Filosa's recent statements. The CEO of Stellantis confirmed that Maserati is currently working with two potential partners to develop its future range.

However, for several months, Alfa Romeo and Maserati were supposed to share their developments on future models in the D and E segments. If the next Quattroporte and Levante now depend on a new industrial partner, it seems logical that the future high-end Alfa Romeo model should also be part of it.

The STLA Large platform now seems to be mainly intended for the North American market, while the Giorgio platform still serves as the basis for current Maserati models. As for STLA One, it does not seem suitable for a large sedan or a sporty premium SUV. Everything therefore suggests that Alfa Romeo's future D-segment model will depend directly on the choices that will be made for Maserati in the coming months.

One thing is now certain: the Alfa Romeo range until 2030 is specified around the Junior, its restyling, the replacement of the Tonale, a new Giulietta and an exceptional Bottega Fuoriserie project. On the other hand, if you were waiting for the new Giulia and Stelvio, this roadmap sends a much less reassuring message: their substitutes no longer seem to exist as such, and nothing guarantees today that they will return under these names.
