The upcoming 375 ch electric Alfa Romeo has just been inadvertently revealed… by Lancia

It’s often the case that new models from one brand give a hint about those from another within Stellantis. This time, it’s Lancia that may well have let the cat out of the bag. While the information published by Quattroruote are confirmed, the future Lancia Gamma HF The Integrale will deliver 375 ch and offer a WLTP range of up to 675 km. These specs strongly suggest that the future electric SUV from’Alfa Romeo, known internally as Project A4U and intended to replace the Tonale, will feature the same engine in its Veloce trim.

A precedent that leaves little room for doubt

This wouldn’t be the first time. When the Alfa Romeo Junior Veloce was launched with its 280 ch, that powertrain was quickly adapted for several models within the group: the Lancia Ypsilon HF, Abarth 600e, Peugeot e-208 GTi, and Opel Corsa GSE. Stellantis has already demonstrated its commitment to sharing its sporty powertrains across models based on the same technical platform.

The upcoming Alfa Romeo SUV will also use the STLA Medium platform, which is already used in the Peugeot e-3008, Lancia Gamma, DS No. 7, and Opel Grandland. As a result, the possibility of a 375 ch Veloce version now seems very plausible.

In fact, this trend toward more power seems to be becoming widespread on this platform. While the Peugeot e-3008 has so far peaked at 325 ch, the upcoming sport versions that have been announced or are expected could all reach around 375 ch: the Lancia Gamma HF, Peugeot e-3008 GTi, Opel Grandland GSE…

Is the battery life finally up to par?

Power, however, wasn’t the main criticism leveled at the Junior Veloce. With its 280 ch, performance was certainly there, but its range was a bigger point of contention. Advertised at 410 km under WLTP standards, it actually delivered just over 300 km under real-world conditions, which limited its appeal for versatile use.

That is precisely where the information revealed by Quattroruote are becoming particularly interesting. The Italian media outlet reports a WLTP range of 675 km for the Lancia Gamma HF Integrale. If this figure is confirmed, it could translate to about 600 km in real-world driving—a level much more in line with the expectations of customers looking for a premium family SUV. The future Alfa Romeo could thus combine performance and range—a balance that was lacking in the Junior Veloce.

The real challenge will be the price

That leaves one key question: How much will it cost to enjoy these 375 ch?

Although Stellantis has not yet announced any pricing for the Lancia Gamma HF, the upcoming DS N°7 offers a clue. The 350 ch electric version, with a range of up to 656 km, starts at €71,520 in the Étoile trim level. It’s hard to imagine an electric Alfa Romeo Tonale Veloce with 375 ch being offered at a much lower price.

The upcoming Italian SUV is sure to turn heads with its design, but it will also have to prove that its extra flair justifies a price tag that could approach €70,000. Ultimately, the question may already be a given: would you be willing to invest €70,000 in the upcoming 375 ch all-electric Alfa Romeo Tonale Veloce?

  1. I don't think the 375 cv power rating will be retained. There will indeed be a 375 cv Gamma, but not in the HF version.

    The Compass already delivers 375 cv with a 215 cv front motor and a new 180 cv rear motor; combined, the two motors produce 375 cv.
    For the Gamma HF and the upcoming Alfa, Stellantis will use the more powerful version of this front-engine powertrain, which produces 280 cv in the Ypsilon and Junior.

    With an extra 65 cv, that would bring us to 440 to 450 cv. That's already an improvement over the Alpine A490 and other Macans.

    • It’s true that the Jeep Compass 4xe does indeed produce 375 ch, but I have serious doubts about a more powerful version since it already goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. That’s exactly what you’d expect from a Veloce version. The scenario you’re describing would be more in line with an electric Quadrifoglio version….

  2. As far as I know, the Junior Véloce doesn't have a WLTP range of 410 km (it's 322 km, actually). As for the power figures of electric vehicles, you can basically make them say whatever you want. .

    • That's right!
      Tesla offers higher power outputs for €20,000 less. And let’s not even mention the Chinese automakers, which offer vehicles that are at least as powerful—if not more so—with all the extras included, for €20,000 to €30,000 less (XPeng, BYD, Xiaomi, etc.).
      Where are you headed, Alfa Romeo?

  3. The photos of the Alfa Romeo are old, so I assume they’re just for illustrative purposes. All in all, the article is a series of assumptions based on what already exists. If Alfa Romeo comes out with something new toward the end of 2027, it will have to outperform all of its existing competitors: BMW, Polestar, and Alpine.

  4. Once again, matching the power output of other brands exactly is a mistake. The VW Group manages to set itself apart from them.

    The Alfa Romeo needs to gain at least 50 ch.

    • «The VW Group is certainly able to tell them apart.»

      Oh, really!?
      This is the first time I've read something like this in 30 years!

  5. The Tonale's successor, with its attractive design, good range, and plenty of power—that sounds appealing if the rumors are true.

  6. How to Kill a Brand I'm an Alfa fan, and no one's going to buy a Tonal for 71k with the ACE electric package at that price—I'd rather get a used Giulia QV….
    They're going to kill off Alfa Bravo Stellantis

  7. I doubt people would be willing to pay more than €70,000. There are so many brands offering cars at competitive prices. It’s going to be a tough job to sell Alfa Romeos.

  8. I owned a 2023 Tonale PHEV, finally fulfilling my dream of owning an Alfa Romeo. It was a beautiful, high-performance car, but reliability issues led me to trade it in after two years. I’ve remained loyal to the brand with a 2025 Stelvio. It’s better in many ways, but I miss the Tonale’s instant acceleration compared to the Stelvio’s sluggishness in city driving. Given European regulations, I’m not able to take full advantage of the Giorgio platform. I’d gladly switch back to a hybrid or electric Tonale if the next model proves to be more reliable.

  9. Would I be willing to spend €70,000 on an Alfa Peugeot or an electric Citroën Romeo Tonal?.
    The answer is NO, NO, NO
    Just imagine what you can find on the used car market from Alfa Romeo for much less than that amount. For example, a Giulia 2.0L turbo with 280 cv
