While all the news is focused on the future Milano SUV, we've obtained some information exclusive information about the next generation of theAlfa Romeo Giuliaalso known as code 953. This will mark a significant break with the current model. In fact, unlike the current version, which sports a traditional three-box sedan design, the future Giulia is moving towards a distinctive style that departs from convention.

The most notable feature of this evolution is the adoption of a hatchback trunk, a modification to the rear design that promises to reinvent the car's profile. Our information suggests that the new Giulia will be based on a fastback design.. This aesthetic choice represents a subtle balance between a classic sedan and an SUV, a concept not yet very popular in today's automotive market.

This fastback styling is not entirely new to the automotive industry, as evidenced by models such as the Peugeot 408 and Citroen C5X. However, Alfa Romeo's approach promises to bring a touch of elegance and sportiness to this segment. What's more, it's interesting to note that other brands, such as Lancia with its future Gamma, Opel with the new MANTA and DS with the DS8, are also exploring this avenue, suggesting an emerging trend in automotive design (at least for Stellantis).

As far as technical aspects are concerned, the future Giulia will be built on the STLA Large platform. This platform promises an impressive range of up to 800 km, and power of up to 1000 hp.

The Official presentation of the new Giulia is scheduled for 2026A year after the launch of the new Stelvio, giving enthusiasts enough time to speculate and anticipate the innovations this model will bring.

  1. M. Imparato talked about a sedan, so I'm expecting something other than a crossover. From my point of view, the 408 is a total failure in terms of design.

  2. As for the 408, I'm not a fan and I'm not sure they'll sell it all that well.....perhaps with an Alfa sauce it'll be prettier, but either way, it'll be overpriced 😡

    • There's no such thing as a motorized Peugeot anymore. Either it's electric or PureTech, in other words, you might as well have a scooter.
      All right, the future Giulia will probably have a nice design. But what else is there to arouse emotion?

  3. I knew right away that the base would be this hideous 408!
    Abysmal stupidity at Stellantis! There must be a bullshit virus running through the teams, it can't be any other way!🙄

  4. The days when Alfa could choose between a Brera, a GT or a GTV seem to be long gone... I find the idea of a hatchback much more practical, as on the Audi A7 for example, but if it's to get closer in terms of design to the latest 408, or even worse to the Fiat fastback, it's not going to be much fun! I say this because I still haven't digested the slimming down of the Tonale based on the Jeep Compass, even though the concept car had perfectly balanced dimensions... We're already going to see what the little milano looks like 😉

  5. At least this time we won't be disappointed, it's hard to do worse than 408 or C5X...
    (although there have been enough giulia coupe nfographs circulating to feel a certain regret)

    • I don't think you should take the existing 408 or c5x into account, as neither is based on the STLA Large platform. So as far as the fastback/dimensions are concerned, we can rely on them, but for the rest, it'll be all new.

  6. I hope they take the example of the magnificent 408 and C5X to make the future Alfa, to own the 3 brands "what a chassis" 😉

  7. Hey, that looks like the back of a Mercedes A-Class.
    The rear is classic enough for me
    Otherwise you'd have to see it in real life!

    • We live in a world where AI-generated images are increasingly present and will become harder and harder to distinguish from reality.
      The fact remains, however, that these are just more or less random mixes of what exists on the internet, and are nothing more than illustrations that have nothing to do visually with what the eventual products will be.
      But it does explain why we recognize details here and there...

  8. I wonder why we're talking about Peugeot? I have nothing against the French, on the contrary. I often wonder how it's possible that design "specialists" can put such "stuff" on the road. Are there any sensible people still working in French design studios to come up with such horrors, or is this becoming a reflection of French consumer taste? How they design cars so much (the front is loaded, the rear is loaded). This is normally the specialty of the Germans. But even they've figured it out. In fact, I don't care, let them get on with their trip as long as they don't touch my Alfa.
    Besides, the Italians will never let him. And believe me, forget the 'photos' of the Milano on the sites. She's going to look like an SZ. Anyone who knows, knows.

    On that note, I'm still curious to know what will be done with the next Giulia. Mine is splendid. Swift. Misano blue. Full options. If the next one is going to look like that horrid 408 cross...over, then it's over for me too, and I'm keeping mine. Timeless design, great engine.
    Those who design these 'Arte in movimento' must never forget that whoever enters this car must feel an indescribable pride and arrogance ... every time.
