New Alfa Romeo Stelvio unearthed ahead of time

A new Alfa Romeo Stelvio is due soon and its styling has been unearthed ahead of its official release. The Stelvio has been on sale for nearly a decade, so a new one is well overdue.  

These grainy images of the next-generation Stelvio have surfaced via trademark filings, fully unveiling the redesign. The familiar Alfa cues—most notably the scudetto grille and distinctive alloy wheels—are still present, but much of the styling takes the brand in a new direction. Slim upper DRLs and main headlights tucked into the bumper are quite Germanic looking. 

Notably, the lack of visible exhaust pipes on the trademarked images hints strongly at a full-electric variant leading the charge, though Alfa Romeo has confirmed that internal combustion options will remain available for buyers not quite ready to plug in.

From the side profile, it looks like the New Alfa Romeo Stelvio is set to grow in size. The addition of flush door handles and a floating roof effect, along with the repositioned quarter glass behind the rear doors, suggest a design honed for both visual drama and aerodynamic efficiency.

At the rear, oval taillights blend into a triangular form on the tailgate. A square-cut tailgate and what appears to be a panoramic sunroof hint at practicality to match the new aesthetic flair.

Underpinning the new Stelvio is Stellantis’ STLA Large platform, replacing the Giorgio architecture. This shift will bring greater flexibility in powertrains, including full EVs, while allowing the Stelvio to grow to roughly 4.76 metres or beyond. It’s a move that also future-proofs the model as emissions standards tighten worldwide.

Performance enthusiasts will be pleased to know that thanks to loosened Euro 7 regulations, Alfa Romeo is keen to retain its own twin-turbo 2.9-litre V6 for future Quadrifoglio models, despite earlier speculation around a Dodge-sourced Hurricane inline-six. 

The New Alfa Romeo Stelvio is set for an official unveiling later this year.
