I was very specific in my criteria. I'm not moving it.
It's very, very specific. The term of performance PHEV and I when have an example, not one, before your post.
Stelvio denies your SUV talk.
Yes, but Ferrari will have top notch tech as always while the same can't be said for Alfa.
For example what will differentiate Alfa from Pug when it comes to battery tech?
Will Pug be one generation behind? I don't think so.
Alfa's positioning is at BMW and Audi level in terms of pricing. You...
No, Pug PHEV powertrain are not performance in a sense of Alfa Romeo performance.
And this something which concern s me with PSA.
Sergio understood it. Alfa is about performance which comes through driving experience, both corner speed and steering feel.
Corner speed and feeling could be...
First of all.
Performance oriented PHEVs can only offer modest CO2 reduction.
Why?
They have smaller battery capacity so that they would not add too much weight.
As we know more weight is counter productive for good handling.
And this is not something which is based on my opinion. I'm...
That article is sort of mix of various information which could be found on the internet.
The truth is. 190 HP version was planned long ago and was planned as the first one. This was some 2 if not more years ago which means that in the final version engine could have 200 HP or more. This version...
Niche engine options are usually there because of brand imaging.
For example 2.0 with around 350 HP would do a lot for brand image, especially for Alfa Romeo. Offer it with mechanical AWD, add Focus RS like torque vectoring differential at the rear with classic LSD ar the front. It would be a...
Here is the thing and some of it are my guesses.
French came in and didn't like Tonale's production costs and engine list. Too much options, engines on the list and they had too much CO2 for their taste.
As the consequence engine list has been slashed. More powerful verions of the upcoming 1.5...
Some not so good CGI, infotainment looks bigger than it actually is.
For the interior. IMO they didn't improve materials by much if any. It was all about styling so that perceived interior quality would be better.
For years I've been saying that interior design of FCA US cars makes people think...
Disagree. Actually we don't need to disagree. It's not something subjective if you at the materials used for it.
Grand Cherokee was clearly inspired by Alfa's interior when it comes to materials used for it. Real wood inserts, leather wrapped dashboard.
Ah, and Lusso Alfas have Full Grain...
AFAIK no. And this technology is not something which doesn't exists but it's not often and Stellantis, actually this is ex FCA project, may be unique in some way.
They've mentioned something with huge battery but I'm not sure that it's technically BEV.
Actually I would put my hand in a fire and say that STLA Frame on the presentation had big battery and place to put internal combustion engine.
And they called it REPB, something like that, Range Electric...
