Next-Gen Alfa Romeo Giulia To Be Even Sportier

As Alfisti eagerly await, the 2026 model year looks to be a promising one with the launch of the next-generation Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan. Alfa Romeo CEO Jean Philippe Imparato, confirmed last year that the sedan would return for a second-generation, alongside its SUV counterpart, the Stelvio. However, what sets this release apart is its groundbreaking leap into the world of electric vehicles (EVs).

The 2026 Alfa Romeo Giulia will be a trailblazer for the brand, being the first to grace the market exclusively in a fully electric iteration. This bold step forward is contingent on Stellantis group’s commitment, as they weigh the continuation of the current twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine beyond 2025. The Giulia’s electric powertrain will harness the state-of-the-art STLA Large platform (which it will share with the upcoming 2024 Dodge Charger), promising an enhanced driving experience with heightened efficiency and eco-consciousness.

Expect the 2026 Giulia to make a lasting impression with a more dynamic and sporty aesthetic. Alfa Romeo says it is set to redefine aerodynamic efficiency, which should result in a striking visual appeal that exudes a seamless blend of form and function. 

The Quadrifoglio version of the 2026 Giulia is poised to set new benchmarks in performance. With an astonishing 1,000 horsepower at its disposal, this powerhouse will be a force to be reckoned with on the road. Furthermore, a remarkable 800 kilometers (500 miles) of range ensures that the Giulia will be ready for most of those long journeys, while an 18-minute charge from 0 to 80% will keep the adventure going.

It remains unseen if Alfa Romeo will opt to install the continued twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 under the next-gen Giulia’s hood. But we hope that the Italian marque will, giving customers a range of powerplants to choose from.
