Alfa Romeo is known for its distinctive Italian design language, and the leaked images of the model suggest that this tradition will continue albeit in a compact SUV format this time around. From the leaked images available, the vehicle which is believed to be sub-Tonale sized features a sleek and sporty exterior with bold lines, a signature Alfa Romeo scudetto grille, and sharp LED headlights.
The storied Italian automaker has been in a process of reinvention in recent years, focusing on delivering high-performance vehicles while expanding its product range and one of the most significant revelations from the leaks is the potential for both electric and internal combustion engine powertrain options. Alfa Romeo seems to be embracing the future by offering customers a choice between traditional petrol/diesel engines and an electric motor before going fully electric by the close of the decade.
