The second generation of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio represents a turning point for the Milanese brand. It abandons combustion engines to embrace full electrification on one of the Stellantis Group's most advanced platforms, promising to maintain its acclaimed dynamism. It is expected to be launched in 2026 with hybrid and electric versions.
Platform and Electrical Architecture
The most radical change is the adoption of the STLA Large platform . This foundation not only allows for a 100% electric configuration, but also integrates an 800-volt architecture , which will enable ultra-fast charging times, similar to those of models like the Porsche Taycan. Furthermore, it will be the first model to debut the STLA Brain , a new "operating system" for the car that will control everything from infotainment to Level 2 autonomous driving systems and higher.
Design: Aggressive Evolution
Based on patent office leaks, the new Stelvio's design will be a complete reinterpretation. The front end will be more aggressive, with very thin LED headlights flanking the iconic "Trilobo" grille. The overall silhouette will adopt sharper, more angular lines, moving away from the softer lines of its predecessor, but retaining an imposing road presence, with a length of around 4.70 meters .
Performance and Future Quadrifoglio
Although final details have yet to be revealed, a range with different power levels is expected. The STLA Large platform allows for high-capacity batteries, which should translate into ranges of over 700 kilometers in the most efficient versions.
The greatest excitement rests on the upcoming Quadrifoglio . It is speculated that this variant could exceed 1,000 hp , utilizing a multi-electric motor setup to ensure not only lightning-fast acceleration, but also a highly sophisticated all-wheel drive system with torque vectoring, thus maintaining Alfa Romeo's legendary driving pleasure.
