Alfa Romeo will launch a new electric model every year

Alfa Romeo, which aspires to become the global premium brand of the Stellantis group, will be 100% electric in its main markets by 2027. The Italian firm, led by Jean-Philippe Imparato, has an ambitious roadmap that includes the launch of at least one new electric model per year between now and 2030.

“We are going to launch one car a year until 2030. So this year there is the Tonale. In 2024 we will have a launch that […] will meet the expectations of the owners of a MiTo or a Giulietta. It will be both mild-hybrid and electric. This will also be Alfa Romeo’s first electric model,” Imparato explained in a recent interview with the French media L’Argus.

This model will be a B-SUV (or rather a small sports crossover ) related to the Jeep Avenger. It will be manufactured in Tychy, Poland, and will use the second-generation CMP/eCMP modular platform. The name of the long-awaited entry proposal from Alfa Romeo will be announced in September.

The manager hopes that the transition, although rapid, does not imply a change in the company’s philosophy since he wants his electric cars to maintain their characteristic agility. “That is a great challenge. It will be necessary to optimize all the elements around the battery to the maximum so that the behavior on the road is that of an Alfa Romeo ».

The replacement for the Alfa Romeo Giulia will arrive in 2025

The first Alfa Romeo car conceived exclusively as electric will arrive in 2025 to replace the Giulia. It will be “a high-performance vehicle that will produce between 350 and 800 CV, will offer 700 km of autonomy, and will recharge in 15 minutes. We want to make a substitute electric car, not a transition.

Alfa Romeo Tonale

Two more launches will follow in 2026 and 2027, probably an SUV set to replace the Stelvio and a flagship located in the E segment. Each model will have its own Quadrifoglio sports version. The corporate design will gradually evolve, because although both the Scudetto (the classic V-shaped grille) and the driver-focused cockpit will be maintained, “you cannot do vintage”.

It is not clear which models will arrive in 2028, 2029, and 2030, but if we had to bet, we would do it for a compact (Giulietta), a utility (MiTo), and a 100% electric replacement for the Tonale. On the other hand, other projects are also being studied, including a low-running supercar inspired by the 33 Stradale, as well as a new generation of the Spider Duetto.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
