Alfa Romeo developing electric-only Mito replacement
Brand boss Jean-Philippe Imparato has confirmed that there will be a new car every year until 2030
A new
Alfa Romeo Mito is on the cards as the Italian firm prepares to rapidly expand its line-up over the next few years.
Brand boss Jean-Philippe Imparato has confirmed that there will be a new car every year until 2030 under new owner Stellantis. A small SUV, dubbed the Brennero, will arrive by 2025, plus there will be replacements for the
Alfa Romeo Giulia saloon and
Alfa Romeo Stelvio SUV, as well as the anticipated return of the
Alfa Romeo GTV coupé.
A new supermini is also being primed to give a new entry point to the brand while sensibly utilising technology available from elsewhere in the Stellantis empire. The original Mito, launched in 2008, went off sale in 2019 in light of declining demand for three-door models.
At the time, European boss Roberta Zerbi explained: “The Mito is a three-door and people are choosing more and more five-door cars.” The upcoming supermini, then, will inevitably have five doors to maximise sales and could sit on one of two platforms.
The first is that of the new
Fiat 500, which was developed primarily for the electric city car and will need to be used elsewhere to justify its development. However, the e-CMP platform used by the
Peugeot e-208 and
Vauxhall Corsa-e is more likely, as its proportions are evidently ideal for superminis.
