Alfa Romeo Giulia, Stelvio survive to 2027 as replacements delayed
Reprieve for petrol duo as EV successors are re-engineered for hybrid power – and V6 Quadrifoglios will return
Alfa Romeo will keep selling the Giulia and Stelvio through to 2027 – including the 513bhp Quadrifoglio range-toppers – as it rethinks its plan to replace them with pure-electric successors.
Based on the then-new Giorgio platform, the saloon and SUV siblings were introduced in 2015 and have been only lightly updated since then. This makes them among the market’s oldest cars, raising questions about their ongoing viability, particularly given the need to comply with costly new European emissions and safety regulation.
Alfa Romeo has also shifted focus to the more volume-friendly Tonale and Junior crossovers in the last three years, with the need for an increasingly electrified offering dictating its product strategy – but UK boss Jules Tilstone has confirmed to Autocar that the pure-petrol Giulia and Stelvio can continue.
“Eighty per cent of the [UK] market is still ICE,” he said. “People are looking for fun-to-drive performance ICE cars, and the Giulia and Stelvio offer that in spades.
“Look at the Giulia: you can't get away from the fact that it's a timeless D-segment saloon - and it is still stunning.”
Tilstone confirmed that the pair will continue to be offered with a 270bhp four-cylinder petrol engine as standard and added: “We're also bringing back the Quadrifoglio versions of both the Giulia and Stelvio.”
The V6 performance versions were taken out of production in September but will start running down the line again at Alfa’s factory in Cassino, Italy, from April 2026.

Alfa Romeo Reveals Limited-Edition Giulia & Stelvio
Alfa Romeo has whipped the wraps off the limited-edition Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Collezione.
Alfa Romeo has unveiled the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Collezione (“Four-Leaf Clover Collection”). The pair of special editions was created to honour the legendary ‘Quadrifoglio’ badge, which first appeared on a production Alfa Romeo in 1963. Production is capped at just 63 units worldwide across both models.
The two limited-edition models debut exclusive new paint finishes: Rosso Collezione Giulia and Rosso Collezione Stelvio, bespoke hues inspired by the Rosso Villa D’Este shade worn by the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. The Giulia adopts a deeper, darker interpretation of the shade, while the Stelvio features a brighter and more open tone, reflecting their differing sporting characters.
Powering both the Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Collezione is Alfa Romeo’s 2.9-litre V6 twin-turbo petrol engine producing 375 kW and 600 N.m, delivered to the road via an eight-speed automatic transmission. Each model is fitted with an Akrapovič exhaust system as standard.
Exterior enhancements include an exposed carbon-fibre roof, carbon-fibre front badge and mirror caps, and carbon-fibre trim for the central tunnel and dashboard. Standard carbon-ceramic brakes, featuring red ‘Alfa Romeo’ script on burnished anodised callipers are also present.

Alfa Romeo unveils hardcore Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa
Billed as the most extreme Quadrifoglio model ever created by the Italian marque, Alfa Romeo has whipped the wraps off the Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa.
Alfa Romeo has unveiled the Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa. Touted as the most extreme model to don the ‘Quadrifoglio’ moniker, the Italian marque’s new special-edition performance sedan will be limited to just 10 examples.
So, what sets the hardcore special edition apart from its “standard” stablemate? Well, for starters, the Luna Rossa gains a model-specific body kit, fashioned from carbon fibre. According to the Turin brand, the fitment of the latter, including that large rear wing, enhances downforce (up to 140 kg), which, as a result, ensures improved stability. The Luna Rossa also features a revised front splitter and an updated diffuser. An Akrapovič exhaust system is standard fitment.
Further distinguishing the limited edition, the 19-inch alloy wheels feature a grey-and-red gradient finish. Model-specific decals are also present. Those with a keen eye will notice the red Alfa Romeo badges on the bonnet and rear end. The interior also features Luna Rossa-specific Sparco bucket seats, among several other items.

Alfa has given its 186mph Giulia super saloon more aero and a mad rear wing
Welcome back, old friend: meet the Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa
Things That Sound Better In Italian, Part 39: the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa. It’s a new limited edition of one of Top Gear’s very favourite V6-engined super saloons, and it’s a bit more than a new set of wheels and decals.
Because this Luna Rossa – ‘red moon’, of course – features a new low drag aerodynamic kit made out of carbon fibre (wonder if that’ll catch on) that Alfa reckons generates five times more downforce than the regular Giulia Quad.
So, at 186mph - it's top speed - this Luna Rossa is able to generate 140kg of downforce. That’s… sticky. It’s achieved via new appendages on the front bumper, new profiles on the bottom of the bodywork, newly sculpted side skirts, and that “spectacular” rear wing.
Certainly looks funky. It’s a ‘dual profile’ wing supported by two central pylons and whose design is inspired by the equally funky Luna Rossa AC75, which is a very fast hydrofoil.
