When Alfa Romeo teased its product roadmap last week, it intentionally left out the best part. While the special car co-developed with Maserati will certainly be interesting, it’ll cater to one-percenters, meaning a high price and limited production in the same vein as the 33 Stradale. For the rest of us, a far more affordable model is on the way.
Aside from working on a new compact crossover to slot somewhere alongside the Junior and Tonale, Alfa Romeo is bringing back a fan favorite: the hatchback. While it doesn’t have a name yet, the company says the new compact model aims to “build on icons like the 147 and Giulietta.” The Italian automaker hasn’t made a hatchback in nearly six years, with the last Giulietta assembled toward the end of 2020.
