Thinking about holding out for the new Alfa Romeo Stelvio? The brand's next-generation SUV is still coming, but it is now sitting firmly in the "later in the decade" bucket, not around the corner. Reports from Europe and the US agree that Alfa has pushed the SUV's debut back and reworked the plan, switching from a pure electric launch to a broader strategy.
That means the current Stelvio stays in showrooms while Alfa Romeo locks in the new model on Stellantis's STLA Large platform. The future SUV is expected to mix hybrid and full electric powertrains, grow in size and go straight after premium rivals such as the BMW X3. If you're shopping for a premium SUV today, you now have to decide whether to grab the Stelvio as it is or wait several years.
