Che Figata! Alfa Romeo Shows 2024 Lineup

The brand from Italy rolls into the next model year with a trio of models under its finely crafted leather belt, starting with the new Tonale and followed by the Giulia sedan plus Stelvio crossover. Fresh off the line are Competizione variants of the latter two, in addition to trims marking a centenary date.


Let’s start with the Stelvio. As Alfa celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Quadrifoglio performance brand, the plan is to build – you guessed it – a hundred copies of the limited-edition 100th Anniversary Quadrifoglio trim. Look for touches like unique wheels, carbon fiber mirror caps, and a dark grille. It’s not all paint and wallpaper, as Quadrifoglio models also upgrade the limited-slip differential from standard to operate mechanically instead of with what’s technically traction control wizardry. 


The new Competizione is based on a Veloce trim, meaning it’ll be powered by the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivering 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque, not the Quad’s 505-horse twin-turbo monster. Alfa adds active suspension gubbins here, along with the likes of a banging stereo system and extra badging. It is priced at $55,825 plus destination. All trims get fresh exterior lighting and a new digital instrument panel.

Prefer a sedan? Me, too. The slick Giulia model gets similar trim updates as the Stelvio, bringing a 100th Anniversary Giulia Quadrifoglio option and a Competizione which is based on the Veloce. Both those trims have upgrades that essentially parallel the same-name trims on Stelvio. Look for the Giulia Competizione to be priced at $51,520 plus destination for a rear-wheel drive car; add two grand to yer budget for all-wheel drive. It also gets new lights and a new gauge cluster.


Finally, we have the Tonale, offered as a plug-in hybrid that tag teams a 1.3L turbocharged four-banger and electric motor. Stated output is 285 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery, it does have an all-electric range of about 30 miles, suitable for wide swaths of city-dwelling Americans whose commutes are well within that number. There will be three trims: Sprint, Ti, and Veloce. 


For those with inquiring minds, we will tell you that Alfa Romeo sold 12,845 vehicles in this country last year, roughly split evenly between Stelvio and Giulia.

    LOL... the number of comments here will be far higher than the actual US Sales of all these models put together. If they are not zero (a prudent decision, not to bring them here and bleed millions and millions of $)

    Saw a black Giulia quad 3-4 years ago, looked good, haven't seen many since. Saw a stelvio the other day with a headlight out, which is half the face of the car.

  • Zipper69 "At least Lincoln finally learned to do a better job of not appearing to have raided the Ford parts bin"But they differentiate by being bland and unadventurous and lacking a clear brand image.
  • Zipper69 "The worry is that vehicles could collect and share Americans' data with the Chinese government"Presumably, via your cellphone connection? Does the average Joe in the gig economy really have "data" that will change the balance of power?
  • Zipper69 Honda seem to have a comprehensive range of sedans that sell well.
  • Oberkanone How long do I have to stay in this job before I get a golden parachute?I'd lower the price of the V-Series models. Improve the quality of interiors across the entire line. I'd add a sedan larger then CT5. I'd require a financial review of Celestiq. If it's not a profit center it's gone. Styling updates in the vision of the XLR to existing models. 2+2 sports coupe woutd be added. Performance in the class of AMG GT and Porsche 911 at a price just under $100k. EV models would NOT be subsidized by ICE revenue.
  • NJRide Let Cadillac be Cadillac, but in the context of 2024. As a new XT5 owner (the Emerald Green got me to buy an old design) I would have happy preferred a Lyriq hybrid. Some who really like the Lyriq's package but don't want an EV will buy another model. Most will go elsewhere. I love the V6 and good but easy to use infotainment. But I know my next car will probably be more electrified w more tech.I don't think anyone is confusing my car for a Blazer but i agree the XT6 is too derivative. Frankly the Enclave looks more prestigious. The Escalade still has got it, though I would love to see the ESV make a comeback. I still think GM missed the boat by not making a Colorado based mini-Blazer and Escalade. I don't get the 2 sedans. I feel a slightly larger and more distinctly Cadillac sedan would sell better. They also need to advertise beyond the Lyriq. I don't feel other luxury players are exactly hitting it out of the park right now so a strengthened Cadillac could regain share.
