Alfa Romeo ends gas models, introducing diesel in Europe

Alfa Romeo will stop selling gas-powered versions of its Giulia and Stelvio models soon. The automaker is ending orders for the turbocharged 2.0-liter engines as well as the powerful 2.9-liter V-6 Quadrifoglio models due to strict emissions standards. After March 30, customers will no longer be able to order the Giulia Quadrifoglio, and after April 30, sales for the high-performance Stelvio will also end. Orders for the 280-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo engine will wrap up on May 31. The only engine option that will remain available in Europe is a 2.2-liter diesel offering 160 or 210 horsepower. This diesel engine has lower emissions and allows Alfa to avoid EU fines. Alfa Romeo is also preparing for significant changes in its lineup. The company plans to refresh its models, starting with a new version of the Stelvio expected this year, followed by a new Giulia model arriving in 2026. These new cars will be built on a platform designed for electric and hybrid technology, as well as gasoline engines. Details about the new models remain unclear. However, an upcoming Dodge Charger, which will also use this platform, might provide hints about Alfa’s future offerings, including an all-electric version and potential hybrid options.
