🔮 Next-Generation Stelvio & Alfa Romeo Strategy
While the 2026 model year includes the current Stelvio, Alfa Romeo is planning a next-generation version for the near future with major changes:
-
A new Stelvio architecture based on Stellantis’ STLA Large platform is expected in the next few years, with hybrid and electric powertrain options eventually offered.
-
Alfa Romeo had initially planned EV-only future versions, but now appears set for a multi-powertrain approachincluding hybrid variants before full electrification.
-
Production of the outgoing ICE Stelvio has been extended into 2026 while replacements are finalized.
This means 2026 is one of the last model years for the familiar gas-powered Stelvio, making it potentially a strong lease/buy opportunity before the redesign arrives.
📊 Who It’s Right For
✅ Drivers who want a sporty, engaging SUV with Italian flair
✅ People who value all-wheel drive as standard
✅ Those looking for a premium cabin and tech in a compact SUV
⚠ Competitors like the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Genesis GV70 may have higher-tech interiors or more powertrain options — something to consider if tech and electrification are priorities.
If you’d like, I can compare the 2026 Stelvio with specific competitors (BMW X3, Audi Q5, Lexus RX, etc.) so you can use that in a leasing pitch or customer conversation.
