Alfa Romeo confirms the return of the Giulietta
► Giulietta nameplate returns in hatch form
► Expect to see it after new 2028 C-SUV
► Design cues from Cuoreresso concept
Alfa Romeo is planning to bring back the Giulietta nameplate after the launch of the 2028 C-segment SUV, (codenamed ‘A4U’ for now).
The new hatchback will use the upcoming STLA One architecture, a modular platform designed to underpin more than 30 models with hybrid and battery electric powertrains. The difference here is that the Giulietta should have a little bit of added Alfa-ness to separate it from the rest of the Stellantis stable.
Speaking at a roundtable interview, Alfa Romeo and Maserati CEO Santo Ficili (pictured below) said: ‘We need to exploit the platform we have, but change everything connected to the platform. Meaning suspension, steering wheel, wheels, brakes. First of all brakes, and then the interior and design.’
The new Giulietta is still in development, so expect it to take a few more design cues from the Cuoreresso concept revealed at the 2026 Paris Motor Show than the almost-ready SUV does. The face and taillights are the most likely elements to carry over to the production car.
We’re told the concept’s mix of physical and digital controls on the centre console will also make it onto future models, as well as the driver-oriented cabin.
Like the previous Giulietta, it’ll be hatchback shaped, but will sit somewhere between the old model and the new C-SUV in size. To accommodate battery tech for the ‘multi-energy’ powertrains, ‘naturally the car will be a bit higher than what we have in mind in terms of C-hatchback,’ Ficili says, though he is adamant it will not be identifiable as an SUV. A crossover, perhaps?
The SUV model is due on sale in January 2028, with the Giulietta to follow.
