Ad ora, la Countryman è più corta della X1, ma mi sembra che la prossima generazione sarà quanto la BMW,

..si, U11 e U25 saranno molto piu simile come dimensione come oggi F60 e F48.

Ma a 'sto francese la lingua non gli si secca mai ? Anche perché quando la mette in moto, non è che Alfa faccia una gran figura, considerando che dice tutto ed il contrario di tutto ad ogni piè sospinto....

P.S.: dice anche più di qualche bugia ad essere onesti. Evita che è meglio per tutti...

Ma si dai. Mi veniva da ridere nel video in cui si faceva intervistare nell’ ufficetto torinese della nuova startup alfa romeo a Torino, dove a dir suo con una bici è un monopattino la quarantina di impiegati a vario titolo si stava ispirando per creare le nuove ar… vantandosi peraltro delle decine di migliaia di ingegneri del gruppo in tutto il mondo.😂😂😂 comico! Come buffo è anche quando parla della vibrazione delle alfa elettriche… mi veniva da ridere a vedere il faccione bonario che mimava “la vibrazione”

La nuova Alfa concorrente della Mini Countryman sarà l’Alfa Villico. Sarà un successo

Alfa CEO targets Mini; eyes adding SUV below Tonale

Former Peugeot boss Imperato says 'premium-ness is not a question of size'

 

COVENTRY, England -- Alfa Romeo aims to challenge Mini as part of its expansion into some of the world's biggest segments under new owner Stellantis.

"I can absolutely fight against Mini," Alfa Romeo CEO Jean-Phillipe Imparato said in a roundtable discussions with UK journalists here this week. "Premium-ness is not a question of size."

Imparato hinted that Alfa Romeo would launch an SUV below the compact-sized Tonale, which is scheduled to be launched next June.

"I'm convinced if I want to put Alfa Romeo on the safe side of P&L [profit and loss] in 10 years, I must be in the biggest segments in the world," the former Peugeot CEO said. "I need to be in the B-SUV segment [small] and C-SUV [compact]. Being in the corner doesn't bring any results."

Alfa is developing a small SUV named Brennero, after a mountain pass in northern Italy, Italian media reports say. The car is expected to be built at Stellantis's plant in Poland, although this hasn't been confirmed. Mini recently announced it was developing an electric small SUV to sit below the Countryman.

Alfa currently only sells the Giulia midsize sedan and related Stelvio midsize SUV. The lack of electrified versions that are popular with business users has restricted Alfa Romeo's sales to about 60,000 a year, Imparato said. Mini sold 292,394 vehicle globally last year.

The automaker stopped making the Giulietta compact hatchback in 2020 and axed the MiTo small car in 2019 after more than 10 years of sales.

The automaker's most famous small car was the Alfasud, which was produced from 1971 and 1989 and gained a strong following among fans despite problems with rust.

Alfa Romeo's expansion into more popular segments will immediately boost volumes, giving it a chance to improve its financial position, Imparato said.

"The C-SUV segment in Europe is around 2.5 to 3 million cars a year in Europe," he said. "The B-SUV segment is 2 million. Whatever the market share you have, it's a huge effect in terms of volume."

The delayed Tonale compact SUV will come with a plug-in hybrid at launch, Alfa has said. Production will start at Stellantis' factory in Pomigliano, southern Italy, in March 2022, followed three months later by the launch "if I consider the quality to be OK," Imparato said.

Imperato said Alfa Romeo won't push volumes as part of Stellantis, which was formed by the merger of PSA Group and Fiat Chrysler Automobile as the start of this year.

The automaker has increased its volume of built-to-order cars to 72 percent, up from 38 percent at the beginning of 2021, Imparato said.

All automakers have sharply reduced the number of cars built for stock in response to the ongoing microchip shortage, but Alfa will continue on that path to the point where 90 percent of all cars it make will be built to order by the end of 2022.

"I do not want to build cars that are not supported by a final customer order," Imparato said.

Alfa Romeo has traditionally been one of the most heavily discounted brands as management pushed often-outdated models on markets.

Imperato says the first thing he was told when took over Alfa Romeo earlier this year was that the automaker needed to "feed" its plant in Cassiano by producing a large number of Giulias.

He said, "No."

Under Stellantis Alfa Romeo will introduce a new model "or significant event" each year to 2026.

Alfa Romeo will launch its first EV in 2024 and starting in 2027, all new Alfa Romeo vehicles will be electric, the brand has said.

Future Alfa models will be built on Stellantis platforms including the "STLA large" architecture.

The new Tonale will be built on the Jeep Compass's Compact Wide underpinnings.

Elkann, ti prego, fermalo.

 

Un altro aspetto, e quello delle sede, in Italia, Francia e Germania, si è optato per la sede-fabbrica (Mirafiori, Poissy e Russelheim), mentre per gli USA resta il mega building Auburn Hills (che deve costare TANTO), non so se questo è molto « Tavaresiano ».

 

Secondo me anche qua un errore non avere la sede storica in Francia a Sochaux, in Italia al Lingotto per esempio. Come le sede dei marchi… Peugeot non a Sochaux, Citroen/DS non a Parigi, ma tutti a Poissy, Alfa non ad Arese/Balocco ma a Torino, etc…

Sì ok nulla di nuovo, parla del SUV erede di MiTo con la quale già all'epoca AlfaRomeo cercava di mettersi in competizione con Mini con alterne fortune. Che poi ci sta che si guardi a Mini per quel che riguarda il premium nei segmenti bassi. 

Un b SUV è un auto di 4.30 metri che parte da 25000-28000 euro. BMW ha la Countryman, audi la q2. Io mi chiedo che problema c'è se Alfa facesse un auto del genere?

Il problema è che molti poi non possono più usare la scusa che Giulia e Stelvio sono care per non comprare Alfa 🤣

Infatti BMW lo fa fare a Mini non a BMW… e Audi non si sa se ci saranno ancora seg.B in futuro. Detto questo, Alfa sarebbe anche più specialistico sportivo rispetto ai generalisti BMW e Audì…

Se fanno una bella suvvetta sportiva (non bacarozzo) va benissimo; più scelta c'è, meglio è
