I prossimi modelli Maserati
Ficili had said to Auto Express that ony one concept will be unveiled, the SUV. The project seems to continue to progress, fresh news from today https://cnevpost.com/2026/11/09/maserati-partner-with-maextro-localized-production-china/ For the first time, only one model is mentioned (probably it's the SUV). Is it possible that the Quattroporte will be based on a different platform? Giorgio? Is the M9X still alive?

BMW platforms are multienergy (I'm not talking about Neue Klasse) so if you use them, you dont need the chinese

If they were interested in making a chinese copycat, they would've already taken that decision, just like Maserati (seems to have done). And the car would hit the streets in 12 months from now, not in 2030. They don't want to make a copycat of anything, especially of a chinese car. Daniele Chiari has said that the next-gen Giulia and Stelvio would make sense only with Alfa Romeo engines (therefore not EV-only), and especially the V6. So, either they won't do it at all (which is very possible), or they will do it like they did it with the 159: use components of an external partner (e.g. platform), but also preserve the identity of Alfa Romeo by using its own engines, suspension etc. Which is no different than the way the A4U (C-suv) and the A2H (C-cross) are being developed, so I can't see a problem. About the segments: well it's not a hint. He's making it clear that for the moment, this SUV is the flagship. But this doesn't mean they've stopped exploring the possibility of a new Stelvio.

The new SUV will be the Tonale successor, after all Alfa Romeo has so far called it a C-SUV. Yes it will be bigger (everything gets bigger), and it might have a new name, but that doesnt mean much. In no way will it be branded as a Stelvio replacement. Also, I doubt that the 400cv PHEV version will get the Quadrifoglio badge. Alfa Romeo still wants to make a new Giulia and a new Stelvio, they just dont want to do it alone.

https://www.alessioporcu.it/politica/stellantis-nel-tunnel-linee-pronte-giulia-e-stelvio-cancellate-2-anni-di-deserto-per-cassino/ According to this artice they examined the possibilty of using the Giorgio platform, but they decided to not go down this route. It was also mentioned in this forum in January (in the Giulia 2028 thread), that a New Giulia will arrive in 2028 based on the Giorgio platform. Given that it hasn't been announced since, it is put on ice. About the new Junior, I don't believe that it failed and there shouldn't be a new generation. I just say that it didn't go well, which is true given that the target was min 50k units annually. Also, you don't need a B-seg model to have a lot of sales: Cupra sold 330k cars last year with with presence only in the C-segment (except of the Tavascan) Well currently there is only one big Jeep/Dodge being developed, the next-gen Durango that will arrive in 2029, and will probably be based in the platform of the current Grand Cherokee

After reading carefully every official statement or interview there is, I've come to the conclusion (of course, my interpretation could be wrong) that they are seeking an external partner, and that is why the projects are frozen for the moment. There seems to be no other choice. STLA Large is dead. STLA One is not an option according to Cappellano. Giorgio? They considered it, but they opted not to, probably because it's too expensive. I believe they'll keep the Giorgio alive only for Maserati and specialties like the Bottega (and Copperhead?). It looks like the perfect realistic option would be, dare I say it, to repeat the success (?) of 159/Brera: co-develop a platform, while retaining the ability to use your own engines, suspension etc. About the Junior, what matters is the market, the sales numbers, and it hasnt gone well there

It looks like the original source is this quite interesting article, that was published in September 8. According to it: The Peugeot C-SUV will enter production in late 2029, while the new 308 hatch & sw in mid-2030 and early 2031 respectively The new Astra hatch will enter production in late 2030, the sw in early 2031 All three hatchbacks (308, Astra, Giulietta) will be sort of crossovers, and that is because they will have the thick, and low energy-dense (but cheap) LFP batteries from CATL in a platform that is intended to be multi-energy The current 308 & Astra will receive a second refresh in 2027-28 in order to stay competitive About Alfa Romeo The real reason behind all this mess is that Filosa has decided to allocate 60% of the €60 billion investment budget through 2030 to US products https://journalauto.com/constructeurs/futures-peugeot-308-et-ds-n4-stellantis-change-ses-plans/

I hope we'll see a new Compass in the US. The situation however is not crystal clear: https://eu.freep.com/story/money/cars/stellantis/2026/08/14/stellantis-eyes-canadian-plant-sale-delays-belvidere-plant-production/91306570007/ About the Hornet and Airflow, it really seems like they're heading to Belvidere. First, it's the same platform, so why not have all 3 models in one plant. Second, there were rumors that they might put them in Brampton, but now Stellantis is trying to close that plant

This is no longer the plan. The initial plan was SOP December 2027 for the Compass (which was later postponed to mid-2028), and November 2028 for the Cherokee. Given that it was announced in summer that the STLA One-based Cherokee will be made there from H2 2029, they'll probably just skip the current-Cherokee part completely. And it's not unthinkable for the Compass to never make it to the US.
