Alfa Romeo, the famed Italian brand that started its American renaissance almost a decade ago, will launch a large E-segment all-electric SUV in the United States to compete with the Tesla Model X and other zero-emissions models from rival companies.<\/p>\n

The Stellantis-owned Italian carmaker will design the new SUV in Italy with US customers in mind, according to The Drive<\/em>, who spoke with the brand\u2019s North American chief, Larry Dominique.<\/p>\n

Set to be launched in 2027, when Alfa Romeo will no longer sell internal combustion-engined vehicles, the large electric SUV will have an interior size, features, packaging, and tech \u201cideal for North America.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy 2027, Alfa Romeo will no longer be selling ICE to anyone,\u201d Dominique told The Drive<\/em>. \u201cThe fastest-growing premium vehicle in the U.S.\u2014Tesla<\/a>\u2014is kicking everyone\u2019s ass. We think of ourselves as different from the others. We just don\u2019t want to blend in. We\u2019re not a gray BMW<\/a>\u2026 Our customers tell us they buy Alfas because \u2018You\u2019re not that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Alfa Romeo returned to North America in 2014 after a 20-year hiatus and is currently selling the Giulia sedan, which competes with the likes of the BMW 3 Series, the Stelvio SUV, which is in the same segment as the Mercedes-Benz<\/a> GLC, and the Tonale<\/a> crossover, which is using the same underpinnings as the Dodge<\/a> Hornet.<\/p>\n

The Italian brand says that the United States will be the main market for the upcoming large all-electric SUV, with 70 percent of sales estimated to come from this part of the world.<\/p>\n

Details about the underpinnings of the Tesla Model X<\/a> rival are non-existent at the moment, but we can make an educated guess and say that it will probably sit on the STLA Large<\/a> platform developed by Stellantis, which is aimed at performance vehicles that measure between roughly 189-216.5 inches (4,800-5,500 millimeters)<\/p>\n

According to the early specs released by the American car group back in 2021, models based on the STLA Large platform can accept battery packs that range between 101-118 kilowatt-hours, delivering up to 500 miles (800 kilometers) of range. At the same time, the maximum power output should be between 125-330 kilowatts (168-443 horsepower).<\/p>\n
