Given the premium positioning of the Italian brand, the new Alfa SUV is likely to make use of all the technology available to STLA One-based cars. That means elements such as the ‘STLA Brain’, where systems for things like powertrain, chassis and infotainment are centralised in one computer, should be standard on the Alfa Romeo.
We also expect to see the SUV gain ‘Smartcockpit’ technology which provides the driver-interaction layer (voice command and infotainment. As with other Stellantis cars, Smartcockpit’s interface will be bespoke to Alfa Romeo models.
Then there’s steer-by-wire. We’ve already experienced this in the Peugeot Polygon concept, though the set up available in Alfas using STLA One should hopefully get its own configuration to suit the dynamic expectations around the Italian brand.
The other model, labelled as a ‘Bottega Fuoriserie project’, will utilise Alfa Romeo and Maserati design and technology to create limited-edition, halo models like the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale and Maserati MCXtrema. The covered car appears to be more practical than either of those Bottega Fuoriserie creations with a high bonnet line and hatchback-style rear end, though we’ll know for sure in the next year or so.
