According to an advance reported today by Autocar, Alfa Romeo will offer the international market its compact SUV at the end of 2012. Known internally as C-SUV, the model will deal with the German proposals as Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes GLK, and will have the task of pursuing the renewal of the range Alfa: the side of myth and Juliet today there is only dated 159.
After the small SUV, it will be the home media to reach out to generation: the Julia is expected in the first quarter of 2013, and within the same year will reach the five-door MiTo and the production version of 4C. To complete the renovation program, the next year will reach the restyling of the Giulietta and the large SUV on a Grand Cherokee.
When fully operational, the new range is called upon to sell 500,000 units a year. The C-SUV, according to the English text will be produced on the same lines of the Mirafiori called crossover SUV to replace both Compass and Patriot. Together, the Alfa and the Jeep will be produced 280,000 units per year, with the first estimated on a volume of about 100,000 copies, half destined for Europe, half in the USA.
The new model will be born on the Global Compact Plus Modular Architecture, a platform derived from the C-Evo Juliet, essentially modified to accommodate the four wheel drive system. Over the auspices of Fiat, Alfa this basis will allow the crossover to be the most effective and enjoyable in its class in driving on asphalt, at the expense of off-road performance that will not be sure as a reference.
Choosing anything but random: the gifts will be enjoyed by offroader sister's Jeep brand. The Global Compact Plus Modular Architecture will be made up to 90% of steel with high strength, lightweight materials and will have parts in the front and rear sections. Regarding the suspension, the choices remain those views Juliet, with MacPherson struts in front and behind trilink, but even in this sector the use of aluminum will be more extensive.
The C-Alfa Romeo SUV will be offered with either front-wheel drive and with the integral. Of the petrol engines will debut the feeding system MultiAir 2, while between 2 MultiJet diesel will be center stage in particular optimized to reduce NOx emissions. The range will comprise a new 1750 TBi direct injection of about 200 bhp, the 2.0 JTDM 140 CV and a unit derived from the V6 Pentastar.
