The rear features horizontal taillights reminiscent of the new X3, a robust bumper, and M Sport trim with sportier front and rear fascias.

The Stelato G9 has become the first vehicle to secure Beijing's L3 autonomous driving test license at 120 km/h. The large SUV employs a multi-sensor fusion system combining LiDAR, vision, and mmWave radar, featuring an automotive-grade 896-line LiDAR. It passed simulation, closed-course testing, and four safety validations: functional safety, SOTIF, cybersecurity, and data security. The L3 system covers nighttime scenarios with navigation-assisted, efficiency, and safety lane-change capabilities on high-speed roads. Already listed in MIIT filings, the G9 features an 800V architecture with both EREV and BEV options, scheduled for Q3 launch around August.

Alfa Romeo has teased a new C-segment crossover SUV built on the Stellantis STLA Medium platform, positioned between the Stelvio and Tonale with an all-new naming convention.

Powertrain options include mild hybrid, PHEV, and BEV variants, with production scheduled for Q4 2027. The Giulia and Stelvio are also set for generational updates, while a new sports car will emerge from the Bottega Fuoriserie collaboration with Maserati.
