Alfa Romeo’s line-up is suffering big changes in order to bring thr italian car in European’s customers attention. After the newly-launched MiTo, Alfa Romeo is working on the next generation 149.
The future model will be a semi-successor for the curent 147, and that’s because the Italian company will build two different models for the three and five-door versions. MiTo will be the replacement for the three-doors version of the 147, while the 149 will be successor for the 147 five-doors version.
But the future 149 will not be built on the same platform as the current Fiat Punto, as previously reported.
Alfa Romeo will offer an all-new platform, with FWD traction, but an AWD version being possible for the top version.
149 will offer between 120 and 265 hp, the top version being powered by a 3,2 liters V6 engine.
149 will be revealed next year and production will begin at the end of 2009.
Alfa Romeo is working a crossover version of its forthcoming 149 C-Segment model. It will be unveiled sometime in 2010 and will come to compete with models like Infiniti EX35.
The Alfa Romeo 149 SUV is will be powered by a 2.0 turbo engine that will deliver 300 hp. It will be offered with AWD system, 20" wheels and with the latest LED technology.
A brand new Italian hot-hatch is currently in development by Alfa Romeo. Coming to replace the 147 that charmed all of us with an unmistakable design back in the year 2000, the new vehicle will be called 149. Following the Alfa Romeo’s “Cuore Sportivo” (sporty soul) slogan, the Italian compact to be launched in late 2007 is expected to surpass in terms of looks of all its competitors and offer a great driving experience. Let us hope that reliability and durability will be there to sustain such a beautiful design.
