Alfa Romeo is walking back a plan to go all-electric by 2027, keeping internal-combustion models in the mix for now amid slumping North American sales, reports Automotive News.
Speaking at the recent National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) show in New Orleans, Alfa Romeo North America boss Chris Feuell said the switch was made last month, according to the report.
“The maximum vital on our product and generation road card is to move from what was a Bev strategy just for Alfa to a multiple energy strategy,” said Feuell in an interview with Automotive News. “We have 110 dealers. In our American network, and it would be very complicated for them only with a bev portfolio. “

It’s already proving challenging for Alfa Romeo’s U.S. dealerships to survive with a product line of gasoline and plug-in hybrid models. U.S. sales declined 38% in the fourth quarter and 19% overall in 2024, according to Automotive News, which notes that 2024 was the brand’s fourth consecutive year of sales decreases. And despite being well into the 2025 model year, Feuell told the industry trade journal that 2024 models still account for half of Alfa’s U.S. inventory.
The American diversity of Alfa Romeo is recently composed of the old Giulia sedan and the crossover of Stelvio and the new tonal crossover. Dodge Hornet Twin, the tonal brought for the 2024 model as a rechargeable hybrid, but adds a motorcycle organization option only to gasoline by 2025.
Feuell would also have asked distributors if Alfa Romeo brings little Junior crossover to the United States. Fully electric edition here for sale in California and Florida, and potentially other states that respect the strictest systems of California.

The American brass of Lopass can bring the soft hybrid edition of The Junior here, however, that still does not leave many characteristics for new internal or hybrid combustion models. The replacements of Giulia and Stelvio are electric cars, while Alfa advances with plans to pass all the electric ones in other markets.
Alfa Romeo is rarely the only luxury logo that goes back in EV lenses. Last year, Genesis showed that turning the course by launching only electric cars after 2025 and would load hybrid versions of the next global models. They also say general engines. Being less committed to the purpose of making Cadillac All-electric until 2030. But it is not clear if Alfa Romeo’s replacement is expressed in North America or if it also applies to other markets.
