I-Italy iyawina futhi! U-Alfa Romeo uvika izembe njengoba uStelvio oqabulekile efika ngaphambi kwemodeli entsha ye-blitz - okuhlanganisa nezimbangi zayo uTesla Model 3 neLexus UX Hybrid, nokunye.
Ingabe i-21 Alfa Romeo Stelvio izithuthukisile eziningi ezincane ngokwanele ukuze ikwenze ifakwe ohlwini olufushane lwabathengi be-SUV abaphakathi nendawo?
I-Alfa Romeo isiphinde yaqinisekisa ukuzibophezela kwayo ekukhiqizeni izimoto ezishayelwa kwesokudla emhlabeni wonke kanye nokuba khona unomphela e-Australia, ikakhulukazi, okubonisa ukuthi ukwesekwa komkhiqizo kule makethe kuya phezulu kakhulu.
Ekhuluma eMelbourne kuleli sonto, u-Andre Scott, inhloko ye-Alfa Romeo kanye ne-Fiat Australia, uqinisekise abezindaba ukuthi inhloko yomkhiqizo emhlabeni jikelele uJean-Philippe Imparato (JPI) umtshele ngokungagunci ukuthi "ungemuva kwe-100" yase-Australia. »indlela.
"Besidinga ukuphendula lo mbuzo (ukuze sihlale e-Australia isikhathi eside) kunethiwekhi yethu," evuma.
"Ngakho-ke lapho siya emhlanganweni wethu wabathengisi ngo-Ephreli walo nyaka, sakwazi ukubatshela ngokuzethemba ukuthi u-Alfa uzohlala e-Australia."
UMnu. Scott wengeze ngokuthi ukubaluleka kwe-Australia kugcizelelwa ngokuba enye yezimakethe eziyinhloko ze-RHD emhlabeni futhi, ngokumangalisayo, ukuba nezwi ekubumbeni amamodeli akusasa, amaningi awo asathuthuka.
"I-Alpha iyingxenye yekilasi lomhlaba wonke," esho. “(I-JPI) izibophezele emakethe ye-RHD nathi, futhi siyingxenye enkulu yalesi sigaba sokuqeqesha - izingxoxo zemikhiqizo, ukuthuthukiswa - futhi kuze kube manje asikaboni lutho ngaphandle kobufakazi (ukusekelwa okugcwele).
"Ngingakhuluma ngalokho esisebenzela kukho isikhathi eside futhi i-RHD iyingxenye yaleyo ngxoxo... akuyona indaba yokuthi sithola kanjani ukuba yingxenye yalokho (uhlelo njengemakethe ye-RHD)."
Esinye isici esiza ukuvikela ikusasa lesikhathi eside le-Alfa Romeo ukuhlanganiswa kwayo nenethiwekhi ye-Stellantis, ehlanganisa izinhlobo zangaphambili ze-Groupe PSA i-Peugeot, i-Citroen, i-DS, i-Opel ne-Vauxhall ne-Fiat Chrysler Automobiles brand ye-Fiat yase-Italy, i-Alfa Romeo, i-Lancia. , i-Maserati ne-Abarth ne-Chrysler, i-Dodge, i-RAM ne-Jeep yase-USA.
“Kithina, lokhu kuyingxenye enkulu yokuhlanganiswa neStellantis,” kuchaza uMnu.
“U-Alfa uzibophezele ekubeni wuphawu oluphambili lwephothifoliyo yomkhiqizo wonkana. Ingxenye yalokhu kwakuyisibopho sokutshala izimali seminyaka eyi-10 futhi lokhu kwakhishwa njengesitatimende somphakathi.
"Futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, i-Australia ibikwe njengengxenye yalokho."
U-Alfa Romeo uthi ukulethwa kwasendaweni kwemodeli yonyaka wama-21 iStelvio ekugcineni kuzoqala ngamavolumu amakhulu engxenyeni yesibili ka-2021, ngemuva kwesinqumo esenziwe esikhathini eside esidlule sokumisa ukungenisa isitoko sonyaka we-19 nowama-20 sisuka e-Italy ngenxa yokushesha kwesidingo sokuqala kanye nokuhamba kancane. ukusabalalisa ngokweqile igagasi lokuqala lezimoto ze-MY18.
"Besidinga ukuhambisa amasheya," kusho uScott.
Njengoba sibike ngenyanga edlule, ukwenza iStelvio yakamuva ikhange nakakhulu kulabo abangase babe abathengi, intengo yokuthuthukisa i-MY3000 yehliswe cishe cishe ngama-$21. Izimbangi iPorsche Macan, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC ne-Audi Q5 nazo zihlomule ngokwethulwa kobuchwepheshe bokusiza abashayeli abazihambela kancane, uhlelo oluthuthukisiwe lwemultimedia, izinto zangaphakathi ezithuthukisiwe nezinye izinto ezijwayelekile.
Lezi zinhlelo ziphinde zasetshenziswa ngonyaka odlule kwiStelvio luxury sports sedan eqhudelana neBMW 3 Series Giulia.
I-Alfa Romeo Giulia idlale indima ebalulekile ngenkathi isanda kwethula isibuyekezo sayo sokuqala esikhulu.
Izintengo ze-Stelvio ziqala ku-$64,950 ngaphandle kwezindleko zokuhamba ze-base trim (i-oda elikhethekile kuphela), kufika ku-$69,950 Wezemidlalo, u-$78,950 weVeloce (okulindeleke ukuthi udayise kakhulu), kanye no-$146,950 we-Quadrifoglio esekupheleni.
Njengoba udizili uphela e-Australia, amabanga amabili aphansi aphuma nenjini engu-148 litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol enamandla angu-330kW/2.0Nm, iVeloce inyukele ku-206kW/400Nm, namawele angu-375 litre. -cylinder enamandla angu-600kW/2.9Nm 6 Nm -Turbo VXNUMX ihambisana neQuadrifoglio. Bonke bathumela idrayivu yabo kuwo wonke amasondo amane nge-ZF ehlinzekwe yi-XNUMX-speed automatic torque converter.
Bobabili uStelvio no-Giulia basebenzisa injini ye-Giorgio ye-premium longitudinal injini enedrayivu yangemuva/wonke amasondo.
Kodwa-ke, imibiko evela e-Europe iphakamisa ukuthi lokhu kuzogcina kuqedwe ukwakhiwa kwe-skateboard kagesi wonke i-Stellaantis eyakhayo ngaphansi kwegama elithi STLA ukuze isetshenziswe kumikhiqizo yayo eminingi eminyakeni ezayo.
Kuzogxilwa kakhulu kwi-GT kagesi enezicabha ezine, okuthiwa izogqoka ibheji lodumo lwe-GTV ukuze iqhudelane neTesla Model 3 kanye neBMW i4 EVs.
Kodwa-ke, izitimela ezihlanganisa uphethiloli kanye no-petrol-electric hybrid powertrains zizoqhubeka nokusetshenziswa ngaphambili naphakathi e-Alfas, okuhlanganisa ne-Tonale SUV encane ebambezeleke kakhulu ehlelelwe u-2022, kanye nokushintshwa kwe-Giulia ne-Stelvio eminyakeni ezayo. Amahemuhemu athi kuzovela i-crossover encane maphakathi neshumi leminyaka, okungenzeka ukuthi ihlobene ne-Peugeot ka-2008.
Ngayo yonke le ntuthuko, kuyacaca ukuthi u-Stellantis ululahlile uhlobo lwase-Italy i-Lifebuoy njengophawu lwayo oluqhubekayo lwe-EV-focused sports luxury brand.
Umphathi womhlaba wonke we-JPI uhlela ukubeka obala izinhlelo zika-Alfa Romeo emcimbini okhethekile wabezindaba ohlelelwe cishe ngo-Agasti noma uSepthemba, ngakho hlala ubukele ukuze uthole imininingwane eyengeziwe ngokushesha nje lapho isitholakala.
