Stellaris was formed last year through the merger of Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot maker PSA. It is also home to 14 brands, including bestseller Jeep, DS, and Lancia in the premium segment and Maserati in the luxury end. The new Alfa Romeo Tonale is based on a former Fiat Chrysler architecture, while the first Stellantis models built on a new shared platform are expected from next year.

However, the launch date has not been announced officially. The new Tonale, to be built at Italy’s Pomigliano plant near Naples, is Alfa Romeo’s first electrified vehicle and is initially offered in mild hybrid as well as diesel engine models. A plug-in hybrid version, with an all-electric range of up to 80 kilometers, will arrive later this year. The Drive reports that the all-electric version will be launched into the market by 2024.

The brand’s head Jean-Philippe Imparato said during a web presentation, “It marks a step in the direction of our group becoming a technology company,” Furthermore, the Tonale includes built-in Amazon Alexa voice assistant features. Owners will be able to choose their car as a delivery spot, allowing couriers to unlock the doors safely and leave a parcel inside the vehicle.

Alpha Romeo lineup

Imparato did not provide details about when an all-electric version could be released. Sales prices are expected to be announced before orders open in April. Some analysts say the Alfa Romeo brand could be part of Stellantis’ strategy in China, the world’s biggest auto market, where it has been lagging behind most competitors.

Imparato has promised a new model release for Alfa Romeo every year to 2026, starting with 2022’s Tonale. This should include a smaller-sized SUV, expected to be built in Poland. Last year Imparato told an Italian dealer’s event, “Alfa Romeo will launch a new model every year until 2026,”

Lancia’s head Luca Napolitano told the same event he had presented Stellantis CEO Carlo Tavares with a 10-year plan for the brand. It has been selling only one model, the small Ypsilon, and only in Italy. The strategy aims to expand the brand to other European markets, including France, Germany and Nordic countries, with a focus on large cities, to complete the group’s premium offer from Alfa Romeo and DS, he said.

Kia EV5 Charges into the UK Market with Sleek Looks, Smart Tech, and Up to 329 Miles of Range

Kia’s EV portfolio continues to expand, and the EV5 is the newest entrant to join the electric SUV party in the UK. Nestled between the compact EV4 and the more performance-oriented EV6, the EV5 is designed to hit the sweet spot for families and city dwellers alike. With a striking exterior, sustainable interior materials, and solid electric performance, the EV5 aims to be more than just a placeholder in the brand’s electric journey. The EV5 will launch in the UK with one battery option: an 81.4kWh pack, delivering up to 329 miles of WLTP-certified range in the base 'Baseline' model and up to 313 miles in the mid-tier 'GT-Line' variant. Both versions are front-wheel-drive only. Powertrain and Charging Capabilities While Kia is keeping things simple (for now) with a single battery option, the EV5 doesn’t skimp on performance. The models revealed so far are FWD and optimized for efficiency. Power figures haven’t been fully disclosed yet, but expect punchy acceleration and smooth handling typical of the brand's electric models. What makes the EV5 especially practical for UK drivers is its 400V electrical architecture, which allows DC fast charging from 10% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes – or roughly the time it takes to watch an episode of The Office. Plug it into a 150kW charger and you're good to go in no time. Kia’s intelligent i-Pedal regenerative braking system also helps drivers maximize range with one-pedal driving, ideal for stop-start urban environments. Design: Sharp, Bold, and Boxy True to modern EV styling, the EV5 takes a bold leap forward with sharp lines, squared shoulders, and futuristic lighting signatures. The SUV embraces a boxier, more upright stance – a departure from the sleeker coupe-like profile of the EV6 – lending it a rugged, practical look that’s both urban- and adventure-ready. Expect a variety of vibrant colour options and distinctive alloy wheels across the trims, making this a head-turner on UK streets. Inside: Sustainable Luxury Meets Everyday Practicality Step inside the EV5 and you’re greeted by an airy, tech-focused cabin designed with both comfort and sustainability in mind. A seamless panoramic display stretches across the dash, combining the infotainment and instrument cluster into one fluid unit. There’s also generous cabin space, enhanced by clever packaging and flat-floor architecture. Kia has used eco-friendly materials throughout the cabin, including recycled fabrics and plant-based leathers. Add in massage seats, ambient lighting, and more storage than your average Zone 1 London flat, and you’ve got a space designed to both relax and impress. The Upcoming GT Variant While the Baseline and GT-Line trims are confirmed, Kia has teased a third, range-topping EV5 GT variant. This high-performance edition will feature all-wheel drive and a sportier character, but beyond that, details remain scarce. Expect it to arrive with beefed-up power figures, likely mirroring the punchy GT performance we’ve seen in the EV6 GT. Final Thoughts The Kia EV5 is shaping up to be a well-rounded electric SUV that offers strong range, thoughtful design, and innovative tech. With prices yet to be confirmed and the GT variant still under wraps, there's more to come – but based on what we’ve seen, the EV5 is a compelling new option for anyone looking to go electric in 2025. Keep an eye on Kia’s UK site for updates and bookings later this year.
