Fiat-Chrysler is finally going to replace the Alfa Giulietta

The Fiat-Chrysler group (FCA) has planned an extensive program to revitalize the  Alfa Romeo brand, that is currently declining (target: 500 000 sales in 2020 against less than 100 000 in 2013). In the brand's re-launch program, the manufacturer focuses primarily on high-end vehicles (segments D and E). The Mito (B segment) and Giulietta (C segment) therefor seem doomed.


The Giulietta will after all  have its offspring, which makes sense when you consider the recent history of the Alfa Romeo brand which focused on C-segment models, and if we also consider its competitors (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus Volvo) that all have C-segment models (A3, Series 1, Class A). The Mito will be the only model which won't be replaced.


It will be more likely for Alfa-Romeo to reach 500 000 sales in 2020 with the help of a C-segment model (manufactured in Cassino, Italy), which could represent up to 100 000 sales per year.


This program is part of a broader strategy of brand repositioning inside the FCA group. Fiat will become the entry-range brand, Dodge the mainstream brand, Chrysler will become an intermediate between mainstream and premium brands, Alfa-Romeo the premium brand, Maserati and Ferrari brands will become the super-premium brands. The Jeep brand will hold a special place, it will market all of FCA's SUV starting from entry level to Premium level. The Lancia brand will be permanently removed.
