Hiki iā Alfa Romeo ke maikaʻi hou? ʻO ka mea e pono ai ka hōʻailona kaʻao e hoʻokūkū me Tesla ma Italia | Manaʻo

ʻO ka SUV liʻiliʻi hou a Tonale kā mākou nānā mua ʻana i ka Alfa Romeo e hiki mai ana, akā he ʻanuʻu paha ia i ke ala hewa?

ʻO ka neʻe mua loa o Alfa Romeo mai ka neʻe ʻana ma lalo o ka hoʻomaloʻo Stellantis ʻo ia ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o Tonale i ka pule i hala. ʻO ka hōʻea ʻana mai o kēia SUV liʻiliʻi e lawe mai i ka lineup o ka brand Italia i ʻekolu mau makana, ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka mid-sized Giulia sedan a me ka Stelvio SUV.

He nani ka Tonale a lawe mai i ka electrification i ka brand storied no ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana no kahi hoʻololi nui i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana, akā ʻaʻole ia e hoʻoweliweli i nā papa o BMW a i ʻole Mercedes-Benz.

He manaʻo ʻē paha kēia i kekahi o ʻoukou - no ke aha e pilikia ai ʻo BMW a me Mercedes me kahi hōʻailona liʻiliʻi e like me Alfa Romeo, ka mea i hoʻohana i ka hapa maikaʻi o nā makahiki he ʻelua i hala aku nei e kūʻai aku i ʻelua mau hatchbacks Fiat i kāhiko ʻia?

ʻAe, ʻo ia no nā makahiki he mau makahiki, ʻo Alfa Romeo ka pane Italia i BMW, kahi hui e hana nei i nā kaʻa ʻenehana hou a me ka ikaika. ʻO ka pilikia wale nō, aia ma kahi o kanahā mau makahiki mai kēlā mau "lā kahiko maikaʻi" no Alfa Romeo.

No laila pehea e ʻike hou ai ʻo Alfa Romeo i kāna kilokilo a lilo hou i hōʻailona maikaʻi? ʻAʻole paha ka pane i ka noʻonoʻo SUV compact. Nani ka Tonale, akā inā ʻo ka laina laina o BMW he 3 Series, X3 a me X1, he kūpono ke ʻōlelo ʻaʻole ʻo ia ke kaʻa nani i kēia lā.

ʻO ka pilikia no Alfa Romeo, ʻo ia ka paʻakikī (a ʻoi aku ka pipiʻi) i kēia wā o kona hoʻomohala ʻana e hoʻohālikelike i nā hiʻohiʻona BMW, Benz a me Audi. No laila, pono ʻo Alfa Romeo CEO Jean-Philippe Impartaro, ka mea nāna i hoʻokomo i ka Stellantis, e noʻonoʻo ma waho o ka pahu a hoʻomaka i kahi hoʻolālā e hana hou ai i kahi manaʻo hoihoi i loko o ke keʻena kaʻa kaʻa.

Laki, he mau manaʻo koʻu, e Jean-Philippe.

Ua hoʻolaha mua ʻia e hoʻomaka ka brand i kāna kumu hoʻohālike mua loa i ka makahiki 2024, me kahi laina uila āpau ma ka hopena o ka makahiki. ʻO ka mea e hopohopo nei iaʻu, ʻaʻole e lilo kēia mau kaʻa EV hou i nā kaʻa uʻi, ʻaʻole kūʻē i nā manaʻo ponoʻī o Audi, BMW a me Mercedes e hoʻokuʻu i kahi ākea o nā EV, ʻo ka nui o ia mau mea i kēia manawa.

ʻO ia ke kumu e wiwo ʻole ai ʻo Impartaro a me kāna hui e hana i kahi mea hou a hoʻōki i ka hoʻāʻo e hoʻokūkū me ka German "Big Three". Akā, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o Tesla, kahi hōʻailona liʻiliʻi a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hale kūʻai me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka makemake e hahai ana (ka mea a Alfa Romeo i loaʻa ai).

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Impartaro i kahi hoʻolālā i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Tonale, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana e makemake ʻo ia e hoʻihoʻi i kahi kumu hoʻololi i ka ʻuhane o ka Duetto iconic. Ua kamaʻilio pū ʻo ia e pili ana i ke ola hou ʻana i ka papa inoa GTV, ʻaʻole pono e paʻakikī (ʻoiai aia ma ke kaʻa kūpono).

Me Alfa Romeo i kēia manawa hoʻokahi wale nō cog i loko o ka mīkini Stellantis nui, nā mana nui (nā haole ma ka liʻiliʻi loa) e like me Peugeot, Opel a me Jeep e pono e kālele i ka leo aʻo ka hōʻailona Italia e hoʻolilo i kona ikaika i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā kaʻa kupaianaha e hoʻi i kona hanohano. lā.

A pehea e pili ana i ka GTV trio āpau a me Duetto sports coupe a hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia me kahi hero supercar e like me ka mana nui a i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia i ka pākaukau o ka 4C? Hāʻawi ʻia i ka maʻalahi o nā paepae EV, hiki paha iā ʻoe ke kūkulu i nā ʻekolu āpau ma kahi hoʻolālā like like a hoʻohana i ka ʻenehana powertrain like.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, me kēia mau hiʻohiʻona, ʻike ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona e like me Tonale, Giulia a me Stelvio (ʻoi aku ka nui o kā lākou kaʻa kaʻa uila). Hāʻawi kēia iā Alfa Romeo i kahi laina e hiki ai ke hoʻokūkū me Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model X a me (ma hope) Roadster, akā me kahi huna e hele mai ana mai kahi hōʻailona kahiko loa a ʻāpana o kahi hui kaʻa.

ʻO ka mea aʻu e manaʻo nei ʻo ka hoʻolālā maikaʻi loa i ka wā pōkole? ʻAʻole, akā he hiʻohiʻona lōʻihi ia a he mea nui ia no kahi brand 111 mau makahiki akā ua hakakā ʻo ia no nā makahiki he ʻehā i hala.

ʻO nā mea a pau a Alfa Romeo e hana ai ma lalo o Stellaantis, pono ia he hoʻolālā maʻalahi, ʻaʻole like me nā manaʻo nui i hala aku nei, e hoʻokō maoli ʻia. A i ʻole, e kū ana kēia hōʻailona maikaʻi i kahi wā e hiki mai ana.
