Alfa Romeo CXover – Urban SUV is already being tested!

The Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo is apparently starting to wake up from its " winter sleep ". It was not known about it for a long time, it still only has two hatchbacks in its offer and now it is already testing a new model. According to the first information and spy photos, it is a small SUV .

Alfa Romeo has long been known to have a larger model in the works, likely to carry the CXover designation, but it has yet to be officially confirmed. In the images from spy photographers, we see a prototype of the "heightened" Giulietta , which is being tested on the roads of southern Europe . The carmaker must really care about this model, because the competition is great. Let's name for example – Ford Kuga , Volkswagen Tiguan , Renault Koleos , BMW X3 , Mercedes-Benz GLK or the upcoming Porsche Roxster .

CXover will first come to the US when it returns, and only a year later to other markets. The SUV should measure around 4.4 meters in length and 1.8 meters in width. The car will feature, for example, 20-inch alloy wheels or rear lights with LED diodes. Under the hood we find a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with an output of around 300 horsepower. The CXover will have permanent all-wheel drive, sending 60% of power to the rear axle. Of course, the power ratio may vary according to terrain conditions.

The date of the premiere has not yet been revealed, but apparently we have something to look forward to. Finally!
