10 Electric Cars That Absolutely Nail The Styling

Many brands choose to unveil a large, high-margin luxury SUV or sedan as their first foray into the world of EV manufacturing. Alfa Romeo could have done exactly that — parent company Stellantis already makes the Maserati Grecale Folgore, which could have been easily rebadged — but it chose not to. Instead, the brand has unveiled a smaller, cheaper crossover that shares a platform with the Europe-only Jeep Avenger and Fiat 600e. It arguably looks better than both of its Stellantis stablemates, with plenty of characteristic Alfa flair. 

This is set to be the smallest vehicle in the brand’s lineup and promises to be an important model in Alf Romeo’s history, whether or not it’s successful in showrooms. That’s because it’s reportedly being positioned by bosses as the brand’s volume seller. If it lives up to expectations, it could help shape the future of the brand. As such, it’s a relief to see that the car offers the same level of sharp, sporty styling that Alfa enthusiasts have long admired.

Designing something befitting of the Italian brand on a platform so compact and upright is an accomplishment in itself, especially given the aerodynamic considerations that had to be made to achieve the car’s 250 miles of range. The market demand for crossovers and SUVs of all sizes seems to be insatiable, and so if Alfa Romeo has to make a small crossover to keep its bottom line healthy, at least it looks like a proper Alfa should.
