It is a fact that the Alfa Romeo Myth it was presented in 2008, and since then it has received only slight changes, so it naturally accuses the weight of the years it carries, currently falling behind what the competition has in the meantime placed on the market.
In recent statements, on the occasion of the Geneva Motor Show, Sergio Marchionne says that its continuity is on the line and if the model is to be maintained, it will certainly not be in the same shape as the current one.
These assertions are justified by the continuous decline of the three-door SUV segment, where "its practicality is very limited", with most brands even offering only five-door versions, and moving towards models with more oriented features. the world of SUVs.
Sergio Marchionne, CEO of the FCA GroupThe new Alfa Romeo is defined by the 4C, Giulia and Stelvio, and they are where we want to focus. The Giulietta and MiTo are good cars, but not on the same level.
Thus, the future of a new generation for the Alfa Romeo Mito, as we know it now, was very bleak, when the model does not even have a five-door version in the current generation.
Everything indicates that, if there is a successor to the Alfa Romeo Mito, it will most likely be a small crossover, for one of the fastest growing segments in the world, which already includes the Citroën C3 Aircross, the Kia Stonic, Renault Captur, among many others.
For this, the FCA group brand will be able to take advantage of the modular platform of the Jeep Renegade, a model where the Jeep brand concentrates most of its sales in Europe.
Sergio Marchionne, CEO of the FCA GroupThe Giulietta and MiTo are still sold, but they are cars designed for Europe. We don't sell them in the US or China.
The brand's strategy for the coming years will be unveiled on June 1st, when we will know the future of the brand's current models.
After these statements, everything indicates that Alfa Romeo is not currently facing the European market, which is naturally predictable, since one in two cars sold worldwide are for the American or Chinese market. larger dimensions.
