Alfa Romeo is finishing its first crossover and will bring the car to market in mid to late 2016 in Europe and the United States, Automotive News Europe is reporting.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed the model in his call last week about the automaker's second-quarter earnings. The BMW X3 and Audi Q5-sized Alfa hasn't been publicly named, but will be based off of Alfa Romeo's coming Giulia.
The car would launch in Europe around September 2016 with a U.S. launch three months later, Marchionne said.
The midsize crossover would complement Alfa Romeo's Giulia and would be the third car launched in the U.S. after the Giulia and 4C.
"Alfa's plan is progressing as we told you it will go," Marchionne said, according to Automotive News Europe.
It's unclear what engine the crossover would get, or whether it would receive the hilariously boosted 510-horsepower, Maserati-developed V-6 from the super-performance variant of the Giulia.
The crossover will likely be assembled at Alfa Romeo's Cassino plant, which also produces the Giulia and Giulietta. Despite a U.S. launch, it appears that FCA only has one North American-assembled car coming out next year, the redesigned Chrysler Town and Country.
