Alfa Romeo develops and markets premium passenger vehicles as a brand within Stellantis. The company competes in premium passenger cars and SUVs, including internal-combustion, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery-electric products depending on the model and market. Production leverages Stellantis plants across Italy, including Cassino for the Giulia and Stelvio, and Pomigliano d'Arco for the Tonale. The brand positions its core models around rear-wheel-drive dynamics and Italian design identity. Stellantis manages financial reporting by geographic segment and corporate activity, so it does not issue a standalone audited income statement for the Alfa Romeo brand.
