The Alfa Romeo MiTo, a beloved subcompact hatchback, bid farewell in 2018. Yet, whispers suggest its potential return, this time as an electric vehicle. While some anticipate a faithful revival of its supermini roots, others speculate a crossover transformation, a strategic move considering the market’s shift towards SUVs. Alfa Romeo possesses the technical prowess to bring the MiTo back in various forms and powertrains.
A likely scenario involves the e-CMP platform, shared with models like the Peugeot e-208 and Opel Corsa-e. Alternatively, the new MiTo could leverage the Fiat 500 platform or the upcoming STLA Small architecture. While whispers of the Alfa Romeo MiTo’s return have been circulating, nothing concrete has emerged yet.
From its potential body style hatchback or crossover to its underpinnings, powertrain, design, and tech specs, all remains shrouded in mystery. The latest digital illustrations, courtesy of kdesignag on Instagram, envision the next-gen MiTo as a crossover. This virtual creation seamlessly blends elements of the original MiTo with cues from the Junior (formerly Milano) and the latest Lancia Ypsilon, particularly the distinctive taillights.
Though the combination might sound unconventional, the end result is surprisingly appealing. The iconic Alfa Romeo grille, modern lighting units, flowing curves, and muscular arches maintain the brand’s signature style.
The designer further enhanced the look with classic Alfa Romeo wheels and a striking two-tone paint scheme a combination of dark red and black. While the design is impressive, a slightly higher ground clearance and larger wheels could raise the crossover’s stance.
