Alfa Romeo’s Giulietta nameplate has successfully served the storied Italian automaker on several occasions with the most recent iteration existing until only a few years ago but what if it were to make another comeback? Wonder no more with these imaginative renders. 
The most recent Giulietta in Alfa’s lengthy history served as a sole hatchback in the modest lineup. In 2020, after a 10-year run, production of the popular model ceased leaving the Alfa lineup without a compact model to offer entry-level buyers. The Tonale made its debut shortly thereafter to plug this hole, but it joined the ranks of Alfa as an SUV, supplementing the Stelvio. A small, sporty, entry-level model to replace the Giulietta, embodied with the style and prestige of the Italian brand, is still not offered.

Digital artist Theottle has taken the project on, imagining what a replacement for the storied nameplate would potentially look like. The plot twist here is that it has been rendered as both a hatchback and a compact sedan.
Previously renowned for its dynamism and engagement, particularly in Quadrifoglio Verde spec, these hopeful renders would likely comprise a similar package that would appeal to enthusiasts.

Evidently in the images, the prospective models feature the latest styling of the Tonale, which has been imbued in the most recent iteration of the Giulia already. This includes the distinctive Full-LED adaptive Matrix 3+3 headlights which merge into the iconic Scudetto grille.
Towards the rear, the same recipe has been applied with the Giulietta receiving an identical dose of the Tonale light bar and a similar-looking rear diffuser on the sleek hatch.
The sedan seems to boast the same proportions as the Giulia, with the roofline and shoulder line visually similar. The diffuser also seems to be inspired by non-Quadrifoglio versions with a single tip on each flank. The alloy wheels are also taken from the current Alfa lineup completing the distinguishable look.

These are purely imaginative since Alfa Romeo has no intentions to reboot the famed nameplate which has served the brand from the early 50s as an affordable yet sporty model. Based on global buying trends, a compact sedan which would rival the likes of Audi’s A3 and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class may not prove financially viable ahead of an electrified future, but there is still certainly an appetite for hatchbacks with young buyers.

With a modest range of 3 models on offer currently, these striking Giulietta models may have been a volume-based product that the firm could use to bolster a lineup in addition to the Tonale.
