Alfa Romeo crossover to be called the Giulietta Cross

Could be based on the Jeep Cherokee

According to a recent report, Alfa Romeo's upcoming crossover will be called the Giulietta Cross.

Citing sources familiar with the project, Autocar is reporting the crossover could arrive before the highly-anticipated Giulia which has been delayed on multiple occasions. The source went on to say the model will likely be based on a Jeep model.

Additional information is limited but previous reports have indicated the model could arrive as early as next year and be based on the Jeep Cherokee. There's no word on specifications but the Cherokee is offered with a 2.4-liter Tigershark four-cylinder engine that develops 184 bhp (137 kW) and 232 Nm (171 lb-ft) of torque as well as a 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 that cranks out 267 bhp (199 kW) and 316 Nm (233 lb-ft) of torque.
