Could this be the real look of the Alfa Romeo 149? The vehicle is set to replace the 147 and could be in dealerships in a year’s time. This new render from Omniauto is quite convincing, as it shows the added dimensions that the car will have in taking its place in the market.

The car’s name is still under discussion, though the historic “Giulia” tag has emerged again, despite having been attached to the 159 substitute as well. What is certain is that Alfa wants to go back to its names, rather than continuing with the current numerical attributes.

The front of this render reflects that of the Mito, inspired by the 8C, while the sides take on the look of the 159. We’re less convinced by the headlights, which look like a mix between the round style of the Mito, and the alungated 147 lights.

The new compact from Alfa will use the C-Evo platform, derived from the Fiat Bravo and the Lancia Delta. The engine range should include the 1.4 T-jet at 120 and 150 hp, with a possible future version of the 180hp, and the 1.6, 1.9 and 2.0 litre Multijets, with power ranging from 120 to 190hp. In the long term we should also see the GTA with the 1.8 litre Turbo, direct injection which could bring power up to around 265hp.
