LEAKED: Here's Your First Look At Alfa Romeo's Baby SUV

Images of the new Alfa Romeo compact crossover -previously dubbed Project Kid- have surfaced online, giving us our first look at the automaker's smallest SUV yet.

The blurry images give us an idea of what to expect, at least from a styling perspective. The front end retains the Trefoil grille, but the Alfa Romeo badge has been repositioned on the hood, like a BMW. The headlights keep the sinister, piercing effect, but Alfa seems to have followed the split headlight design favored by so many manufacturers.

Elsewhere, the front fascia has an aggressive front bumper treatment with what appears to be a secondary grille. This suggests that the baby Alfa will receive a gas-powered or hybrid powerplant, but more on this later. The profile and shape share plenty of detailing with the largerTonale．

Most of the leaked images have been taken from the digital instrument cluster. The crossover's rear, visible in what looks to be a driver-assist mode, shows us a traditional Alfa Romeo rear. The slim taillights work together with a sculpted tailgate, creating an upmarket look. Sadly, we can't see much else, as the pictures are somewhat blurry.

More importantly, we can see infographics for battery charge, suggesting, at the very least, a hybrid system in effect. While the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale debuted with either atwin-turbo V6 or an electric powertrain, the new Alfa won't quite be as extreme. Still, we know various options will be available, as Project Kid will share a platformwith the Jeep Avenger, which is available as either a combustion-powered model ( a 1.2-liter turbo three-cylinder with 155 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque) or an EV (154 hp, 248-mile range on WLTP cycle).
