Alfa Romeo is reportedly developing two SUVs, a C-SUV codenamed ‘Project 921′ and a bigger D-SUV codenamed ‘Project 931′. This two SUVs would be launched by end-2011.
The C-SUV (pictured above), a crossover based on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta coupe would be be called the CXover. Though the base versions would come only with front wheel drive, Alfa Romeo could also offer its Q4 all wheel drive system to the CXover. The CXover would compete with the likes of the Audi Q5 and the next generation BMW X3.
The D-SUV would be a bigger SUV and would derive its roots from the Jeep Liberty thanks to parent Fiat’spartnership with the Chrysler group and its 20% stake in the American company. The D-SUV would be called the DXover and would be bigger and meaner than the CXover. Both the SUVs would get the 115 hp 1.6 liter, 140 hp 1.8 liter or the turbocharged direct injection 1.8 liter producing 200 hp.
