Alfa Romeo's first ever SUV has been spied as a Fiat 500L test mule ahead of a late 2016 launch.

The weird-looking prototype was spotted in Italy during an early testing phase and it is believed it will use the same Maserati-developed "Giorgio" platform which will also underpin Alfa's upcoming sedan likely called "Giulia."

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles chairman Sergio Marchionne previously announced the company's future models will get an "advanced, high output four-cylinder" engine and a Ferrari-derived six-cylinder motor and chances are both of them could find their way inside Alfa's SUV codenamed "Project 949" which will have roughly the same size as an Audi Q5.
