The brand was also intended to have returned to the United States in 2007, with the new crossover SUV being crucial to the success of the planned return.[3]

During the development stages, Alfa Romeo used the project name CXover. In Sanskrit, Kamal means "lotus." In Arabic, the term means "perfection," or the "synthesis of opposites."[4] At the end of 2016 Alfa Romeo launched a production crossover SUV, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, with sales commencing the following year.[5]
