The Alfa Romeo Kamal is a crossover SUV concept car designed by the Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo. The Kamal was presented at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show.[1] The vehicle used the Fiat Premium platform, which it shared with the 159, Spider, and Brera, and was initially set for launch in 2007 by November 2005.[2]

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. Kamal means lotus in Sanskrit. The term means perfection or the synthesis of opposites in Arabic.[4] At the end of 2016, Alfa Romeo launched an new production crossover SUV, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, with sales commencing the following year.[5]
