The Alfasud was developed by Austrian Rudolf Hruska with a body design by Gourgetta Giugiaro of Ital Design as a small front wheel drive family car.

The car was built in a new factory at Pomigliano d'Arco in the poor Southern Region of Italy as part of a Government initiative, hence the name Alfasud (Alfa South).

First shown at the 1971 Turin Motorshow as a 1186cc engined model with a Boxer layout and a belt driven overhead camshaft on each block.. The range of engine size increased over the production run to include Petrol engines of 1.2,1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.7 litre versions of the Boxer engine. The car went through two facelifts, first in 1977 and the second one in 1980.

In late 1977 the Alfasud Super replaced the range-topping four-door "5m", initially powered by both the 1.2- and 1.3-litre engines from the "ti", though both were equipped with a single-choke carburettor. The Super introduced improvements both outside, with new bumpers including large plastic strips, and inside, with a revised dashboard, new door cards and the choice of either Alfatex (vinyl) or two-tone cloth seats. In May 1978 the Sprint and "ti" got new engines, a 79 PS (58 kW; 78 hp) 1.3 (1,350 cc) and an 85 PS (63 kW; 84 hp) 1.5 (1,490 cc), both with a twin-choke carburettor

The 1980 facelift introduced plastic bumpers, new instrument panel, headlamps and rear lights as well as other revisions.

In addition to the Pomigliano d'Arco plant cars were also assembled in South Africa, malaysia and Malta.

Despite sophisticated engineering, Alfasuds (especially the early ones) had a strong reputation for suffering from rust, possibly due to the storage conditions of the bodies at the plant.

The five door models were replaced in 1983 by the Alfa romeo 33, a three door model continued into 1984 being replaced by the Alfa Romeo Arna.
