After multiple leaks including patent images, the wraps have come off the 2025 Alfa Romeo Milano small SUV.
Built atop the same Common Modular Platform architecture shared with the Fiat 600e, Peugeot 2008 and Jeep Avenger, the Milano offers the choice of EV or combustion power.
Stylistically, the Milano features concealed rear door handles reminiscent of the 156 and Giulietta, and a series of broken-up LED elements at the front, with a very bold grille – featuring the cross and snake logo in some variants.
Dimensions are 4170mm in length, 1780mm in width and 1500mm in height, which means it is positioned beneath the Tonale in terms of size and market segment.
Predominantly electric, one variant – called the Ibrida – is powered by a mild-hybrid ICE powertrain. It combines a 1.2-litre Miller cycle three-cylinder engine with a 48V hybrid system and a 21kW electric motor, hooked up to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Combined system output is 101kW, but the electric motor can work up to 150km/h.
The sporting flagship is the Veloce, with 179kW from its electric powertrain, using a 54kWh battery. With 25mm less ground clearance and a Torsen differential, stiffer stabiliser bars and 20-inch alloy wheels shod in sports rubber, it aims to keep up Alfa’s reputation for driver engagement.
It also features 380mm front disc brakes with four-piston calipers, and Alfa’s ‘DNA’ drive mode system will be available with Dynamic, Natural and Advanced efficiency settings to maximise versatility.
Internally, the interior features a 10.25-inch touch-screen and a 400L boot. There’s also very sporty bucket seats in the Veloce, soft Alcantara/suede trimmings, and what looks to be plenty of attention to detail.
The Alfa Romeo Milano is scheduled to Australia in 2025. Prices are yet to be confirmed, but our guess is it won’t be a cheap model line against others in its segment.
