Specs and details have been confirmed for the tiniest Alfa Romeo, the Junior (nee Milano) small SUV, ahead of its local arrival in the third quarter of 2025.
Sharing a CMP (Common Modular Platform) with the Jeep Avenger, Peugeot 2008 and Lancia Ypsilon, the Junior is the smallest Alfa Romeo since the MiTo went out of production in 2018. It sits beneath the Stelvio and Tonale in Alfa Romeo’s SUV range.
The sub 4.2 metre crossover will be available in the third quarter of this year with “Ibrida” and “Elettrica” (Italian for hybrid and electric, respectively) propulsion, with a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo engine generating 100kW and 230Nm, combined with a 48V mild-hybrid system for the Ibrida. It does 0-100km/h in a claimed 8.9 seconds.
The Elettrica utilises a 54kWh battery for 407km of WLTP range, with the front-wheel drive e-motor producing 115kW and 260Nm. Acceleration across 0-100km/h is claimed in 9.0 seconds.
Inside, a 10.25 infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto pairs with a 10.25 digital instrument cluster for a modern interior design. Alfa Romeo says the new model will be available with Level 2 ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control and lane change assist as well.
Several colour combinations will be available including black, Blue Navigli, Red Brera and White Sempione.
Chassis-wise, a direct steering ratio of 15.8 should give a precise steering feel, similar to that of the Giulia and Stelvio.
Pricing details will come to hand some time before its Q3 launch. Impressively, the Junior will come backed by an eight year/160,00km battery warranty on Elletrica over and above the standard five-year/ unlimited km warranty.
