Alfa Romeo has unveiled its latest creation, the Alfa Romeo Junior, at Milan Design Week 2024. This exciting new model comes with a surprising twist – it was originally named the Milano, but Alfa Romeo underwent a last-minute rebrand due to legal restrictions. Despite the name change, the Alfa Romeo Junior promises to capture the essence of Italian automotive design and performance.
A Name Steeped in History
While the Milano name may have been short-lived, the Alfa Romeo Junior evokes a powerful legacy. It refers to the iconic Alfa Romeo GT Junior of the 1960s and 1970s, a car renowned for its sporty handling and timeless design. This connection to Alfa Romeo's rich heritage is sure to excite enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Electric Performance with Options
The Alfa Romeo Junior is the brand's first all-electric vehicle, breaking new ground for the brand. This is a significant step towards a sustainable future for Alfa Romeo, and the Junior promises an exciting driving experience. Two electric engine options and a 48-volt petrol hybrid option are available for those seeking a balance between performance and efficiency. The electric versions are offered in two trims: Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica and Elettrica Veloce (Alfa Romeo Junior Electric and Electric Veloce), while the hybrid option is called Alfa Romeo Junior Ibrida.
