The spectacular launch of the Alfa Romeo Junior marks a before and after in the competitive B-segment of the European market. The Italian family continues to grow with the presentation of the new Junior, a sporty car that will become one of the emblems of Alfa Romeo while introducing a 100% electric model for the first time in the brand’s history.

The Alfa Romeo Junior stands out for its bold and dynamic design, inherited from more than a century of automotive tradition. With a length of 4.17 metres, it combines elegant and sporty lines with exceptional practicality, offering one of the largest boots in its category, no less than 400 litres, which is no small feat for a B-segment SUV.

The exterior design incorporates classic elements reinterpreted, such as the iconic “Scudetto” grille and Matrix LED headlights with a distinctive light signature. Wheel options range from 17 to 20 inches, depending on the version.

Three types of powertrain

The Junior stands out not only for its design but also for its advanced technical solutions. Developed by the team behind the acclaimed Giulia GTA/GTAm, this compact offers a driving experience that keeps the sporty DNA of Alfa Romeo alive, while adapting to offer a varied range of powertrains suited to modern demands:
