"The Alfa Romeo Junior is the brand’s bold step into the compact SUV segment, aimed squarely at younger buyers seeking Italian flair with urban practicality. Originally unveiled in 2024 as the Milano, the name was quickly changed to Junior following a naming rights controversy in Italy.
Built on the Stellantis e-CMP platform, the Junior offers both petrol and electric variants, including the fully electric Junior Elettrica. While it shares underpinnings with models like the Jeep Avenger and Peugeot 2008, Alfa Romeo has infused the Junior with its signature driving dynamics and sporty design touches, such as the shield grille and driver-focused cabin layout.
In Australia, the Junior signals Alfa Romeo’s renewed push into electrification and smaller SUV offerings, balancing style and performance with daily usability. As one of the most accessible Alfas ever, it plays a key role in broadening the brand’s appeal."
The line-up currently starts at $45,900 for the Junior Ibrida (Hybrid) and ranges through to $57,900 for the range-topping Junior Elettrica.
Buyers can choose White Sempione with a black roof, Black Tortona, Red Brera with a black roof, Blue Navigli with a black roof, Arese Steel with a black roof or Galleria Light Grey with a black roof.
Standard features include matrix LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with satellite navigation, and a matching 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
Both Ibrida and Elettrica have Level 2 autonomous driving with adaptive cruise, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, a surround-view camera and a hands-free power tailgate.
A sunroof is optional.
The cabin uses anthracite vinyl on the dashboard and doors, with a black headliner.
Aluminium pedals, door sills and a leather steering wheel add a sporty touch.
Ambient lighting with eight colours comes standard.

It uses a six-speed dual-clutch automatic and drives the front wheels.
