2025 Alfa Romeo Junior price and specs: New EV, mild-hybrid small SUV joins range

2025 Alfa Romeo Junior price and specs: New EV, mild-hybrid small SUV joins range

7NEWS10-07-2025
Alfa Romeo is launching its first electric vehicle (EV) in Australia, but the compact Junior crossover SUV will also be offered here with a mild-hybrid petrol powertrain.
The 2025 Alfa Romeo Junior Ibrida and Elettrica are being released in Australia in July, priced at $45,900 and $57,900 before on-road costs respectively.
That makes the Junior the cheapest Alfa Romeo offered locally since the Giulietta hatch was discontinued.

The Ibrida is $5000 cheaper than the larger (but also mild-hybrid) Tonale small SUV.
Built in Tychy, Poland – something that necessitated a name change from Milano after an uproar from the Italian government – the Junior shares its underpinnings with the Jeep Avenger.
The Avenger is thus far offered here only with electric power, and is currently being offered for just $40,000 drive-away in base Longitude guise.
Pricing
Drivetrains and Efficiency
The Alfa Romeo Junior features similar output and performance figures across its two very different powertrains.
Both Juniors feature MacPherson strut front suspension, with a solid beam axle at the rear.
Alfa Romeo claims the Elettrica takes 27 minutes to charge from 20 to 80 per cent using a 100kW DC charger.
The Ibrida features a 21kW electric motor built into its gearbox, and Alfa Romeo says this mild-hybrid technology allows it to run purely on electric power for certain low-speed manoeuvres like parking.
Dimensions
Servicing and Warranty
The Alfa Romeo Junior is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty with roadside assistance for the same period.
The Elettrica's high-voltage battery is also backed for eight years or 160,000km.
Alfa Romeo has yet to announce service pricing.

More from Court and Crime Sue Morphet is the former chief executive officer of Pacific Brands and past president of Chief Executive Women. Now, more than ever, Australia needs a robust, universal early childhood education system that supports women's workforce participation, economic and community prosperity, and ensures our children get the best start in life. This progress remains vulnerable and requires ongoing commitment. The gains Australian women have made in workforce participation didn't happen by chance; they resulted from deliberate policy choices that strengthened entire communities. In crisis, the temptation is to abandon what seems broken rather than fix it. But our early learning system is too important to abandon. We need better oversight, routine quality assessments, fairer wages and more support for our dedicated early educators. The overwhelming majority deserve our respect, not suspicion. This system needs serious reform. New powers to strip funding from failing providers must be the beginning, not the end. We must see early childhood education as essential infrastructure, like our schools and hospitals, vital to thriving communities. Real flexibility requires structural reforms: universally accessible paid parental leave shared between partners; targeted tax reforms to reduce effective marginal rates that discourage women from increasing their hours; and most importantly, building a universal early learning system where access isn't determined by postcode or income. Ideas such as replacing early learning support for families with tax deductions might sound like flexibility, but they're a mirage. They disproportionately benefit higher-income families and fail to help those most in need of safe, affordable early education. Nonetheless, we've failed to utilise our single biggest untapped resource: scores of qualified Australian women, over 140,000 of whom still cite early learning costs or availability as barriers to working more. We're leaving this immense talent base on the table at a time we absolutely cannot afford to. Every economist in the country has been warning us about the slump in our national productivity. Our economy is crying out for talent, facing critical skills shortages across every sector. According to the Grattan Institute, even a modest 2 per cent increase in women's workforce participation would inject over $11 billion into our nation's economy. Deloitte notes that achieving gender equality would grow our GDP by over $128 billion. CEW research conducted by Dr Angela Jackson shows that if women participated in our workforce at the same rate as men, we would unlock a million additional workers. Addressing this imbalance is not only fair but economically essential. This paradox is clear in our workforce: around 70 per cent of Australia's part-time roles are filled by women, representing a striking underutilisation of decades of investment in women and girl's education and skills. Yet despite this progress, we still have a very long way to go. Australia ranks 34th globally for women's economic participation, despite having one of the world's most educated female populations . Now, more than ever, Australia needs a robust, universal early childhood education system that supports women's workforce participation. Picture Shutterstock Today, that system enables millions of Australian women to engage in the workforce, benefiting not only individuals but entire communities and our economy. This progress wasn't just awarded to us. Legions of women fought for it. The expansion of access to high-quality early childhood education and care changed that, brick by brick, centre by centre. Too many brilliant women stepped back, their talents lost to our workplaces and economy. Women faced impossible choices: abandon careers they'd spent a lifetime developing or cobble together unreliable care arrangements. I remember starting my career when access to high-quality early learning was virtually non-existent. But we must not let this crisis undo what generations of women fought so hard to build. I understand why many in this moment do not feel confident in our early learning system, and it is clear that major reforms are needed. We're already seeing this pattern emerge, with some calling to abandon the early learning system in favour of subsidising parents to stay home, with everyone understanding that this burden would overwhelmingly fall on women. Societal shocks, as author Naomi Klein has noted, have the potential to be used to roll back progress that takes decades to achieve. Australia now stands at a pivotal moment. The justified rage and anguish families feel is a response to a profound betrayal of our collective trust.

2026 MG 4 detailed: Softer front-wheel drive hatch to get semi-solid-state battery

More next-generation MG 4 information has been released, with the brand announcing Chinese-market pricing and specifications for the new electric hatchback that may be released in Australia. It's launching in China on September 5 with a choice of two lithium iron phosphate batteries, but MG has confirmed mass deliveries of a semi-solid-state battery option will commence sometime this year. Pricing will be announced in September, though LFP-powered versions are priced from between 73,800 and 105,800 RMB (~A$15,800 to $22,700). MG is calling it the first mass-produced semi-solid-state battery, and is claimed to offer superior low-temperature discharge power and energy retention to batteries from rival brands, while also remaining smoke- and fire-free even in rigorous 10-pin three-way puncture tests. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new MG 4. Click here to get a great deal. The company hasn't confirmed any specifications for this battery, but the entry-level 42.8kWh LFP battery offers 437km of range and energy efficiency of 10.4kWh/100km – both under the CLTC cycle. The 53.95kWh LFP battery bumps these numbers up to 530km and 11.4kWh/100km. MG says the new hatchback features "the only integrated thermal management system in its class", which it says utilises a "proprietary aluminium rare-earth alloy" and "breaks Tesla's patent monopoly, achieving the 'impossible triangle' of efficient, comfortable and stable thermal management". The MG 4 supports 2C ultra-fast charging, allowing the vehicle to be charged from 30 to 80 per cent in 20 minutes, and also features cell-to-body integration. All MG 4s use a front-mounted electric motor offering 120kW of power and 250Nm of torque, which means the new MG 4 is front-wheel drive – not rear-wheel drive like the existing MG 4 which, while axed in China, will live on in Australia. It also features MacPherson strut front suspension but a torsion beam rear, unlike the existing MG 4 which features multi-link independent rear suspension. Inside, there are 30 storage spaces, including a 98L concealed dry/wet separation storage space under the boot floor. Other handy features include soft-light mirrors up front "designed for women's makeup and touchups", a ventilated 50W wireless phone charger, and a 1.8m2 'king bed mode' when you drop the 60:40 rear seats. There's extensive use of "baby-grade, skin-friendly leather", and the interior can be had in Rose Purple or Dark Mountain Blue. A 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system is standard, but a larger 15.6-inch unit brings MG x Oppo Smart Car Connectivity. The new MG 4 is the first vehicle to include Oppo's Smart Driving features, developed by the smartphone company and MG's parent SAIC Motor, allowing for greater integration between the vehicle and not only Oppo phones but also Huawei, Apple and Android devices. Available equipment includes heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, 256-colour ambient lighting and a panoramic glass roof with power sunshade. Down back, there's 471L of boot space, expanding to 1362L with the rear seats folded. The MG 4 measures 4395mm long, 1842mm wide, 1551mm tall and rides a 2750mm wheelbase. That makes it 108mm longer, 6mm wider and up to 47mm taller than the current MG 4, on a 45mm longer wheelbase. It weighs between 1415kg and 1485kg, and uses a different platform to the existing MG 4 and MG S5 EV which ride on the Modular Scalable Platform. There are 14 active safety features in total, and MG says there's a blind spot function for rainy and dark weather – likely the same Rainy Night Mode seen in the new IM5 and IM6. The new MG 4 has been spied testing locally, and MG has confirmed it's being evaluated for a local launch. "We have taken our evaluation of this new model to the next stage in our process. It is under serious consideration to join alongside our award winning MG4 range to best match technology to the evolving needs of Australian drivers and lifestyles," said an MG Motor Australia spokesperson. "The much loved current MG4 is not going anywhere. Further testing will be completed before a decision is reached around this new model in Australia." While this new model has confusingly been revealed as the new MG 4 in China – where the existing MG 4 is no longer available – it's almost certain to wear a different nameplate here. In late June, MG parent SAIC Motor applied to trademark the name MG 4 EV Urban with IP Australia. MG hasn't confirmed whether it will use this name, however, of the MG trademarks SAIC Motor has filed over the past five years, all bar one – the QS Plug-in Hybrid – has subsequently appeared on a vehicle in local showrooms.

2025 Nissan Patrol prices hiked by $5000

All versions of the Nissan Patrolare now $5000 more expensive than before, following a range-wide price increase from August 1. As of this month, the entry-level Ti variant is priced at $95,600, the mid-range Ti-L at $107,100 and hardcore Warrior flagship at $110,660. All prices exclude on-road costs. The price rise follows the release of an updated MY25 version in April, bringing the from the US-market Nissan Armada in exchange for price hikes of between $140 and $1340.

However, the Patrol still costs around the same as it did a decade ago in July 2015, before Nissan trimmed up to $27,500 from the price of the then-flagship Ti-L variant and reduced the base Ti price from $93,330 to just $69,990 plus on-roads. And the long-running sixth-generation Patrol remains more affordable than its nearest rival, the V6 diesel-powered Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series priced between $97,990 and $146,910. Nissan Australia has blamed a range of factors for hiking prices across the recently facelifted MY25 Patrol range, including the federal government's new automotive emissions legislation known as the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES). "There is a price increase across the Patrol range effective August 1st, 2025," said Nissan in a statement today. "A range of factors contribute to the pricing of a vehicle including cost of raw materials, logistics, foreign exchange rates, market dynamics and regulatory considerations such as NVES." From July 1, automakers began accruing financial penalties for exceeding fleet-wide CO2 limits, based on specific emissions targets for the light and heavy passenger vehicles sell. Thanks to its 5.6-litre petrol V8, the Patrol is one of Australia's highest-emitting new models, with an official CO2 output of 334 grams per kilometre – well over the 216g/km target for light commercial vehicles and large off-road SUVs for 2025. Despite being launched way back in 2010 (2013 in Australia), the Y62 Patrol continues to sell at record levels, with more than 8000 sold in 2024. If sales continue at that pace, the Patrol could attract almost $100 million worth of NVES penalties over the next 12 months – and even more in subsequent years – before accounting for credits earned by zero- and low-emissions models that undercut their CO2 targets. The Y62 will also need to comply with the stricter Euro 6 emissions standard under a new Australian Design Rule that comes into effect for heavy vehicles from November 1, unless Nissan has it recategorised as a Euro 5-compliant light vehicle by reducing its gross vehicle mass (GVM) to under 3500kg via a payload reduction. When the seventh-generation Y63 Patrol finally becomes available to Australians in 2027, potentially topped by a Nismo flagship, it will come with a downsized 3.5-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 that produces 317kW of power and 700Nm of torque, meaning it will offer more performance and lower emissions than the Y62's 298kW/560Nm V8.

However, the Patrol still costs around the same as it did a decade ago in July 2015, before Nissan trimmed up to $27,500 from the price of the then-flagship Ti-L variant and reduced the base Ti price from $93,330 to just $69,990 plus on-roads. And the long-running sixth-generation Patrol remains more affordable than its nearest rival, the V6 diesel-powered Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series priced between $97,990 and $146,910. Nissan Australia has blamed a range of factors for hiking prices across the recently facelifted MY25 Patrol range, including the federal government's new automotive emissions legislation known as the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES). "There is a price increase across the Patrol range effective August 1st, 2025," said Nissan in a statement today. "A range of factors contribute to the pricing of a vehicle including cost of raw materials, logistics, foreign exchange rates, market dynamics and regulatory considerations such as NVES." From July 1, automakers began accruing financial penalties for exceeding fleet-wide CO2 limits, based on specific emissions targets for the light and heavy passenger vehicles sell. Thanks to its 5.6-litre petrol V8, the Patrol is one of Australia's highest-emitting new models, with an official CO2 output of 334 grams per kilometre – well over the 216g/km target for light commercial vehicles and large off-road SUVs for 2025. Despite being launched way back in 2010 (2013 in Australia), the Y62 Patrol continues to sell at record levels, with more than 8000 sold in 2024.
